Home Music Studio Equipment - Essentials for Beginners

Home Music Studio Equipment - Essentials for Beginners

UPDATE ✨
Hey Friends- This video is a couple years old at this point. I'm working on an updated 2.0 version, but in the mean time I've updated the product links with some additional gear options for you to consider.

Looking back on the years I spent buying and trying different pieces of recording equipment, I can easily identify the pieces that were integral in helping me record better sounding music at home. I literally get messages every week from aspiring musicians/producers/songwriters looking to start creating better music at home. This is a "brief" overview of the equipment essentials I think every home studio needs. Within each category, I will breakdown some of my favorite specific pieces and also touch on the equipment that I use. All equipment links are listed below.
