Get mic‘d up!
Get the right sound from the get go
This mic is so reliable and can keep up with high-end studio mics, all this at a very affordable price!
NT1-A | Studio Condenser Microphone
Now this is a beast of an interface. I have only had great experiences using this. It‘s lightweight, super easy to operate, and delivers great phantom power for the mics that need it!
Scarlett 2i2 [3rd Gen]
THIS mic is great for live performing but also for home recordings! That‘s right. Depending on which vocal sound you aim for, the SM58 might be your best buddy. On stage, it definitely is. And so affordable. Also very durable. I dropped it a bunch of...
SM58® - Vocal Microphone
Well, if you get a mic, you definitely need at least one of those! I like to keep a few of those with my equipment. I have a short one for home recordings and a few longer ones for band practice and performances.
Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Mic Cable
Now, I always like to get everything I need altogether if I can save doing so. And you can probably save some real money picking the bundle as opposed to buying everything separately, most of the time. So for the Rode mic this is what I got.
Rode NT1-A Compl. Micscreen Bundle
Depending on where you position your mic, you should make sure you always got a mic stand. I prefer free standing mic stands but it really depends.

Nothing better than a good sound before editing
The sound of this Kawai is amazing! The keys are very playable and it has so many cool settings. Great for recording entire piano sections or chords to use in your DAW.

Now, if you‘re like me you always want everything to sound in tune. The best way to guarantee that all guitars on the project sound the best they can is to have one of these guys handy.
Snark Tuners
GREAT headphones for recording and editing (if you‘re also doing your own mixing and mastering) 🎧

Are you ready to be in the limelight?
Getting a ring light is one of the best things you can do if you plan on recording videos of you making music. They‘re ultra flattering and you don‘t have to do all the searching for the right lighting
Ring Light
I find phone tripods like these to be the best for on the road as you can angle them any and every way you want. Be it on the floor for a cool angle or wrapped around a banister 📱
Iphone Tripod
SUCH a good tripod for any kind of video shoot. Its height is adjustable and it has a bubble so you know when it‘s levelled up.

Mixing and Mastering
In case you mix and master your own music, it‘s always a good idea to have one of those bad guys around. Because nowadays not everyone will have a surround system all set up at home. Many folks listen through these so you better make sure, your mixes...
