#1 Powerful Tool
Roland FA-08
My Main Keyboard – 88 Keys
I love my FA-08! With a full 88 keys, I can play anything on it that I can play on a regular piano. As a workstation, it can handle multiple parts and multiple instruments in song or part creation. My primary uses are in life music situations, as it’s easily portable, and as my main recording instrument where its MIDI capabilities shine.
#2 Powerful Tool
Rode NT1-A Microphone
My Workhorse LCD Mic
As you can tell from the pic, the Rode NT1-A stays on a stand nearby (usually with a dust cover). It’s my go-to anytime I need a quick mic. It was also my first large condenser microphone. I also love that it came with a shock-mount, a pop filter, and a mic cable. As I said it’s a workhorse and I love it. Apparently, there is a newer model available, but the price and accessories are still incredibly reasonable.
