The great benefit of it is, I can step up to it, and in a matter of minutes have a quality recording made, and I can do this all day long. I can bring in another artist and record them hassle free. I can easily change mics to suite my needs. This rig will last for years. The test recordings I've posted are just the tip of the iceberg, the sound quality is much better in my studio. I'm very happy with the great sound of the mics I bought. Yes you can use cheaper mics and still get a great sound, but I wanted the real deal mics. So I consider this experiment a great success. So what's the alternative ?? Book studio time at $130 bucks an hour ?? You'll burn thru $1,600 bucks in no time.
