Studio recording not so much. I'll try to get some live recordings of us soon.
Home recording is great for "one guy and a bunch of synthesizers", but once you start adding instruments that can't just be plugged into the board, things get harder. You need high quality microphones, a good room and a lot of expertise. That's why pro recording studios are still in business.
