Hey anytime. I'm glad that it's a helpful frame of mind. I'm relatively new to recording at 8 years in, but I've accumulated sooooo much CRAP that I let myself be sold on, and I wish I had done things differently. I can record most of the orchestras around here with a 2008 Yaris-full of gear, so that makes me happy.
Like everything, clarity of mind is key. Simple is good.
