When I first started recording I had: a Tascam 4-Track cassette recorder, one SM58 mic, a guitar, a Casio keyboard, a borrowed drum set and a variety of miscellaneous instruments and toys that made noise. Today, almost 20 years later, I have made some upgrades, yet I'm still just a modest "home-studio" when compared to others. My current equipment list now includes: 6 mics, a newer Casio keyboard (with weighted keys...finally), a banjo, some guitars and a (different) borrowed drum set. I've been in high-dollar recording studios before, and they're nice. However, I'm thankful for the convenience and affordability of my personal studio, ThreeByNine.
I have been able to make a few recent purchases to help with this project. Paul Allen at Sweetwater has been a knowledgable and trustworthy salesman over the years (paul_allen@sweetwater.com). Also, Adrian Gamez (adrian@secondstoryms.com), a friend and a Guitar Center employee, was also able to get me some great deals.
In the end, it's not how much gear you own, it's how you use the gear you have.
