A band I was in back in 1991 decided to invest in a mixing board, lights, a sound tech, a new keyboard, a Mac and a whole bunch of new equipment including buying a recording studio.

Things went great for about 8 months until everybody got discouraged cause we couldn't get gigs.

One night we blew up and got into a big argument and spent the next week deciding who owned what equipment. We sat down for 3 days doing paperwork to decide who got what.

It was pretty scary for a while until we worked it out on paper and basically walked away with what we contributed. Althought it was kinda scary for awhile cause we jointly owned a recording studio and had to decide what to do with it.

Get everything in writing and notorized by a lawyer.

I was meaning to mention, at some point i'll be paying these guys back maybe minus some labour for the recording( yes im cheap)but not much probably only 10-20 $ from each of them but it will end up as mine. Which all works out because I will then be able to record solo work.

But thanks for the advice because i was thinking about going all ways on other stuff but ill try to stay away.

P.S. I am going to the store tommorow to buy it
