Studio
“It’s such a powerful tool, and I find it one of the most fun things to play with.”
“It’s a small, simple analogue mono synth that has all the classic Moog colours and that signature filter. I use it in a lot of my music.”
“Another mono synth I absolutely love is the Korg MS-20 Mini.”
“This was my first synth, and I’ve always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with it”
Effects
“I’ll use all sorts of plugins for these, from Native Instruments guitar rig delays from sound toys and many others”
Mixing
“When it comes to mixing I use very simple plugins. Either Ableton stock plugins, or basic plugs from Waves or Fab-filter.”
