3 Studio Purchases I'd Never Make Again
Are you wasting money on your home studio?
Let's be honest: music production can get expensive fast. But there's a huge difference between investing in gear that actually improves your recordings and falling for marketing that promises better mixes without improving your skills.
In this video, I'm breaking down 3 studio products that I think are overhyped, overpriced, or simply purchased way too early by bedroom producers and independent artists.
We'll talk about luxury Mogami cables (the "origami" trap), why the Kaotica Eyeball may be solving the wrong problem, and the frustrating plugin update model that keeps producers spending money long after they've already bought the software.
The truth is that most producers don't have a gear problem. They have a recording, monitoring, acoustics, arrangement, or experience problem.
If you're building a home studio and trying to spend your money wisely, this video is for you.
I'd love to hear your take as well—what studio product do you think is the most overrated purchase in music production? Let me know in the comments.
