    Nice summary! But since I've already got all these thinks, I noticed that you didn't mentioned a really important part (in my opinion at least) and that is a bit of room treatment. Because you can have the best monitos, but if your room is reflecting so much sound you won't be able to mix very reliable. (might even be worth a video?) Anyway thanks for helping all the producers out there!

    Hey Edward, no cap! Which microphone is better? The Samson C01 or the Audio-Technica AT2020? I'm kinda leaning on the Samson C01 because I've listened to reviews and it seems to kinda add this warm/ bass tone to the vocals. I'm a soprano and I'm fairly new to music production, so I want to get equipment that won't be too expensive but still good for my learning period.
