Somebody asked me how much it would cost to buy the equipment necessary to start and run a recording studio. Good question. So, ballpark,how much of an initial cash layout is some one looking at just for equipment to open a decent studio?

I am considering picking up a microkorg off ebay for home studio recording. Before I take the plunge I'd like to know if it's a worthwhile addition to exsisting equipment [for under $300.00] or should I wait and get a higher end unit? It is a hobby studio and while I do require high quality...
