Watch out in Create

• Gear Acquisition Syndrome is the tax on beginners: one DAW, one pair of headphones and stock plugins finish records.
• Never buy plugins at full price — everything goes 70% off on a cycle. And you don't need them yet.
• Subscriptions compound quietly: total yours before adding one more.
• Split sheets before sessions, even with friends — especially with friends.
• Never pay a stranger who DMs you for a 'feature' or 'collab' — that's an ad, not an opportunity.
• Free collaboration first; paid session services when the song has earned it.
