Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 1, 2026
Audio Recording School is reader-supported. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them — at no additional cost to you. This disclosure explains how affiliate relationships work on our site.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals from our site to a retailer's site. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission. This does not increase the price you pay — you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Programs
We participate in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates
- Sweetwater affiliate program
- B&H Photo affiliate program
- Other music and audio equipment retailers
Our Commitment to You
Our editorial integrity is not for sale. We want to be completely transparent about how we earn money and how it affects (or doesn't affect) our recommendations:
- We only recommend products we believe in. Every product we mention or link to is something we would recommend to a friend. We do not recommend products solely because they have an affiliate program.
- Our reviews are honest. If a product has flaws, we say so. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content.
- We recommend at multiple price points. We believe great recording is possible on any budget. Our guides always include options at different price levels, including free and low-cost alternatives.
- We disclose affiliate links. Any page containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice. We want you to always know when a link is an affiliate link.
How You Can Help
