Do our guitars really sound like crap because we don’t have a high end preamp?
Is the fact that our snare drums sound nothing like what’s heard on pro records really due to not having the right plugins?
Do our vocal tracks really sound like crap because of our cheap preamps?
More often than not, it’s not the fault of our studio gear…but of our lack of knowledge and experience.
I was a late bloomer and learned this lesson the hard way…many times.
I bought new recording studio gear many times when I really should’ve saved my money and worked on my skills as a producer.
