Affiliate Disclosure

Ramesh Music is committed to transparency in everything we do. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. This disclosure applies to all content across the site, including reviews, guides, tutorials, and gear roundups.

This is a standard practice across the music gear and audio production industry. We include this notice to remain compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and affiliate relationships. You have our word that we do not hide these relationships or disguise promotional links as editorial content.

What This Means for You

When you purchase through an affiliate link on Ramesh Music, you pay the exact same price as you would if you visited the retailer directly. The commission comes from the retailer, not from your wallet. Your price never increases because you used our link.

These commissions help us cover the costs of running the site — hosting, software, testing gear, and producing in-depth content. They allow us to keep Ramesh Music free and accessible for everyone. We do not let affiliate potential dictate our editorial decisions. If a piece of gear doesn’t perform, we won’t recommend it, regardless of whether it has an affiliate program.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our reviews and recommendations are rooted in hands-on testing and technical analysis. We have spent years behind microphones, at mixing consoles, and inside DAWs. When we recommend a microphone, an interface, or a plugin, it is because we have used it and believe it delivers real value for musicians, producers, and engineers.

We do not accept payment for positive reviews. We do not write content around affiliate programs. Our editorial process stays independent. If a brand wants to send us gear for review, we accept it, test it, and publish our honest findings. If the product falls short, we say so.

Our Partners & Affiliate Programs

Ramesh Music participates in several affiliate programs. These include, but are not limited to:

• Amazon Associates — we link to products available on Amazon.com and its global storefronts.
• Sweetwater — we link to gear sold through Sweetwater, a trusted retailer in the pro audio space.
• Guitar Center — we may link to products listed on GuitarCenter.com.
• Thomann — we occasionally link to Thomann for European readers.
• Plugin Alliance and Native Instruments — for software and plugin recommendations.

This list may change over time. You can usually identify affiliate links by looking at the URL. Many contain tracking parameters such as tag, ref, or affid. If you ever have doubts about a specific link, feel free to reach out.
