Tools I use

Hardware

Dell UltraSharp U2715H: My day-to-day monitor for work. It’s definitely no retina display, but it does the trick.
14” Macbook Pro M1 (2021): Such a great machine, and quiet too!
Apple Magic Keyboard
iPhone 14 Pro
Kensington SlimBlade Pro Trackball: This is a recent addition! I have a long history of using a pen tablet, Wacom’s dwindling quality over time and some other gripes I have made me look at trackballs for a change. I think I like it!
USB3 Switch: for switching most of my peripherals between my laptop and desktop PC
A gaming PC. Nothing top of the line
Synology DS218j: Our Network Storage for backups, archival and the storage of my Sound Libraries. Select folders are backed up to Backblaze B2 for safety
Cameras: Fujifilm X100T and an old Canon 60D with a EF17-40mm f/4L lens (not really used much at the moment)

Bose QuietComfort 35 S2: These have lasted me surprisingly long. I use them for meetings, when playing music in private, or while travelling.
Sony MDR-7506: These studio headphones I use for most of my Sound Design and music work because they are quite neutral. They are very common amongst audio people.
Steinberg UR44c: My Audio Interface. I got the 4-port version because I wanted to be able to plug in a microphone and a stereo guitar setup (for ambient music) at the same time.
Yamaha HS0M: My speakers for audio Work. I think I’ve owned these for more than 10 years now!
Arturia Minilab 3: My MIDI controller

Visual Studio Code with the Noctis Viola theme and Jetbrains Mono as the font
Obsidian as a 2nd brain, note taking, productivity system, and writing
GitUp: I typically use git through the command line or the VS Code integration, but sometimes a responsive and user-friendly UX is nicer
1Password
iTerm
Firefox Developer Edition
Readwise

Darkroom
Reaper: My DAW of choice
Home Assistant
Spotify: I don’t like it, but because of the Cluster Player I’m still quite tied to their API. Working on it…
