Resources for Musicians looking to start streaming/recording in their home

I do not urge anyone to spend money in these trying times, but here is a list of resources to get the recording musician started:

There are many DAWs that come with extreme capabilities for a Reasonable price. Pro Tools is considered the industry standard in many studios but can be expensive. A full out version will cost $799 USD, but you can get a year subscription for $200. Students and teachers can get it for as low as $8 a month.
