The price quotes are complete BS. I -built- a very nice studio for under $20,000 in my garage, with all the sound damping and proofing needed that can make sound as nice as the lables. Sure it's small, and I'm not a "pro" recording engineer, but to say it takes that much money to sound good is completely wrong. I'm not saying the lables don't pay that much, I honetly have no idea what they pay for recording.
I also know that sounding good isn't going to be had with just some nice software and a fancy soundcard either. You will have to pay some good money to sound good, but not $20,000.
Large businesses also pay $600 per copy of MS Office. Does that mean I can't find it cheaper?
I also know that the Foo Fighters made an award winning album in a basement. AFTER making it big. Read the story of Nine Inch Nails if you don't believe good sound can come cheap.
And most importantly quit trying to smash peoples dreams!

Yeah, and when standing at the crossroads, be sure to make a deal with the devil. You can always back out later... right?
