A: Reliable drivers, needed I/O, clean preamps, low-latency performance.
A: A versatile dynamic or LDC covers most sources before specialty mics.
A: Lower buffer, use direct monitoring, freeze tracks, update drivers.
A: 44.1/48 kHz is enough for most; prioritize room, mics, and performance.
A: Check gain staging, cables, ground loops, and mic distance/room noise.
A: Both—headphones for detail checks, monitors for translation and imaging.
A: One with a clear panel, solid presets, and simple routing to learn.
A: Start with first reflections and bass traps; measure, then add more.
A: For recall and cost, yes—hardware still wins for tactile workflow and vibe.
A: Around 75–80 dB SPL short-term; monitor quieter for balance checks.
