What equipment do you use?
My studios in my bedroom, so everything I own has to pull its weight. Im not into collecting shiny toys I barely use I buy gear when Ive earned it, and when I know itll actually level up my sound. I started with a budget interface and a hand-me-down MIDI keyboard, but over time I upgraded piece by piece. I like knowing my setup isnt the fanciest, but Ive made tracks people thought were recorded in a high-end studio. Its proof that its not about the gear its about how you use it.
