Where the fuck are my music makers at? I mean the professionals,

yo fuck your neumanns, get a cad e300s or a m179 for 1/3-1/8th that price. Neumanns are so fucking overrated it's ridiculous. Also there's a big sound gap between a rickenbacker and a les paul, this makes me think you're an aesthetician poser, just get a knockoff with similar specs are those two and switch out the pickups and pots for something higher end and voila. If you have this budget cuz ur a rich fag I hate you.

>rickenbacker
>or a gibson les paul
???????

ask yourself why you want to get analogue eq or compression and if the answer includes the word warmth then don't

you're an idiot

You mean you can't just buy technical ability or skills to effectively use effects? Are you some sort of idiot, all you need to do is buy expensive shit and it always sounds great.

My sincere advice to you is buy a squire and use your cell phone to record.

You don't need a bunch of products and plastic crap to do the things you want. Somewhere along the way someone convinced you you had to have all this fashionable shit to be a real musician, but you don't. These expensive guitars, amplifiers, microphones, are tools. I'm not saying they're useless, but they aren't a prerequisite for being a musician.

All these songs were recorded with inferior technology than whatever you're using to post here, and all of them have genius production:

The Beach Boys - Wouldn't it be Nice? (MONO. Fucking MONO)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZBKFoeDKJo

The Beatles - Tommorrow Never Knows (4-tracks)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UjvdZm-Tu8

Neutral Milk Hotel - Naomi (4-track + tape deck)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ooj6pEd6YM

Have a Nice Life - Bloodhail (home recorded with a mid-2000s laptop mic. famously shitty sounding, but does that hurt it?)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ri5F633xSsY

The Olivia Tremor Control - Peculiar Noise Called Train Director
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LqtAuaVppW4

The point is, your tools are only as good as you. I think this might have come off mean-spirited, but I'm trying to give you advice.

If you want gear recs, ask /gg/. I use a bottom-shelf Ibanez acoustic and iPhone. I got the Ibanez because it was on sale.

yeah, that's awful advice dude

and to be clear something being mixed in mono does not at all mean it was mixed with poor quality equipment

and also everyone knows the beatles four track mixes were mixed in parts which were then subsequently mixed down into group tracks much in essentially that any other modern mix is done anyway

so what's stopping you from being a musician now? You can't record your opus using FL studio or garageband on whatever you have available to you?

What I'm talking about is a question of mentality. We tend to default to solving our problems by buying something. Fat? Buy weight watchers food. Cold? Buy medicine. Bored? Buy netflix.

These aren't necessarily bad solutions, the issue is that we default to the consumerist option, when there are other options that are more conducive to personal growth. Why not just, like, eat healthier? Why not make your own fun?

Instead of buying a new guitar, why not just git fucking gud?

I'm speaking as someone sitting on an unused keyboard and a box of effects pedals.

>>71214182
Fucking this.
OP is a talentless faggot with a rich dad.

>>71214332
I'll take those pedals off your hands senpai

ITT: poorfags making themselves feel better. You can make music with shit gear, but if you have the money it's definitely nice to get more.

Seriously though OP, if you're regurlarly around drum sets or blaring amps, spend $200 of your budget and get some really nice molded earplugs from an audiologist. If you're seriously about a music career it will add 30+ years to the life of your ears.

>>71214332
ok dude good for you enjoy using garageband lmfao

>>71213696
>not you bitches using a Yeti and thinking it sounds amazing
It sounds better than most equally cheap dog shit, you fuck.

>>71214182
What good would a squire do if OP isn't a knight?
