yes it is :slight_smile: I need to check out the book!



but to be honest I think for me spending that sort of money on a studio would be a sure way of ensuring that nothing gets done :stuck_out_tongue:

I kind of like working on a laptop and the fact that you can make a track on the beach or something.

Limitations are good and so far I’ve found that throwing money at gear/software for me serves only as a distraction and a excuse for not learning and putting the hours in.


30

to be fair i didn’t think many of you guys would have a problem with the £50k, i guess its only the gear sluts that can’t.





what about if we cut it down to a reasonable £10k would you struggle.
