The question I am asking is that why are home/pro studios so full of 
gear,is their a need for it.


Well...honestly...nowadays you can pretty much do everything with a 
good Audio PC and software like Reaktor, Reason, Fruity Loops, or you 
can do pretty much a lot with a DX200/AN200/SU200...but those 
combinations might not work for everyone. So what people have at home 
studios are mostly what they need, what they like to produce in a for 
them comforting way. I e.g. don´t like software sequencer, that´s why 
i am mainly working with the RS7000. HD Recording i´ll do at the 
moment with CoolEdit (will upgrade to WaveLab Light and Ableton 
Live). 

Also once you started to buy gear...you wind up getting G.A.S....Gear 
Acquire Syndrome...

Some people really go to the extreme with that...
