Andrew Huang's Gear
"My desk is also from Ikea and it's nice because I can use it sitting or standing."
Huang proceeds to demonstrate how to increase the desk height, using a button system at the desk's left. Of the two white Bekant sit/stand desks, the left-oriented button system is exclusive to the 63x31 1/2 " version.
In this hefty blog post, Andrew discusses his essentials for the home studio. The first item on the list is the SM7B. Andrew says, "I bought this mic before going abroad because a friend of mine was raving about it - in particular, how it was better than anything else at picking up what was in front of it without a lot of ambience from the room. It has since become my favorite mic for vocals and acoustic guitar. The sound is clean and sweet, as long as you have a good preamp..."
In the video "Malbec | Andrew Huang" on his YouTube channel, Andrew Huang uses the Akai Professional MPK49 USB MIDI Keyboard. This keyboard also appears in many of his earlier videos, including "DOUBLE ON GENRE: LATIN + RAP."
"Solid multi-purpose microphones I've used: Shure SM7B https://reverb.grsm.io/shure-sm7b Audio Technica AT4040 https://amzn.to/2ok3dNw Audio Technica AT2020 https://amzn.to/2wpB37o Rode NT1 https://amzn.to/2PIeWC9"
Second on the list of Andrew's essentials for the home studio, written out on the linked blog post. On the Apollo, Andrew says, "The Twin is everything I need in an interface right now - great sounding preamps with lots of clean gain, and it powers the UAD plug-ins that I use on literally every project. They've got my favorite vocal compressor (the Teletronix LA-2A), an awesome selection of reverbs, and I've used the Precision Mastering Series to put the final touches on everything I've produced for the last decade."

Seen up close in this October 26, 2020 video at 7:20.
Featured in this October 8, 2020 video at 10:10. It is explained that it was used on “You”.
As mentioned in this old Tape Op interview, Andrew Huang has used an AT4040 as his "weapon of choice" in the past. It's visible in many of his older videos, too.
In the video, Huang explains that he uses the Aumeo device to help him hear sounds more fully.

Seen at 9:02, Huang is confused by the Keeley Dyno-My-Roto because of how many functions the pedal actually has

7th on Andrew's list of essentials for the home studio. On the OP-1, he says, "This beautifully designed all-in-one synthesizing + sampling + performing + recording device is the most inspiring little tool I've ever worked with. It provides endless sonic possibilities, but also limits you to the kind of workflow that forces you to focus on making musical choices rather than technical ones. Even when you have to do something boring like cut and paste a loop for 16 bars, the shiny graphics and satisfying push-buttons keep you excited to work."
At 3:34 Andrew literally reads out the model number of his wireless headphones!
In 1:24 in this Video you can see Andrew Huang tuning a Ibanez Talman tv650 Electric Guitar. You can see this guitar clearly at 3:12.
In his YouTube video titled "DIGITONE IS SO INTENSE," Andrew Huang showcases the Elektron Digitone, highlighting its features and his use of it in music production.
Featured in this video.
"I think one of the first things that most people notice about the OP-Z is that it doesn't have a screen. The screen on the OP-1 gives you a lot of really great visual feedback. But I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. What they've done with the lights on the OP-Z, the different colored lights, the lights that are in almost all of the buttons, they really give you a lot of good feedback about what's going on."
Shown on this video as Andrew Huang's "polyphonic digital choice [of synth]"
Seen being turned on at 4:36, Huang struggles to use the Earthquaker Devices Data Corruptor as it is a rather unruly piece of gear
Visible in this November 30, 2020 video at 6:29.
Visible in the beginning of this older video, which has a great view of his home studio at the time!
In a reply to my tweet: "just started using serum and I love it. I like the presets a lot more but so far I find massive to be more versatile"
In multiple clips throughout the video, a MicroBrute is seen on Andrew's desk.
At 2:11 in this video, the bass is clearly visible. He's also used this bass in many, many other videos.
At 0:51 Andrew can be seen jumping about with a Jazz Bass. I presume it is a Squier.
Andrew made a video explaning the features of Ableton Live 10. He can also be seen using it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOwaNtVMQsk
