Yeah I've dabbled a very small amount with some stuff and would quite like to go further with it now I've actually got something I want to record and release into the world. Our drummer has done some in studio recording for his solo project and I think he's said he's a bit disappointed by the outcome in the end because the tech swayed him on some stuff that he would have rather done another way.
The DIY route can definitely work, all the early releases with my old band were self recorded in practice rooms, the caveat is, you do need a bit of gear and quite a bit of know-how. Some things are easier (guitars, vocals) than others (drums) but it can be great fun and push you creatively 👍
