Studio
“I started with software using a music sequencer called Impulse Tracker; then I moved to Fruity Loops and Reason and ended up on Cubase, which I still use today”
“The only soft synth I use is Omnisphere - I love the soundscapes and it has some nice FX.”
“I used to have the HD25s but now I'm using HD26s.”
Mixing
“I use this plugin on almost every channel in my projects and it helps me to get what I want on the mix of a track.”
“When you use RE-201 in a track, sounds become warm right away, so it works perfectly for the music I create.”
Synths
“The first ever gear I bought was the Virus TI, which I still have.”
“it's just something that goes beyond any 'regular' synth - it's a monster synth.”
“I think the gear I use the most is Prophet 6 Synthesizer, I love that synth so much and the sound of it.”
“Later addition is OB - 6 by Dave Smith which is a monster like all Dave Smith's gear.”
“I used the Elektron - Digiton mainly to produce it. I love that synth!”
Effects
“I'm using two FX Eventide H9 multi-effects pedals and a Strymon TimeLine effects delay.”

Earlier DJ setup
