🎧 Roundtable: Building a Home Studio on a Budget — With Producers Behind Sabrina Carpenter, Cameron Whitcomb & Robert DeLong

Building a home studio is one of the most exciting—and stressful—parts of being a producer. From deciding whether to prioritize gear or vibe, to making a garage sound professional, every producer faces the same questions when setting up a space on a budget.

In this roundtable, Justin sits down with three producers who’ve been through it all — from bedrooms to pro setups — to share their best advice, hacks, and hard lessons:

• Ryan Marrone ( @ryanmarrone ) — producer for Sabrina Carpenter, JP Saxe

• David Schaeman ( @schaedog ) — producer for Cameron Whitcomb, Emeline

• Robert DeLong ( @robertdelong ) — electronic artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist

🎛️ We explore:

• Renting vs. owning: what matters most when picking your space

• Budget gear essentials vs. what to upgrade later

• DIY acoustic treatment that actually works

• Creating a space artists want to write in (and why snacks and bathrooms matter)

• Futureproofing your setup without wasting money

💡 Plus: Listener questions on gear regrets, noisy neighbors, and whether analog gear is worth it when you’re just starting out.
