I use the original version (no longer sold) — this is the updated version available now.

What I use for all recording and monitoring — clean sound, low latency, and rock solid for vocals and production
My main studio monitors — solid low end and great for everyday mixing and production.
PRODUCTION
Another compact controller I use when I want more flexibility than the Mini but still stay portable.
Great middle ground between size and functionality — easy to grab and get ideas down.
My main controller at the desk — full-size keys, MPC pads, and hands-on control for a complete workflow.
This model isn’t widely sold new anymore — you can still find it used below.
My go-to for referencing mixes and checking how tracks translate across different environments.
Helps dial in balance and make sure mixes translate everywhere.
PLUG-INS
All-in-one mastering suite I use to finish records.
Handles EQ, compression, limiting, and imaging in one place. Great for adding polish and getting mixes release-ready.
My primary EQ for surgical and dynamic control.
Tames harsh frequencies only when they appear, keeping everything balanced without over-processing.
My main tool for analog-style processing.
Combines EQ, compression, and color in one place to shape tone and add warmth.
My go-to for audio cleanup.
Removes noise, clicks, and unwanted artifacts so recordings start clean and ready for mixing.
My go-to delay for space and character.
Great for slap, echoes, and subtle movement—adds depth without cluttering the mix.
My go-to reverb for realistic space.
Adds depth and placement without washing out the mix.
VIDEO/CONTENT
My main camera for all video content — compact, reliable, and quick to set up.
Used for talking head videos and most day-to-day shooting.
Used for quick iPhone shots — simple, portable, and easy to grab.
Great for B-roll and capturing content on the fly.
