This has already been stated, but I'll add to it.

If you don't already have a clientele and bu$ine$$ to support the need for a studio, it will most likely fail. I wouldn't recommend buying any gear you can't pay for outright, or at least with some (not all) of the profit from your next gig.

Actually, make that your LAST gig, as you may get stiffed on the next on and can't count on the payment until it's safely in the bank.

If you want to produce records, just bring the work to an already established (and probably hurting) studio. You can always get a cut rate from studios, since you're bringing in the client. If you are making electronic music, just buy Logic Audio and a coffee maker and have at it in your bedroom.
