If you make music on a computer, your DAW - or Digital Audio Workstation, to give it its full name - is the most important tool in your creative arsenal. Yes, you’ll likely have a MIDI keyboard, audio interface, set of studio monitor speakers and possibly a microphone or two in your home recording setup as well, but your music production software sits at the centre of everything.

To help you find the DAW that is right for you, here is a sortable & filterable guide to a growing list of options.

This is my ranked list of the bass guitars that I've either owned, or played and reviewed, on my Youtube channel…

You don't need a $5000 guitair make great sounding music, here are 15 cheap alternatives

So, I decided to put together a list of guitar strings. I went ahead and bought every pack I could get my hands on, ranging from plain strings to round cores to coated strings – you name it. My aim with this list is to test these strings blindly in a head-to-head tournament. To make the comparison easier, I'm conducting these tests on two identical guitars that have been set up the same way and sound identical. Well, they did need some work initially, but now, all the differences you hear are purely from the strings themselves.

To reduce the initial brightness that many strings tend to have, I opened the packs two weeks before recording this list, letting them react with the air. I can't say for sure how much this affects the strings, but it certainly can't hurt. Judging by my research, it seems that most of you aren't using fresh strings either, so this should be interesting.

Creating a list like this can either be a bit awkward or a whole lot of fun, and I'm leaning towards the latter.

Combined list, with a bunch of my additions.

Boosting the strength of an analogue audio signal is the only aspect these pedals have in common. They vary in types of colour (or tone) they impart on the signal, their price, form and power specifications. Many guitarists use boost pedals to raise the volume of their amplifiers, to pronounce certain sections in songs, bring them forward in a mix and pushing their favourite valve amps into breaking up earlier.

A keyboard, specifically in the context of a musical instrument, refers to a type of instrument that produces sound by striking strings or generating electronic tones when keys are pressed. The term "keyboard" is often used interchangeably with "piano" because the piano is one of the most well-known and widely played keyboard instruments.

In this list, we're going to explore the world of beginner keyboards and help you find the perfect one for your needs. We'll be diving into a review and comparison of keyboards from well-known brands like Yamaha, Roland, Casio, and Dexibell. So, let's jump right in and discover what you should consider when picking your very first keyboard.

Glad tidings tone seekers! If you’re new to the channel, don’t worry, maybe it will make sense in time. If you’re not new then you will know that Dan and I love amps every bit as much as we love guitars. In fact we did a show a few weeks back covering every guitar in our possession as of July 2020. Cue a cacophony of calls to document our amps, to which we respond:

“Yay! But verily we cannot do them all, for we are old and they are heavy and a PITA to cram into a single filming session.”

Please note, these are OUR 10 fave amps that we have in our possession today, not the 10 Best Amps In The World Ever. That would be a different list!

Guitar amplifiers can come in various forms, including combo amps (where the amplifier and speaker are housed in the same unit) and amp heads with separate speaker cabinets. Amplifiers can have different wattages, which affect their overall volume and the type of tones they can produce when overdriven. Additionally, many amplifiers offer various sound-shaping options, effects, and features that allow guitarists to tailor their tone to their preferences.

Amplifiers play a crucial role in a guitarist's setup, as they not only amplify the sound but also contribute significantly to the overall tone and character of the guitar's sound.

Before we dive in, I want to express my opinion that there's no definitive "best" amp. As the saying goes, one person's preference might not be the same for another. However, I do believe that there's never been a better time to be a beginner looking for a guitar amp. There's an abundance of fantastic options to choose from. Hopefully, this list will give you a taste of the incredible amps available at Sweetwater that are perfect for beginners like you.

Music artist and sound designer BLAUSTEIN uses different modern and also vintage hard- and software based synthesizers, analog and modular in his new music studio. His musical focus is on electro pop and dance, soundtracks, but also hard-hitting rhythms, mostly sounding very electronic. He also tries to incorporate witty melodies and alienated human voices as well as synthesized voices into his songs.

These are not the cheapest guitars on the market, but there is plenty of evidence to show that buying a slightly more expensive (but still reasonably affordable) guitar pays off in both sound quality and likelihood of wanting to pick up your guitar and play. And wanting to play the guitar is an important part of pushing through that initial learning curve. These guitars are nearer to the cheap end of the market, but the step up in quality for entry level guitars if huge.  Most beginners will be very hard to distinguish from much higher priced models, and will be able play these for years without feeling like they have to upgrade.
