My goal is to produce really great demos and even CDs of my music using the basic tools currently available to me. The Zoom records my vocals and guitars/banjo/uke beautifully. My Martin and Ovation guitars are all I'll ever need for acoustic guitar while my Paul and Strat give me all the electric I'll need. BIAB provides me with amazing instrument tracks I can use to further strengthen my songs. Reaper gives me an awesome DAW and Izotope Studio provides me with all of the plugins I'll likely ever need.

Based on my listening and comparing to references of music I like, I am quite pleased to be writing and producing some pretty damn good music! At this point my goal is to get better at using the setup I have rather than chasing small improvements in mics or preamps or other gear (but, like most singer/songwriters I do love gear so as I get spare money I'll probably buy more!)
