I can be real with you for the moment..? I want to let you know that you actually can have an equipped studio and save money by using these alternative ways to find studio equipment. First you’ll need to have an idea set in place for what type of equipment you’ll need for to start recording your gems.

OK with that being said, Lets jump into the top 4 places that you can find some good equipment to get that studio built up, and have you on your way to making your dreams a reality.
1. Pawn Shops
Now I know some you have never considered looking in pawn shops and that’s why its on the list in the first place. Now when it comes to Mics, Monitors, Mic stands, and even the cords to hook it all up with, pawn shops have it hands down. Useful items like pop filters to place in front of your mics can be found in your neighborhood pawn shops. Just take the time to browse through…
One benefit of checking for studio equipment in pawn shops is that other musicians have given up or have been hard up for cash and have left their treasures for the taking. Some musicians have also upgraded to more equipment and traded for product in the store.
Another Benefit of pawn shops is that you can negotiate on pricing of what you want to take home. If you have equipment already that doesn’t fit the style of the way you do things, bring it with you. Who knows a trade of your equipment for more equipment can be talked over. Try it out.
