Building £35,000 (soon when the resedential accomodation is finished, including a room for me and wife to be). I pretty much did all the work myself so that is raw materials only.
Acoustics and consultation £5,000
Desk £20,000 (paid £15,000)
Wiring £3,000
Mics £8,000 (paid £6000)
Mic Pres £8,000 (paid £3,000)
Outboard £8,000
Synths £4,000
Monitoring £5,000 (paid £3000)
Di boxes, cables, stands etc £1,000
Computer £3,000
An extra £14,000 in kit coming next year when the accomodation is finished and we go fully residential.
Loses on equipment which in hindsight weren't good investments £10,000 (an important thing to factor in)
Total £123,000 ($210,000) Retail - £110,000 ($188,000) out of my own pocket. Wahhhh, good job it's been nearly 15 years in the making. No wonder I haven't had a holiday for over 5 years and have been living on the live room floor for the last 12 months !!!
I've claimed back close to £17,000 VAT back though off that figure so I guess I've actually spent approx £93,000 ($159,000) for a studio worth £123,000 ($210,000)
I sometimes wonder if it's been worth the unbelievable sacrifices i've made over the years. Hell yeah when I see the faces of clients when they are hearing the final mix down, worth every penny. This time next year it will all be done and I can have my life back for the first time in over a decade and a half

I'd have to say we've spent (my best friend and I) about $1400.
