hey #gameaudiodev lots of advice on what to get when you're starting out, but how about what shouldn't you get?
what's actually bad, a waste of money, not worth the hype, or not needed till later in your career?
what would be the year one worst purchases?
After your first round of purchases to get started [and I say this b/c you may have limited $ (reaper, portable recorder, etc.)], I would avoid purchasing an upgrade that you mean to replace a few years down the road, and instead spend money on something you’ll use for decades.
