The list author says: "I am obsessed with music! It runs my mind, body, and soul. Music is everything to me and if I were to go deaf, I would seriously consider suicide. Or a good hearing aid. Anyway, I decided I wanted to create my own music since so much music today sucks. Here are the products I bought on a very limited budget. I find these products to be excellent for the price and would recommend them to anyone interested in home recording. Don't ever let anyone tell you its not possible to chase your dream of creating music. I record vocals in my closet! My bedroom is my office and studio. So don't let ANYTHING hold you back."
"I bought the cheapest possible option for Sony Acid Pro and I am not disappointed. I have over the years spent the money I saved (by not buying full price) on extra loops available through the Sony Acid website."
"It's a Yamaha keyboard at a reasonable price. Need I say more? Yamaha is known for their excellent music products and this keyboard is no different. I have found tons of uses for this piece of equipment and I am very grateful that I didn't shell out $300+ on a keyboard. The DGX does the SAME stuff some of the $500+ models do and is easy to hook up to your computer."
"I bought this mic several months ago after doing a lot of research. The mic arrived and the first thing I noticed was how professional the mic looked and felt. The mic is very well built. It was extremely easy to hook up via USB to my laptop. After dozens of vocal recordings later, I am still impressed with the recording quality at such a low price! And I record in my closet!"
"Cheap bench that holds my Yamaha at the perfect level when I am working at my desktop computer. When my keyboard is not in use, I find the stylish black stool is a favorite extra seat among visiting friends."
"The first few weeks I had my Samson mic and shock mount, I had it set up on an old dresser in my closet. It worked wonders as the mic NEVER vibrated no matter how many times I entered and exited my closet."
"I got these as a gift from my Dad. I use these because the quality is so high that I can hear minor imperfection in my recordings. These are my bench mark headphones."
