Although accessories aren’t essential, it is recommended for the best experience and optimized results to invest in: • MIDI Controller - this allows for communications between digital audio workstations and physical hardware. It can make your instrumental beats more controlled and precise, resulting in a better sound and simpler production. • Headphones - whether you opt for monitor headphones or studio headphones it’s important to ignore gaming or consumer headphones. You need a pair of top-quality, specialized headphones that will seek to have the least colored sounds in order for producers to mix their tracks effectively. • An audio interface - when you’re working with live instrumentation, this is needed to translate the nuance of the acoustics and transition them into a digital file.
