Studio!

What gear you're using is a factor but more importantly it's a matter of how good the person using it is so it's more of a question of 'what are the chanced of finding a bad ass engineer who records in a house studio?'
It could turn out to be anywhere from straight crap to fire that would have most people thinking it was done in some expensive facility.

I've only put about 400$ into recording equipment and my quality is straight for my liking...Once I start mixing with better monitors I will be at a demo-quality level whitch ain't that bad. It really depends on whos behind your music, if your working with somebody who really has a str8 head on and knows what their doin then you will be str8, but if you got a dumb mofo behind the boards then your music will come out that way 
What are the chances of getting good quality out of a home studio? Its a good chance, even Snoop dogg has put out lil projects from his home studio.. It depends on the people/person behind your music, after a good raw vocal is produced from the artist, then its all on the engineer and his/hers creativity and ear for good clean leveled sound. You do need standards for equipment though... can't put out good soundin music with a 30$ mic and computer speaker monitors But yeah, it depends on whos engineering the sound!

I don't know much about equipment what R some good brands 2 look 4 such as amp's, mic's & so on & what R some brands 2 stay away from?Instead of looking for brand-names and stuff like that. Just listen to the cats previous work. Does it bang? Is the shit tight? If so then you chances are better than worse. If his previous stuff is ass then theres a good chance your stuff will turn out ass too.
The engineer himself is one of the most important factors in the quality of the end result so it's more about the person and less about his equipment.
Don't take that the wrong way though, what you are using is very important to the quality too. You don't see professional photographers using $20 webcams to take their pictures. Same applies to music.

And how good they can use it to their advantage!
To awnser your main question sweetie, talk to somebody about equipment who has things set, if they got a few minutes they will guide you in the right direction. Try D-Sane or anyone else that are sunken with knowledge behind the boards and equipment, they know their shit and if your lucky they will help you!

Point taken from the above quote. Recentley some cats I know went to local studio that has RADAR ( if you dont know what radar is, its a 24 track digital recorder which is HIGHLEY praised for it's converters which sound extremely analog like but do tend to be a little darker sounding ) and recorded a track and wow did it ever sound like shit!!!!!!!! And I'm not talking about a little bit of shit I'm talking a whole fuckin cow patty mountain of shit.
Nothing is stronger than knowledge. I tell people when I record them yeah I know alot of shit, but there's also alot of things I dont know.

Good Advice! I have listened to his previous work and the shit "IS" crackin and the sound to me sounds good but I'm not a professional so to someone else they may say it sounds alright! But everything is clear and the voice is at the same level as the music and it sounds professional like a snoop cd! I'll have to goto a music store and check out some equipment and ask around! I'll buy my own mic if it's that serious!
stay away from janky engineers who who DONT listen to what YOU tell them.
listen to previous work.
pay attention to the equipment. is it MAINTAINED or does it have soda and pizza stains all over it?
if you are bringing in someone to engineer for you or oversee certain aspects of your music its best that you inform him or her of the equipment being used.
case in point. your recording to a computer at this home studio.
your engineer is used to working with multitrack analog tape and adats.
the more info that can be shared PRIOR to you spending money the better.
:h:
ps thats speaking from experience and several KNOWN producers record music at home and take it to another studio. KHAYREE is one of them.
