what are the chances of getting into a reknowned studio?
e.g. Real World studios:

Can you earn them a few million dollars? If your answer is no then the chances of that happening are minimal.

lol @ networking too, that shit is stupid
Linkdin or something like that facebook for "work" lol.
lol @ life
basically
It's true though, man. Studios are a dated idea and are totally shitty places. All they want to do is gouge you of your money and all engineers do is "network" (see: befriending you as a means to better themselves) and the ones left over from the 90s only stagnate creativity by keeping with their "tried and true" ways.

If your engineer is an older, 'round mid 50s, man with a long grey ponytail. You should probably not hire him.

Hell no. Maybe for start up bands I would agree, but working in a proper studio is much better. It creates a work ethic, seperating the idea of creating music with the idea of your lounge, and allows you to control the sounds you are recording way easier. Studio's will never die, just become rarer. A good studio will feel like a house, and that is really what they are turning into.
But yeah, for a starting musician, studios are a bad idea. Most people don't know how a studio works, so they'll turn up with half written songs, and it all just goes wrong. You want to be in the studio as little as possible, to keep costs down (naturally) and reduce stress. They're a very high tension place, with all the adrenaline and such flying around.
And networking is essential for career making in music, since it's all about who you know. It's all good making the best record that's come out in the past 10 years if only your best friend and your creepy cousin hears it.

Networking and marketing aren't the same thing, so I can't agree with that last sentiment. If you do good work, and are a cool dude then you'll be just fine. I'm not saying don't make friends, but don't be the fake ass hole who only calls on people because they know someone you don't.
The work ethic in studios thing is completely subjective as well and I'm not gonna comment on that aside from saying people like Phil Elverum and Omar Rodriguez record in their own studio and those dudes put out multiple albums a year.

Also, if you really care about your art then you shouldn't give a shit how many people hear it.
Lol I knew a recording studio based just outside of the city was an old farm / conversion.
£10 each band member deal got a 12 hour slot throughout the night breakfast was made in the morning. We were taught the basics of recording and got a couple hours then with the guy in charge call him the engineer? I duno, we got drunk / high and recorded music spent many nights at that place fun times.
Not that any of it was taken serious.

i've discovered he's kind of a pervert... :/
merzbow is trash
He's written a bunch of books on Japanese sex culture and BDSM. If that's what you mean by pervert, I don't see the problem with being strangely sexual.
