Build the Right Gear Setup
THE GEAR STARTER GUIDE
Buying gear without a plan means wasted money on pieces that don’t fit together. Our equipment guide breaks down exactly what you need — mic, interface, headphones, and everything in between — based on your actual setup, not generic “best of” lists.
We walk through the factors that actually matter before pointing you at specific gear.
Before you spend a dollar, get clear on three things:
- 1. What you’re actually recording — voice-only, music, streaming, or video
- 2. Your real budget, not your ideal one
- 3. Whether you need a portable rig or a fixed setup
