David Rovics hasn't added a story.
Just over four years ago I got into home recording, livestreaming, and podcasting, like millions of other locked-down people around the world.
Like many of those other people, I also had disposable income for buying the equipment I needed for high-quality home recording and broadcasting, largely as a result of the government spending that brought my family and millions of other American families temporarily into the ranks of the middle class.
In fact, when I walked into the shop where I bought this beautiful Shure microphone you see in the photo, I didn't even ask how much it cost. I just got the mic I wanted. Hard to imagine now what it was like for those of us beneficiaries of government largesse back in 2020.
Things are different now, and have been for a while. I've been getting a lot out of the equipment I got, making nice recordings and broadcasts. But I would love to upgrade my 2-input Focusrite box and get one with 4 inputs. Rather than using the same K&K DI box for all of my instruments that have K&K pickups in them, if I had several of them, along with that 4-input box, I could do a livestream where I can switch from one instrument to another as I like, seamlessly. A second microphone could be very useful, as well as a much more capable laptop than this one.
Even if I only reach 10% of my goal, I can buy some useful gear with that. If I reach the goal, I'll be really styling in here, and the results should be pretty evident for fans of my livestreamed concerts and other broadcasts, even if you're not an audiophile!
