I'd like to mention two things:
1.) Daft Punk sold their Album "Homework" 2.5 Million times, which had 
been recorded on a Mackies (MS-1202 and CR-1604) using a Behringer and a 
Alesis Compressor and a Behringer Parametric EQ. 
(https://enmoreaudio.com/check-out-a-full-list-of-the-gear-daft-punk-used-to-record-homework/)
2.) Cadac or Harrison or AMEK or which highly "professional" brand ever 
would have dreamt in the late 70ies of the qualities of todays mixer 
which you can buy for $150 (name it Alesis, Yamaha, Behringer, 
Mackie,...) There were opamps used which today perhaps are good enough 
for driving a LED but will never placed into an audio path, and the 
resistors where noisy and had a 10 times as bad variation as todays 
standard resistors. And nevertheless they made incredible well sounding 
productions on those old mixers back in these days.

I love talking about gear, but I am sorry: this gear shit does not 
matter neither for the music nor for the success!
