I've done it a handful of times but I've never formed a habit and even now I don't do it at all really. It's too expensive and I'd rather smoke weed anyways, which I can't because of probation lol. So if I do anything I drink occasionally, usually the weekends.
I know but that was without studio equipment. I'm literally recording my vocals with a rockband usb mic. Mic has no punch or clarity whatsoever, but it beats having nothing. I had a studio at one point and I know people with studios it's just a matter of getting in them.
Also realized I need to vary my flows and throw a lot more variety in there. Wait til I drop some new songs. But I'm sorta in a writing spell right now. My freestyles are better than my written stuff now. I can write one punchline and writers block hits me. I just need an inspiration.
