Can you buy gear with the grant?
No. The grant is designed to cover the costs of the recording process. Refer back to the first question. We understand that home recording is a valuable asset to the modern musician, and we hope that this grant can support this process by providing funding for services that might not be possible in your home studio or with your skill set, such as mixing, mastering, and full-band live recording.
