I won't include pictures because I'm lazy. But I'll make a short list. some are 300 dollars. Some are 4,000.

I think that covers the basics. I won't even start on plugins and software. Or mic cables and stands. Or patch cables. Or furniture. Or studio monitors. Or a proper building with proper rooms. Or a headphone system. Or headphones. Or power conditioners. Or racks. Or a control surface. Or anything else I may have forgotten about. Happy shopping. I hope you get that I'm kidding. If anyone buys me any of this stuff, you are crazy.
