The trend I'm noticing is 1) start small and expand as you are able, and 2) no outside investment seems to be a part of things.

Has anyone gotten a loan or investors for their studio? I know in this business, its difficult if not impossible to pay off loan amounts withint a reasonable amount of time... but say you wanted to purchase an SSL, Neve, API etc console... how would you go about finding the $100,000 minimum to purchase that? Saving a little bit over a long period of time will never add up to that amount of money unless you're prepared to wait at least 20 years or longer...
there are many studios that never bought all the gear outright. Leasing is/was common for big pieces of equipment. Probably not such a good idea in todays market but .....
