This beginner guitar made by Japanese guitar brand - Ibanez - was one of my first guitars and can be heard in my earlier songs. Its a powerful sounding guitar which rivals other more expensive models. Coupled with a distortion pedal, this guitar can bring the house down. It's one of the better beginner guitars out there.
Another affordable alternative, the Fender Chamption 20 is hard to pass up when you're delving into the world of guitars. It has all the essential features, plus some neat extras including various FX settings, and it can get very loud.
My very first instrument - the Casio LK 170 - a beginner keyboard in every sense of the word. Notice the marks left on the keys; thsoe were from stickers I eventually peeled off that denoted which key was at that position. It may not sound as good as a Korg Kronos but it does the job. It's perfect for youngsters who need a keyboard which makes it a bit easier to learn how to play.
Franz is an amateur musician with a developing collection of musical instruments and accessories. He loves to make music with his friends and experiment with instruments he does not own yet.
A quality pair of headphones can step up your music making process to another level. The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros are a great sounding pair of headphones that are a joy to wear.
An essential piece of equipment in any home studio, the Focuscrite Scarlet 2i2 is an entry-level audio interface which allows you to connect instruments such as a mic to your computer.
The Rode NT1-A is a great mic that can do it all and is a great first studio mic. Its sound quality is top notch and is great for recording instruments or vocals.
A turntable isn't always the first thing you think of when it comes to making music. However, the Pro-Ject T1 has been a crucial componenet in my music making process - specifically when it comes to sampling old records. The build quality is great and the minimalistic design presents itself very well.
A midi keyboard does everything a standard keyboard does but more. You're able to connect to directly to a DAW and modify the sounds like a synthesiser. It presents so
many possibilites that it
can become an
essential piece in
anyone's home
studio.
