Three synths for sustained chords
Compare Roland GAIA 2, Yamaha MODX M6 and Korg multi/poly for lingering chords, layered instruments and moving textures.
Bazille, Diva or Hive 2 for metallic percussion?
Choose a synth for bells and clanks by how you want to shape the hit: cable patching, ring modulation or resonant processing.
Scarlett Solo, 2i2 or Clarett+ 2Pre?
For voice and guitar, the deciding detail is whether the guitar plugs in or needs a second microphone.
Hive 2, Repro-1 or Bazille for sequencing?
Three synths with different ways to keep a repeating pattern inside the patch.
ATH-M40x, HD 280 Pro or HD 490 PRO?
Choose closed backs for recording near a live microphone, or open backs for editing in a quiet room.
Diva, Repro-5 or Hive 2 for chord stabs?
Choose by the part of a short chord you want to shape: circuit models, a focused vintage voice or moving wavetables.
