I run a lot of server based applications and utilities on this machine. It is also my podcast machine and recording studio device as it has my audio interface and microphone permanently plugged in. I use it for basic calendar and note taking while working with students. This machine lives in my percussion studio.

I use a lot of the same software on my Mac that I do on my iPad, with the exception of Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Dorico which I only work with on the Mac. My model still has the old keyboard but it is still serving me well after many years.

Now that Apple has fixed the keyboards on their MacBook Pro line, I can finally recommend it again. iPadOS has most of the same apps I use on the Mac with syncing data, so I can take it from classroom to classroom and rarely think about whether or not my latest work will be in front of me.

AKG P420 Condenser MicrophoneĢ00 dollars isn’t that much more than what you pay for a Blue Snowball or similar podcasting mic. If you need even less channels, I recommend the cheaper, and equally reliable, Scarlet Solo Studio. The number of inputs it has is enough for most of my needs. This thing is reasonably priced and rock-solid reliable. Read this blog post to see an overview of everything on my desk: What’s On My Desk? Studio Gear Focusrite Scarlet 6i6 Audio Interfaceīuy here. In an effort to more easily tell people about the hardware and apps I use, I have consolidated them here.
