The indie record shop will have great music that you can't (or wouldn't) find anywhere else, and it'll probably also have a bunch of stuff that you don't care for. TapeOp is like that for me. I like the vibe of the thing, and there's good practical stuff in it, but it seems to want to glorify the "lofi" aspect of recording. Perhaps that's to encourage people that anyone can get in and get their feet wet, but it appears to depreciate want a really _good_ recording studio has to offer. Don't get me wrong, I love home recording and I think anyone who wants to do it should give it a try. It's great when people can produce a great record on a small budget, but it would be stupid to think that a warehouse somewhere with a couple of ADATs and Mackie can somehow produce the same results as the Record Plant, or that a $500 Rode mic really sounds as good as a U67. Now, depending on what you're doing, you might not NEED the sound quality of a U67 or Studio A at Ocean Way (especially true in the experimental music realm many of you live in), but really nothing compares.
