Editor’s Picks

Focusrite Scarlett 18i16

18 inputs for songwriters, producers and podcasters who’ve outgrown a 2-in interface.

Taylor BT2 Baby Acoustic

Comfortable, travel-sized, and easy to play without sacrificing tone.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

The studio headphone every home producer should have on the desk.

Why we point you to mid-range gear

The most expensive option is rarely the right one for a working musician, and the cheapest one usually costs more in the long run. We focus reviews on the gear that holds up on stage and in the studio without the flagship price tag.
