I am not really a newbie. But having been recording since I was in elementary school, using speakers and anything else I could get my hands on, its a load of fun using 99% software to do my recordings. The only thing I would consider hardware in my DIY studio would be the audio interface and the pc. It seems like software has come a long way and can pretty much cover anything. But I see a lot of cool looking home studios on this website that are still using a lot of high priced hardware. But I don't really understand why. Wouldn't it make sense to keep the investment as low as possible while still getting the same result? Wouldn't this keep the cost down for clients, or possibly a bigger profit? I just don't see the point of running the audio signals through a bunch of rack gear and consoles when the pc can do it all. Would love to hear some opinions about it.
