Does it really matter? It all comes down to the music they create. Theres this guy that i know has a full built studio..but yet his music still sound crappy. So..yeah..you can still make good sounding music with just only 3 pieces of equipment...and sound better than anything that was made with tons of hardware and special toys and such.

High paying jobs and expensive hobbies go well together. Or maybe they don't have high paying jobs and have spent the last 10 years slowly collecting their equipment. No one buys a studio in one go unless they are famous musicians with a steady income or millionaires. Most people buy maybe 3-4 items every year, and after 10 years that's a lot of stuff...

Here is an old shot of my budget studio, right now pretty much everything is boxed and up for sale because I'm moving out. In the new place I will be buying MOTU 828mkII, HR824, Virus C, Kawai K5000s, AKG 3000B, a preamp and etc as the money comes.

Well it's not like people bought all that stuff in 1 go or brand new. Most studios have taken years and years to build and hunting down stuff from auctions etc.

Some people gamble their money, some people drink, some buy musical gear. You just have to set your priorities straight.

Wow, I LOVE that setup.. All the Synths, compressors and FX boxs right infront of you under the monitor like that.. I like the couch too. and keyboards behind you .. very nice works good for that room. You should get another LCD, you got plenty of room there.
