Hey guys... I'm more or less trying to help out those on the intermediate level... who want still high quality equipment but aren't planning on working a big budget feature. My gear is suited for Commercial/Documentary/and independent film.
And what in your opinions classifies "PRO" audio gear? Simply curious. I don't believe you have to have the most expensive kit in order for it to be professional. Obviously makes a difference depending on the application and where budgets afford you the opportunity to gather such equipment... But "PRO" in my estimation is gear that generally speaking is quite rugged, affords the users a larger selection of features and options, and most importantly produces a high enough quality of sound that can be used for commercial content viewed by larger audiences... I.E. not home videos, youtube, etc.
Everything is often relative... For you mixers with countless years of experience and credits to your name... you get jobs with large enough budgets where picking up a 788t with CL9 or other expensive setups is less of a big deal... And when you have the best, everything seems less professional... yet for mixers starting out with very inexpensive gear, gear you might laugh at is a dream to have for others.
Needless to say if you're already working on large scale projects than I doubt most would even need look at this post... but for others who can't still can't afford renting everything they want... what I have might offer them a great opportunity to still do a great job and get a better price from dealing with someone directly.
Cheers!
