RECORDING Magazine 2024 Holiday Buyers' Guide

Welcome to the 2024 edition of our annual Holiday Buyers’ Guide. Each year in our December issue, we gather a list of great gifts for the recording musician in your life—even if that musician is you.

We thought we would take a new approach to compiling our annual holiday wish list this year. Over the past year and a half, our editorial staff has reviewed an impressive 216 products on our pages, and we have whittled those down into 42 entries for your consideration divided into 7 categories: Microphones, Interfaces, Monitor Speakers, Headphones, Preamps and Processors, Software and Studio Tools.

Our price range runs from $65 to $3,500, with a vast selection in between to appeal to the broad scope of our readership, from beginner to pro, and although there were some hard choices, we limited our selection to one product per company.

In each entry, you will find a quote from the original review to help guide you in your holiday gear quest.

Happy Holidays!
