So I’ve gone and bought a whole bunch of gear.

I picked myself up a pair of brand new JBL LSR432P’s for $1050 — nearly $500 under list. They sound freaking phenomenal. To make matters better, they come with the whole room treatment mic deal, so I can quickly eliminate hugely biased mix issues.

Secondly, I got myself a nice cardioid condenser mic, a stand, pop filter, shock mount (EVAN CABALES TEW!). That has led to a few test recordings with some jazzy 5th chords on the piano, and… Jesus Christ, it feels so amazing to finally be able to listen to what I actually HEAR as I sing, and not the tinny, dynamic mic version of my voice. I swear, 90% of my insecurities just disappeared, and the ideas are flowing in like a raging river.

Lastly, I grubbed up a new TC Electronic Studio Konnekt 48 as part of a package deal for $1200 on eBay. I got myself the aforementioned mic in this deal, as well as a 250GB external drive, which is JUST what I needed. Freaking rad.

So, I am swimming in gear; both the music I listen to and create has never sounded better, and I may just be able to finally pull off the productions I’ve always wanted.

Oh, and I want to learn the violin, too.

I love music beyond words right now. There’s got to be some way to express that ;)
