You guys are insane(intherain) - I never would have guessed that we'd ever hit a milestone such as this here on Patreon, thank you guys so much for choosing to support me. I don't know what I'd do without you. With the changes I'm making to the channel to better serve the music, Patreon is now more important than ever in helping me keep the channel financially stable, I so appreciate that.

For the $700 stretch goal, I initially was thinking that I'd use those funds to purchase a new microphone for my saxophone, that would be better suited to capture audio. However, after thinking about this and looking at the options around on the internet, I'm not really sure I even need to get a new microphone! It would be nice to have, sure, but perhaps there's another place to put that money that would be a better investment.

Here's where I'm turning to you guys. I know that this is my decision in the end, but I thought I'd solicit any opinions out there - do you have an idea for a piece of gear or equipment that would really up the quality of the videos on the channel? Let me know, and I'll consider it.

Instrumental pedals?? They sell them for woodwinds and brass I can totally link you to what I'm talking about on Twitter 😂 but it's pretty sick!

I think that would be more useful for a live setup! I'm not really looking to expand my live arsenal quite yet, since I can just use effects in my DAW, but thank you so much for the suggestion!

Save up for a Bari maybe?

Congrats man! If you don't have one already, maybe a physical drum set?

Your covers are always sounding perfect so audio isn't really something you should worry about

Another artist I patreon for got his video hit with a dmca takedown since it was a music video using cr'd music. Unfortunately he couldn't edit and re-upload with a different song because he had already deleted all the raw footage (it was a ton of footage edited together). So... how's your backup and storage solutions?

Which artist, out of curiosity? That really is unfortunate. I've got most of my rendered music files backed up on Google Drive, and I've got Time Machine running on an external drive to back up my boot drive (and soon my music external)! I could always use more space, perhaps an off-site storage solution would be good...

I've been thinking about that! However, a physical drum set would also mean a new set of drum mics - not sure if I'm ready to purchase _that_ much equipment yet.

I'll always say MORE CAMERA LENSES! You have the AC adapter for your DLSR right?
