Independent research by truerecs: every item links to the public source it comes from.
Studio
“I use Logic Pro. I have been using Logic for more than 20 years”
“A priority in my process is to have the mix in my fingers on an analogue mixer”
Monophony Monster Wall
“I bought my first set of modules from Doepfer in 1998.”
“the Doepfer Wasp filter is a must-have in any system”
Synths
“I recommend the Juno 106. It is a simple one-oscillator synth, but it always sounds so good and easy to mix.”
“Well my old loved one is the Roland Juno 2, it was my first synth.”
Monitoring
“I usually work with a small Yamaha HS50S with a Mackie SRS1500 subwoofer when creating a track.”
“Before recording, I clean up sounds in the HEDD30s”
Outboard
“I love the Distressor, which I use to change the Doepfer bass drum samples into dancefloor hammers.”
“The Lexicon PCM91 and the TC2290 are always part of a mix with the TC2290 defining the groove.”
“For dub effects, I use a Kaoss Pad to create filter sweeps or shots feeding into the Boss RE20 Tape delay simulator”
Mixing
“I do the final mix in Logic, picking something from my UAD plug-ins, or software from Brainworks and Kush.”
“I love being able to be hands-on working these, so I use them a lot.”
Records that shaped me
“That track “Marathon Man” by Stephan Bodzin set a new standard of techno.”
“You should check out the new Bjarki album, “Happy Earthday.”
