HI! Just to mention that it's a RODE NT 1-A and NOT a Shure NT 1-A. And thanks @OliverWhispersASMR to mention it!

AT2020 is a great microphone! Amazing what you can do with such a cheap mic. Great build quality and sound. That's a no brainer for a person who's starting in music production.

This is great. I would actually suggest 16gb of RAM IF you can afford it. My Mac Mini runs out of RAM if I have a decent sized project. 12+ tracks with a few virtual instruments, plugins/fx for each track, it all adds up. Also, editing 4k videos will also fill RAM up pretty quickly.

Hey Jorge! Nice video - thanks! May I ask what are these monitor stands for your speakers? They look great.

[makebeats-yo]

for starting out the best studio monitors are the Pre sonus eris 3.5

What's the brand name of the stand, that your laptop's sitting on?
