I'll take a killer performance on a casio 4 track anyday over a shit performance at The Hit Factory. Good production isn't about the gear, anyway, it's about the production itself. And while we would all prefer to have banging mixes recorded on great equipment; at the end of the day that extra 1% that you'll get out of boutique stuff doesn't much matter. You look at a band like The Grateful Dead and that fact really comes to light...there are thousands of bootleg tapes out there are cherished by their fans: mistakes, poor production, shit equipment, and all. Britney Spears' stuff has a pretty decent level of production in it, but no one's gonna give two shits in ten years.

absolutely. truth be told, ive heard enough fantastic proffessional sounding songs made on cheap software setups with only 2 or 3 VSTis and free drum samples that it makes me think - i would be kidding myself if i thought that purchasing my dream list of studio equipment would make my songs that much better. i would still have problems in my songs that i didnt sort out because i thought throwing money at it would fix it. it doesnt.
