Mentioned anecdotally while recommending the LSR305 in this September 18, 2017 FAQ Mondays episode at 3:51.

What are the best budget studio monitors?

I am asked this question a lot more than other questions. Constantly, despite me answering it many times. In my opinion, the best budget studio monitors are the JBL LSR series. Those are so good sounding for so little money and they're often going on sale, like, these crazy sales. The LSR305s, like, I've seen them for like $100 apiece, so 200 bucks'll get ya into some decent sounding monitors. I mean, I was mixing Rob Scallon's earlier stuff, like when we did "Metal in Inappropriate Places" and things like that, I mixed those on LSR305s. So, and it was only later that I upgraded to 308s but, initially I was mixing a lot of his nine-string stuff, Slayo [sic] banjo song, you know, all that stuff on JBL LSR305s and they served me really well. So, I highly, highly recommend you getting a hold of some of those. (...) The Yamahas or the JBLs always went out for me over just about any other brand because they're so consistent and just so damn good sounding.

Fluff uses a sony a6400 camera for video on his livestreams

Fluff uses Loopback audio software to rout his audio for livestreams. Fluff sends his mic and guitar into his interface. From his interface, he routs that through Loopback to allow his viewers to hear his audio. From there he goes into his live stream software. In the software uses loopback as his selected input. This allows him to not have to select his audio interface as the input. If he selected the audio interface, He would have to choose a specific input on the interface to be heard. Routing through Loopback allows multiple inputs on the audio interface to be heard at once.

In this FAQ Monday video Fluff answers why his band Dragged Under uses the PreSonus 24R. The band uses this to control their in ear monitor setup. Fluff states that the main reason they switched from the Behringer x32 is, the Behringer died on them during band practice. He states that he likes the PreSonus unit more because it takes up less rack space, has more inputs, a better controlling software, and overall sounds better. He states that the Beringher software is very outdated. He claims the real reason bands still use it is because a lot of front of house engineers are so familiar with it. Fluff also notes that he knows people at PreSonus. If they needed, Fluff could easily contact them for technical support.
