Excellent video!
I have another topic going for discussion and advice for VST/AU/etc plugins that fits in nicely with this. There’s a lot of good free ones and if you are smart with buying you can end up with a vast number of great ones for less than you think.
The vast majority of music software is in plugins you load in your DAW.
He gives a lot of good advice in there. Agree completely about the headphones - I haven’t owned a bass amp at all for over a year.
The M-Audio MIDI controller he suggest is good, but if you plan to do much playing of keyboards I would suggest maybe spending slightly more and getting a 49-key with full size keys, if you have the space. Mini keys drive me crazy and having more than two octaves will keep you from needing to shift all the time. M-Audio and Alesis make good and inexpensive ones with full keys.
I disagree with him about the microphone. You should just get a Shure SM-58 or PGA-58 right away. They are not really very expensive ($90/45 or so respectively) and you’ll regret it if you don’t just go with one or the equivalent Sennheisers from the start. I skimped on the mike at first and instantly regretted and returned it. I think the PGA-58 is fine and it costs about half what a SM-58 does.
