Arturia Minibrute 2 and Drumbrute. AKG studio headphones. Got back into music last year leaving it behind as a teenager. For having fun, they're the perfect synths.

Yamaha C40 guitar (and weekly zoom lessons from a real master musician) was best value for money nylon string guitar around.

Returning to making music during covid was a lifesaver. So glad I learned the basics as a kid.

I find Arturia's products -- hardware and software -- wonderful to use. My Drumbrute Impact is just so fun. I got "Pigments" and it is incredibly fun for crafting sounds; just a beautiful UX.

They really get it. I think their product people are as good or better than Apple. If you are a producer, I get why someone would use something with more features and options, but for someone who just wants an instrument in front of them as a way to be musical and expressive, without trying to replicate genres, I could see these becoming classics.
