Recording setup
I have had some different recording setups over the past 20+ years I've been making digital music, but all of them were based around recording instruments into a DAW. Currently my recording studio is in a corner of my kitchen and is based around a Windows 11 computer and digital composing/recording/editing in Ableton. Previously I used Ableton on a Mac, but I wasn't interested in buying Macs anymore since they switched to Apple Silicon. I've got a Steinberg UR22 audio interface that I plug guitar or a mic into, or sometimes both. I haven't recorded acoustic guitar in like 8 years, mostly I just do electric. I don't mic any amps, I always just use amp modelling plugins like Amplitube and Guitar Rig. I also own an electric bass that I can record using the same audio interface and plugins. And I have a couple of MIDI keyboards, including an Akai MPK Mini which sits directly next to my computer chair.
It's a very sparse setup, but I like it because it mostly "stays out of my way".
