Why do home studio recordings usually sound so bad?
Is it that people are rarely using high-end converters and preamps in their home studios?
Is it the absence of high quality microphones?
Or the lack of proper acoustic treatment?
The use of plugins instead of outboard gear?
The absence of an analog console?
