Yep, internalizing the idea that “better gear won’t allow me to skip the hard work” has taken time, but it is so true. Gear can make certain tasks easier, and it grants access to a bigger/different palette, but that stuff is nearly orthogonal to the creative effort itself, especially as an amateur.

So for an acoustic instrument, prefer to upgrade the instrument first, then treat the room where you’re recording, then upgrade the microphone, then the preamp, then the software interface(s).
