Display MoreWell...
Before 2020 i just played a Marshall Combo and a Epihone SG Pro. And than it all started in the end of 2019... (started a band and borrowed gear first).
2020:
- Gretsch G5220LH Electromatic Jet Dark Cherry Metallic
A Beauty. I love this guitar. It's so nice to play and looks fantastic.
- Marshall 1960AV
- Fender Telecaster Player Black
So easy to play. So light. Never thougt i would play a Telecaster.
- Behringer UMC404HD
Beginner interface for demos/home-recording. Will be upgraded soon.
- Harley Benton DC-Junior LH TV Yellow
Just wanted to try a P90 guitar without spending too much. As a lefty, there is not so much choice... I'm still not that happy with it. It plays OK and i will keep it right now, but i'm missing the punch in the sound.
End of 2020-2021:
- Kemper Profiler Rack and a Palmer Macht 402 (well... that's why i'm here...)
- Behringer FCB 1010
and the journey goes on. At the moment i have my eyes on a beautiful Gibson Les Paul 2018 Tribute.
The recording quality of the UMC404HD is pretty top notch until you get to the 1000 dollar mark, I my opinion is a great small unit. Unles you need more inputs for drums, I say you are better off buying a nice expensive mic preamp (I have an old Air mic preamp) and a compressor (prefferable a rack studio compressor). Your recording quality will go miles above.

I think it sounds a little bit muffled and not very detailled compared to the kemper headphone out, but in the end it's totally fine for recording quick Demo-Songs. Maybe my ears want to hear the difference or maybe it's just GAS...
My upgrade would be a focusrite interface with spdif-interface. I think that this will make some things easier and maybe sound better. And i think it has better preamps built in. I want to stay with the small form factor.
Sadly I will not have the space for Rack-Hardware. I'm looking to build a new desk this year and I can only use like 50% of the space for music-gear, because i also need it for my job. But everything will be taken into consideration.
The Matrix has gravitas. Love it!
Forgot you had the Motif XS (I have the rack) and INTEGRA (me too). Awesome units. Those two were intended to provide the bulk of my sounds when I bought them new back in the day. They're still sitting there waitin'...
This year, Nicky! Do it this year! You can always just transfer the project when you get the new machine. Start tracking or programming! Remember, I've been hearing about this since 2013, so it would be great to see what you've conceptualised/visualised.
I had a relatively easy 2020, because of the pandemic. Just figured I would batten down the hatches and ride out the economic malaise because I have other commitments besides music. I did buy some new stuff, but I sold a lot too. Pretty much broke even, I think.

You exaggerator you, AJ. I only joined on Star Wars day in 2015. 
I'm happy to wait 'til the right Apple Silicon machine drops, mate. Funds already saved thanks to the $10 000 AU Mac Pro (Intel) delay and debacle. I'd waited a long time for a new Mac Pro and I sure wasn't the only dude in that boat of disappointment. My outdated audio hardware won't work beyond my 2012 Mac Pro, and the 'puter's RAM slots are "disappearing" and the SATA drives only appear when they feel like it. It'd be a nightmare to even attempt to complete a project on this thing, not that there's enough active RAM for that anyway. It's reasonable to assume that a MOTU AVB system on an AS Mac Pro will serve well, but I'm not prepared to take the interface-upgrade leap on an assumption. Funds for the I/F upgrade saved years ago and sitting in a store's account in Canberra.
I've got rhythm and melody on-tap whenever I may choose to need it, brother, so I'm not worried anymore about trying to capture a creative phase or whatever. Be patient, Brother AJ; I'll do my best not to let you down.

That's six years, Nicky! Though to be honest, I am guilty of procrastinating myself.
