How to record your synthesizers - a beginner friendly overview

How do you record hardware synthesizers? In this overview I talk about different options for this.
Here's gear I recommend for a synth setup & your studio. This is almost exclusively gear I have used in my studio and know to work. (All links are affiliate links)
