The Gear I Use for Music Production & Podcasting (2026 Setup)

What’s up,

A lot of people see the finished videos, the podcast clips, the beats… but not the setup behind it.

So I wanted to break down the core gear I actually use — not what looks cool, but what I rely on every day to get work done.

This is my current music production setup for creating beats, recording podcasts, and producing content efficiently.

🎛️ Music Production Setup (Audio First)

Everything starts here.

DAWs / Software

• Reason 13 (main production environment)

• Pro Tools (recording + editing)

• Waves / Slate / iZotope (mixing + mastering)

• Riverside (podcast recording)

• Final Cut Pro (video editing)

This setup lets me go from idea → full production → finished content without switching ecosystems too much.

🎙️ Recording & Sound

Clean audio matters more than anything.

Core Gear

• Apollo Solo (interface)

• KRK Rokit G5 monitors

  
  

Simple, reliable, and I know exactly how everything translates.

🎥 Content Creation Setup

This is where things leveled up for me recently.

Cameras / Video

• DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (main podcast + content camera)

• DJI Osmo Mobile (phone stabilization)

• DJI Osmo Action 4 (secondary / action angles)

• 
  

This setup gives me flexibility without overcomplicating things.

💻 Editing & Workflow

Everything gets finished on Mac.

• Mac (Final Cut Pro for all edits)

• External SSDs for project storage

• Clean file organization (this matters more than people think)

  
  

Fast workflow = more content out consistently.

⚙️ The Real Takeaway

None of this is about having the “best” gear.

It’s about:

• Knowing your tools

• Keeping your workflow simple

• Actually finishing what you start

  
  

You could strip this setup down and still get results — the gear just removes friction.

🎧 What I’m Focused On Now

• Consistent podcast drops (Audicratic Audio)

• More long-form YouTube content

• Tightening the visual side of everything

  
  

2026 is about execution.
