Kool23 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I am constantly on the road (by choice) and when i find a place, perfer to rent a place and chill out to experience the cultures. Im in the mode to hang out in Portugal for a bit and I would like to hear suggestions on best gear to fit in a solid bag to travel with eg: interface, mic, laptop, cables, midi synth, type of bag etc. what do you carry with you?

fisherking Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 so many variables, and not all of us have the same needs. i used to travel a lot, and had a top-line 13" macbook pro. power is a good thing, but depends on what you're doing. simple tracks and a vocal? complex tracks and 100 vocals? if it's simple, the airs are nice. always get the most power you can (ideally an i7 or the i9), 16gb ram, storage space. i used crashplan (online backup), so i didn't need an external backup drive with me (i use idrive now, same idea). the new akai mpk mini mk3 is pretty great, but if you're a true keyboard player, check out the cme xkeys (there's a 25key and a 37key model). get good headphones! or some small monitors (like the ikmultimedia ilouds). a focusrite (or similar) interface... i never recorded audio when i travelled, just making tracks & mixing, so i had a pair of sennheiser hd650s and the apogee groove (an interface for playback only), the 25-key xkey, and not much more. a lot depends on how you travel, how much you can (or want to) carry. i like to keep things simple, for me, that worked. have fun!
