Pick parts and the engine checks every pairing live — sockets, mounts, quick-releases, clearances — from sourced specs. Verified conflicts block; missing data says "couldn't verify" instead of guessing. Start from a preset, take the quiz, or build from scratch, then save to get a share link.

DAWs*(core slot, required)Choosing a DAW is less about feature checklists and more about workflow fit, because almost every modern option records audio and MIDI competently.
Audio Interfaces*(core slot, required)An audio interface is judged mainly on input/output count, the kind of inputs it offers, and how it connects to your computer.
— empty —
Microphones*(core slot, required)Microphone choice starts with the polar pattern and capsule type that fit the source, then the connection and whether it needs phantom power.
— empty —
Studio Monitors*(core slot, required)Studio monitors are chosen to match the room before anything else, which is why woofer size is the headline spec here.
— empty —
Headphones*(core slot, required)Studio headphones divide by job and by impedance, and getting both right is the whole decision.
