I got this Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface for recording my first/next top 100 hit. OK, maybe not a hit, but dreamers dream. You can mic your guitar or plug it straight into the Scarlett along with a voice mic. It comes with free software to get you started. If you have a band, Focusrite has you covered. The 2i2 is only $149 and is easy to use with a Mac or a PC. This is how you get sound to your computer. It also works for YouTube videos and podcasts.

Wacom Intuos Pro digital graphic drawing tablet for Mac or PC, Medium, (PTH660)

Every artist loves to share his/her work on the social media to get more exposure to the outer world. This also gives them opporutnities to get work, either freelance or full time! But sometimes, their work gets distorted when scanned. This tablet will help them draw directly on the computer. Also it will give them a gamut of color choices to choose from when drawing digitally.
