Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones

Good headphones for studio use. Highly recommended.

Mackie Big Knob

Is a studio command system. Really not necessary to much. But would recommend it if you multiple studio monitors and need to do more things. But overall its worth it for a professional home studio.

UAD Apollo Quad

My first audio interface. I am liking it so far and its one of the best. It has a lot of inputs and outputs and is a monster.

Favorite Controller out at the moment.

I just received this keyboard yesterday from Sweetwater brand new. I got it for many reasons. I am a NI fan and already Own the Maschine studio and plan on getting Komplete Ultimate also. Let me just say if you dont have a Maschine or dont plan on buying Komplete Ultimate dont waste your time. But in the long run its worth it but very expensive to some people. I owned the M-Audio Axiom 61 (1st Gen) and just sold it because I needed something a little more to add to the studio im building. But overall I cant wait to use this with all the sounds i`m going to purchase.

Beats Pro

Not for studio use. It has exaggerated bass. Not for studio use. But you cant if you choose. But A nice headphone overall.

Monster Jazz Guitar Cable

I never thought guitar cables really mattered when I first started off playing but now I can see why it does. This cable really made things sound my clear and likable. Nice clean & smooth sound coming through my amp now.

M-Audio AXIOM 61 Advanced 61-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller

61-key velocity-sensitive semiweighted action keyboard with assignable aftertouch 8 MIDI-assignable trigger pads 15 assignable buttons, including 6 transport buttons Compatible with free Enigma librarian/editor for storing and organizing setups Includes Ableton Live Lite 4 music production softwareso you can make music right away

Apple 27` imac

Nothing to really say. Its a imac and I use it mainly for the purpose of using Logic Pro X.

Logic Pro X

Its the DAW i`m using right now. Its loaded with a lot of stuff. Wont be working in another DAW for a while unless its necessary.

PreSonus Eureka Pro Recording Channel

Not quite an Avalon..The Presonus Eureka is a good clean preamp. The sound is calm even and not in your face. It gives you a clean, unaltered sound that works good for strings, voice and other delicate sources.

Class-A discrete transformer-coupled mic preamp Variable mic input impedance Compressor/limiter and 3-band parametric EQ Ultra-low noise and high headroom Optional 24-bit / 192K I/O card

Native Instruments Maschine Studio - Black

The Maschine studio is great. Its really pricey but worth it. It takes time to learn how to use it and can do so much stuff. The look is very expensive futuristic looking.

Features: Two hi-resolution color screens Highly-sensitive, multi-color pads Loaded with a vast 8 GB sound library Includes MASCHINE 2.0 software 24 pro-quality studio effects Dedicated edit buttons and an ultra-precise jog-wheel Full versions of MASSIVE, PRISM, SCARBEE MARK I, and SOLID BUS COMP are already on-board

If you are looking for a Native instruments product this is it. It will not be my last product by them.
