Flume has said Ableton Live is what they work in for everything, after starting on FL Studio (Westword, 2013). In 2016 they told Interview Magazine they went from eJay to ACID Pro, then FruityLoops and Reason. Their 2013 Producer Disc videos walk through Live's Session and Arrangement views.
Flume has said they use Sylenth1, Sugar Bytes Turnado, Cytomic The Glue, Spectrasonics Omnisphere and NI Guitar Rig on vocals (Future Music, 2014), and Sonic Charge Synplant for randomised sounds (NME, 2016).
In 2022 Flume named the Sequential Prophet-10 and Prophet X as the synths they rate most, plus a 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop, a Roland TR-8S, a SOMA Pulsar-23 drum machine and modular gear such as the Make Noise Morphagene and Instruo Arbhar.
Flume has been seen using a Novation ReMOTE 25SL with their name written on it in the studio (Future Music, 2014), and an Akai LPK25 with a Novation Launchpad in a Boiler Room live setup. On the 2019 to 2020 tour the stage had 16 ROLI Lightpad Blocks.
A 2017 Mixdown gear rundown reports that Flume started on KRK VXT8 monitors and later moved to Barefoot MicroMain27s.
Flume has been seen using an RME Fireface UCX in the studio, an Apogee Duet 2 on the tour bus and an Apogee Quartet at home, per a 2017 Mixdown gear rundown.
Flume is the Australian producer Harley Streten, behind the albums Flume, Skin and Palaces. This guide covers the DAW history, plugins, synths and studio gear they have named in interviews, the setup seen in gear features and on tour, and a few records and pastimes.
