If you dont think that equipment matters, you are fooling yourselves....

If you cant hear the difference in quality of a shit DAC and a really nice DAC, you need your hearing checked

If you think your behringer preamps sound as nice as Neve preamps, then brother, are you in for a shock....

Im not saying equipment is everything

I completely agree with alot of what is said here. I cant make a good recording if the artist has no talent. But if you have an amazing artist, and you record him in a beautiful room, with gorgeous mics, big phat Neve pre's, hitting that tape hard, then the results will surely speak for themselves....

If you cant hear the difference between a recording done on beautiful vintage analogue gear, and a recording done at home via a budget mixer, budget mics, and budget converter....well......I dont know, you need to experience 'good' sound first hand.
