What I work with.
Gear, software, and tools I use daily - for music and digital work. Updated when something changes.
In the studio
Logic Pro
Main DAW. Production, recording, mixing, mastering — everything starts and ends here.
Arcade by Output
Sample engine. Fast, musical, and stays out of the way when you need to focus.
Native Instruments
Battery, Massive, Kontakt. The instruments that show up on almost every session.
Keyscape
Spectrasonics. The best keyboard plugin available. Used on almost everything.
FabFilter
Pro-Q, Pro-C, Pro-L. Surgical and transparent. The standard for a reason.
Waves
SSL, API, CLA series. The color and glue across the mixing chain.
Acustica Audio
Hardware emulations done right. Heavy on CPU. Worth every cycle.
The setup
MacBook Pro M2 Pro
16GB RAM, 500GB. Handles full sessions without noise or heat. The switch from Intel was significant.
Audient iD14 MkII
Main audio interface. Clean preamps, reliable drivers — it just works.
Monkey Banana Gibbon 5
Studio monitors. Honest low-mids, good imaging. Mixes translate well out of the room.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
250ohm. Closed-back, detailed. Used for tracking and late-night sessions.
Audio-Technica AT2020
Condenser microphone. Not the most expensive option — intentionally. At home I don't need more.
Arturia MiniLab MkII
MIDI controller. Compact, enough keys for sketching ideas fast.
Everything else
DaVinci Resolve
Video editing. Professional-grade and free. Used for visual content and production videos.
VS Code
Main code editor. Extensions kept minimal — the less clutter, the better.
Comet
Primary browser. AI-native from the ground up.
Claude
Used for refining concepts I built myself. The ideas are human — the polish is collaborative.
