Here is all of the gear I currently use for performing, recording, and streaming as of September 2025. I am definitely not a gear head; I bought most of this stuff second-hand. I’ve included links where I could, but you’ll find many of the items on this list are outdated or discontinued. Never fear! We are living in the golden age of home studio technology. There is a wealth of information and affordable options out there. With a bit time on Google, you’ll find solutions that work for your goals and budget. I have no affiliations with any of the brands below. KM
