Danny’s Recommended Gear, Software, and Resources

Danny’s Recommended Gear, Software, and Resources

This is a list of tried, true, and trusted resources, equipment, and software for a cappella recording engineers, groups, and singers that I’ve personally benefited from. No, it’s not everything; to get a complete education, I believe you need to purchase some home study courses or paid networks (some I recommend here). The problem is they can be expensive, more than you might be able to afford early in your career.

I’m not going to make suggestions here… I’ve used every single one of these and stand fully behind them. If you are ready to get started, start here.

Getting started (in less than 1 week)

My Video Courses – No BS here… if you want to learn quickly and get started fast, there is no better place than my video courses.
