Classic Guitar But Not Player-Friendly

My 1966 Gibson LG-0 is something of a family heirloom, and I learned how to play on it. I love the guitar for sentimental reasons, but it's not an ideal acoustic. It has a high action, making it difficult to play, and the all-mahogany build gives it a lot of volume but not necessarily the rich balanced tone of an iconic spruce top.

Exceptional Integration With Komplete 14; Keys Leave Something to Be Desired

The Kontrol S61 has unparalleled integration with NI software, but I wish the keys felt like a proper piano.

Great Workflow

FL was the first DAW I ever worked with, but I transitioned to Logic awhile ago and just started using FL again. The workflow can't be beat, and it's incredibly intuitive once you get past the initial learning curve that comes with any new software.

Best Monitoring Headphones

After using a set of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones as my primary studio monitoring headphones for several years, I was in the market for a second set of headphones and picked these up after doing some research. They're incredibly accurate (and comfortable), and the price is super reasonable. If you're looking for new studio headphones, look no further.

Must-Have Reverb Plugin

Just buy it already. This plugin should be in everyone's toolbox, and it doesn't break the bank.

Great Analog Sound

Growing up on software, this is my first hardware synth. The layout is extremely approachable, and the controls are so much fun. Its capabilities are also vast for a relatively basic subtractive synthesizer. Definitely recommend snagging one if you can find one for a fair price.
