Of issues,

and if you need to “clean up”
A vocal then it really wasn’t recorded properly.

and yes equipment matters
And no the radio won’t play low budget recordings.

And also I used to engineer for a living.
But thanks for the offer.

None taken my friend. But it’s an example basic editing. I should’ve posted the original to compare

Lmaoo true. I’ve came across tons of videos of producers saying this.

“The mix will make it sound good. Don’t worry about your fuck ups”

But I’m you guys opinions, what would you consider EP/mixtape quality?

Studio Equipment helps alleviate the stress of the workflow. It makes the creative process easier. But if you are just referring to Headphones and a Microphone, thats kind of essential to begin with. Better headphones pick up better range for mixdown and mastering. Better microphone delivers crisp and clear recordings but that also depends on the acoustics of the room you record in.

Studio Equipment that help the creative process is midi keyboards, analog synthesizers, drum machines/racks, and multichannel mixers

The quality of the product is entirely on the producers personal knowledge of the DAW

^This is what I get when fucking around with noise reduction, EQ's, compressing vocals, etc.

It’s possible with a cheaper mic as well, like a $50 Blue Snowball. I only got the AT2020 though.

This really needs a normalizer applied as well as some sort of hard-limiter. You can use the default one but I would recommend the Limiter No. 6 plug-in. You're vox be too loud bro bro.

Normalizing destroys audio,
Specifically it brings up the noise floor,
Just recorded properly and there’s nothing
else you need to do to it

Personally, semi expensive equipment can make a big difference. When you got the right equipment, everything that you record going into your microphone and through your interface is being processed already, so you don't have to mix as much. The vocals come out clean so when go into the mixing process its easier to work with....Also keep in mind that depending on what type of music your trying to create makes a difference. Every microphone adds its own color to your vocals, so find a mic that will fit your genre.
