Default Re: Important equipment - real important

I have such a hard time understanding how people think that "vintage" gear is going to be a selling point in a recording project. I don't have a problem with vintage gear itself, I just don't think it is what I'd base my decision on where I'm going to record on. There is a certain minimum level of quality the gear needs to be to be usable, but it is and always will be the skill of the person operating the gear that will define the quality of the final sound. And really, anyone with that level of skill will have at least the bare minimum equipment to get the job done, so it is entirely about the engineer, not the gear.

If a MIDI event triggers a sample of a tree falling and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
