🎧 my go-to studio headphones
Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250 Professional Acoustically Open Headphones
When I’m recording piano tutorials or working in my studio, I rely on the beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro (250 Ohm) headphones. These professional open-back headphones offer a beautifully clear and detailed sound, which helps me hear every nuance — from the softest pianissimo to the most powerful chords. They’re comfortable to wear for long sessions and give a natural, spacious sound that’s ideal for mixing, monitoring, and enjoying music with real depth. If you’re looking for a serious upgrade in how you hear your playing, these are the headphones I personally use and trust.
🎛️ the audio interface I rely on for recording tutorials
Presonus Studio 1824c Audio Interface
To capture clean, high-quality sound in all my tutorials, I use the PreSonus Studio 1824c. It’s a professional-grade 18x20 USB audio interface that gives me plenty of inputs and outputs for recording piano, voice, and virtual instruments. With support for 192 kHz audio, ultra-low latency, and reliable preamps, it’s perfect for both home studios and more advanced setups. It also comes bundled with Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite, making it a great choice for anyone getting into music production.
💻 the macbook pro i use to create my tutorials
Macbook Pro 14.2' with the M4 pro Chip
I use the Apple MacBook Pro 14.2" (Late 2024) with the M4 Pro chip for all my piano tutorial work. This model includes a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB of memory, 1TB SSD. It handles recording, editing, and running music software like Logic Pro and virtual instruments efficiently. If you're looking for a reliable laptop for creative work, this is the one I personally use every day.
