With computers in the consumer market becoming more affordable and more powerful at the same time, anyone can now utilize the same recording software programs that professional engineers use in top studios across the country, right out of their own home. Recording at home has knocked down the financial barriers that once kept independent artists from being able to freely record and release material. Not only can you produce radio-ready music, but you can now own the entire intellectual property rights to that recorded music- a privilege not available to major label artists, many of whom spend months recording albums only to have it "shelved" by their label because the executives didn't like it. Imagine pouring months of effort into recordings that you'll never own or be able to release; you're at the mercy of those who own you and your music.

But not independent artists. Owning your own home studio recording setup allows you to work effectively and independently without any outside influences that dampen your creativity, like hourly rates or external ownership of your recordings. And for most musicians, it's pretty difficult to put a dollar value on complete and total artistic freedom.
