Aspiring producers and veteran musicians no longer need to invest thousands of dollars in heavy studio hardware or complex software licenses just to lay down a groove. Instead, the modern production landscape offers incredibly powerful web-based and desktop platforms designed to turn ideas into polished instrumentals within minutes. While traditional DAWs require steep learning curves and hours of configuration, today’s best tools focus on immediate creativity.

Along with our partners at Sennheiser, we recently hooked up 10 dynamic artists from across the U.S. with brand-new Sennheiser e 835 microphones and HD 200 PRO headphones. Each act then filmed an EXCLUSIVE live performance using the gear to showcase one of their original songs.

Hitting the road this summer and not sure how to get started with an in-ear monitor solution? In addition to their renowned custom-molded in-ear monitors, Ultimate Ears is now offering a new lineup of killer, more affordable universal fit in-ears that don’t require custom molds or ear scans, and can fit (no pun intended) just about any touring artist’s budget.
