Episode 4: Building a Home Studio – What You Really Need
This one’s for anyone asking the #1 question I get: “What do I need to start a home studio?” In this episode, I break it all down—from the absolute basics to the high-end gear. We talk computers, interfaces, software, mics (from budget to baller), cables, stands, and everything in between.
I run through popular brands and setups—Pro Tools, Ableton, Shure, Neumann, Telefunken, Apple vs. PC—and explain what matters most when you're just getting started. I also talk about the learning curve that comes with recording at home and how to approach it without feeling overwhelmed.
It all comes down to this:
💡 Put in the effort, and your wallet won’t suffer.
💸 Skip the effort, and your setup’s gonna cost you.
Whether you're dreaming of a bedroom rig or a full-blown production room, this episode is your honest blueprint to getting started without getting lost.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
