This is mostly in response to the studio pictures that show redundant/duplicate gear. I think that in today's production climate, 80-90 percent of your gear should be within one arm's length at any given moment. I'm not against pouring large amounts of money into gear (investing in quality), but I think that many people could benefit from limiting the # of devices that they use. Quite a few people become easily sidetracked by marketers and become gear collectors instead of musicians. This is just my friendly wake-up call to keep people honest with themselves.
I believe that there are quite a few people on these forums who would like to believe that they're turning a profit out of their craft. Too many people, however, will tell you that they "made $1,000" by making music recently. It's a bit of a half-truth if it took you $5,000 to get to that point. If you're just doing it as a hobby, it doesn't really matter -- but if you're attempting to make sales, winning the game of sales starts first with making yourself profitable. Am I one of the only people here who finds the business side of music just as interesting as the music itself?
Music or crack rocks. Those are your only choices:
I'd take music over crack any day of the week.
