In this episode we go through a home recording studio buying guide, going more in-depth and elaborating on episode #2. This buying guide covers a microphone, audio interface, and headphones for entry-level, semi-pro, and professional level musicians.

To finish off, I bundled the microphone, interface, and headphones in each tier into one price so you can see exactly how much each tier costs. We also talk about GAS, Gear Acquisition Syndrom, and how pro gear can help and hurt your productions.
