Re: recording LF

["Per Boysen" <perboysen@gmail.com>]

Just a short note on that: I don't own much gear, but I periodically
get to know a lot because I make a modest living partly from writing
test reviews for musician magazines (in Swedish, mostly). As for my
own music making I can't afford to keep much gear around and I also
prefer to work with as little gear as possible in order to getting
better at what I'm doing.
