🛑 DISCLAIMER:
• I’m not a full-time producer — just a passionate hobbyist with a day job, three kids, three dogs, and zero quiet time.
• This is not sponsored. Everything you see was built with creative budgeting, monthly payments, tax refunds, and some mild familial side-eye.

🎙️ In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
• Why I ditched laptops and went iPad-first for music production
• What gear fits into a carry-on (yes, including a guitar)
• My go-to apps for mobile recording (Logic Pro, Moises, MusicPutty, Tone Stack)
• How I built my home and travel rigs to work seamlessly
• My honest, sarcastic breakdown of what it really costs to do this (spoiler: it wasn’t cheap — but it was worth it)

• 2025 M4 iPad Pro 13.7” (2TB)
