I never said it's not possible to get a good sounding recording, just that you can't expect to place mics in a room with serious problems with
radio shack type equipment and get it to tape just the way you wanted it to sound. There's only so far mic placement will go, I know as I can spend hours moving mics around.
Hence where the effects come in.... which is what we were talking about before.

With a few sheets of rockwool wrapped in fabric and a few blankets you can get some killer acoustic guitar recordings in a terrible room. The same is true with electric guitar and vocals.

No doubt, I have taken what advantages I can with a college student income (in other words, almost nothing
) to deaden the sound of my room, but it only goes so far.

People want to blame their room acoustics for their terrible mixes. I think that's hogwash.

But we weren't talking about mixes, we were talking about getting "
that" sound to tape exactly the way you want it to sound with no effects. In a small and cheap home studio environment that is likely not going to happen. Even using effects it may not happen, but you can certainly get closer. That's all I was saying.
BTW, do you have any recordings avaiable to listen to? I'd love to hear them.
