I’m a guitar player and recently been thinking about pulling the trigger on some Neural DSP plugins, but outside of my laptop I’m not sure which products are a good budget friendly choice.

I need monitors, an audio interface, and maybe some headphones, I just don’t know enough about these things to know which is worth the money and which isn’t. For example, do I want passive or active monitors?

The “studio” will be a bedroom setup. The budget is about $1,200 (if I can get in under that, even better).

If I’m missing any other gear I need I’d appreciate the help.

Sorry if this is common sense for some of you, but where can someone buy pre-moded iPod classics?

I’m looking for something with the traditional case colors (or hell, maybe even atomic purple), with usb-C, better battery, more storage, etc.

If anyone can drop some links I’d really appreciate it.

I recently received my first Leuchtturm, one of their classic notebooks in A5. Before I begin writting in it I’m curious if the 80gsm paper will hold up to my pen of choice which is the Pilot Precise V7. Does anyone have any experience with this combination?

I used this pen in my previous journal (amazon special) whose paper seems slightly thicker and held the ink well without bleeding through the back.

Thanks in advance.
