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.

Following up if anyone finds this: In general, when you do upgrade your gear, the closer it is to the source, the more of a difference it will make. 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).
