Audio equipment recommendations

This is not a sales site. I do not sell any products or audio equipment. I only write articles about audio production and then recommend the occasional product that might be of use to those reading the articles. However, I am a gear nerd and am always interested in whatever gear everybody is using.

There are so many manufacturers out there that all make quality audio equipment. From microphone makers to acoustic treatment specialists, everybody has a great product to promote and share. 

Some day I might make a product of some sorts for audio nerds like me and you. But until then I'll just browse the audio websites looking for the perfect deal or the next best thing. 

Microphones

neumann condenserEverybody starting out needs a good microphone to get his or hers track on "tape". Sometimes you are able to spend a fortune on a microphone, but sometimes you can only spare a hundred bucks.

Monitors

Looking for some great budget monitors? Studio monitors are a must if you want to get serious with your music productions.

What about your recommendations?

Everybody knows that nevermind how much gear you've got, you are always on the lookout for more.

So I ask you:

Is there a product that's worked great for you? 

I'm leaving the rest of this page up to you guys. Quality recommendations come straight from the consumers and users themselves. If it works wonders for you, let people know about it! We can make our own little mini page for product recommendations and thoughts.

You can also ask questions if you want. Are you looking for a specific product and want some great recommendations. Just shoot out a question and we'll get back to you!
