I agree Kevin (except your recordings sound pretty good to me!) But so far, it seems to me that Sly has not made any purchases he is likely to regret (unless he used the rent money!) Getting BIAB is a no-brainer and IMHO, the Izotope Studio Bundle, at only $399, is also a no-brainer! Does he absolutely need either of these? Nope. But I seriously doubt that either one will get in the way of him making decent recordings even if he never uses their full potential.
