Are you a songwriter? Musician? Making demos all day? Hello! Here is what I use to record in my home studio- both for music and voice over. It doesn't take a million dollars to create a good sounding recording set up! Most of these are affiliate link...
I just updated my mic rig to include the Neumann TLM 102. I am loving it so far. Smooth for vocals, and great dynamics for low and mid tones. I hear it's great for guitar too (have to try that soon!)
Neumann TLM 102
This is a great go-to microphone, and the one I use for live shows.
Shure SM58-LC
This is one of my in-studio microphones that I love. It sounds excellent for vocals and voice over recordings.
These are an easy pair for portable recording with no cords!
Bose Bluetooth Headphones
One of my fav headphones for listening to music and podcasts, and great for recording.
Sennheiser HD 202 II
I just upgraded to this interface from a Duet and it's amazing. Can't recommend enough.
Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mkii Duo
You want to hear your demos back loud and clear, right? I love these speakers. They are bright, but not too treble heavy, and are small enough to fit in my tiny studio.
Rokit 5 Studio Monitor
This is such a rad pedal. Gives warm organ tones and textures, really adds some interest for paddy guitar tones.
EarthQuaker Devices Guitar Pedal
This is the external pick I I used for live and recording for the first five years! Great little piece of equipment.
Seymour Duncan Woody HC Hum-Canceling Pickup
I'm trying out this keyboard to see if I enjoy using a slightly smaller keyboard in my set up. I like that there's some drum pads on this, and modulator s for pitch etc. So far, so good, while working in Logic.

Basic XLR cables that will get the job done!
XLR Cables 6 feet
This is the first interface I bought, and used for a few years. It's a great portable interface that you can take with you when you're out of the studio, and also solid for in-studio use. I recorded through this for songs that have even ended up on t...
Apogee Duet 2-2 Channel USB Audio Interface
These are great amps if you need something small and portable that also sounds good. We used them a lot at Girls Rock Camp Toronto, and I was impressed.
This is a new addition to the home studio, and boy what FUN! It's a mesh top kit that gives a good stick feel, and it's not super complicated. It's an entry level e-kit, which is great as I'm no pro drummer (yet). I dig the built in sounds, but we al...
Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit
I love this little keyboard! It's great for laying down midi tracks and playing a variety of instruments in Logic/Garageband. Highly recommend!
M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 MK3
This is great if you like to record field sounds, like I do, or if you want to record out of the house. Super light, battery operated and sounds really good. I was actually blown away at how good it sounds for out of the house stuff.

These are a little older, but they still work very well. One of my favourite over the ear headphones I've ever used.
Sennheiser Hd-280 Pro
I love my Air. I miss my Macbook a little sometimes for video, but my Air does the trick running my software programs for recording.
