That was exactly my point. If you pay $500 per channel, and maybe $1k for monitors, $1k for the computer, $1k for a MIDI controller, that's already $6k. Another $4k could easily get eaten up by room treatments, misc hardware like mic stands and cables, control interfaces, patch bays, etc. So $10k is reasonable, and if that's reasonable, then the difference between $200 Logic and $60 is not all that great.
Never mind the fact that if you actually earn a living doing this, the Reaper license is $225 anyway.
P.S. I think the $50 for a cheap mic is too low, and $100 is the lowest you should pay (probably for an SM57).
P.P.S. There are lots of ways to mic a Viola, no need to get a special Viola mic.
