What should you buy first?
Five questions, one starter setup. We'll route you to the gear that matches your budget, OS, and what you actually want to make — and we'll tell you what to skip.
Question 1
What's your budget for the whole setup?
Including interface, mic, headphones, and any monitors. Pick the closest range.
Question 2
Mac or Windows?
This affects which DAW we'll suggest you start with.
Question 3
What do you mostly want to make?
If it's a mix, pick the one you'll spend the most time on.
Question 4
Where will you be working?
Be honest — your room shapes whether monitors are even worth it.
Question 5
What do you already own?
Tick anything you've already got — we'll skip recommending those (or note an upgrade path).
