The Six Figure Home Studio’s Guide To Gear (For Recovering Gear Addicts)

Deviating from the norm, Chris and Brian do away with the Gear Addict Alert and devote an entire episode to gear. They discuss the obvious interfaces and microphones, but also tools to make productivity while traveling easier, desks, and more.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • What imposter syndrome is, and why it will hurt you

  • Why you should only purchase gear that you will use almost every day
  • Why you should seek out gear that makes you work faster

Quotes

“All the gear that we like is a force multiplier. It’s something that affects you either all day, or it makes you more effective all day. That’s gear worth investing in.” – Chris Graham

“The entire episode, we really didn’t mention specific gear very often. In most cases, the specifics don’t matter. The difference between an RE20 and an SM7B is based on your taste. We can’t be the ones to tell you which one to choose.” – Brian Hood
