Questions
About S3RL's gear.
What DAW does S3RL use?
S3RL has said Reason 7 is the program used to produce everything, with all instruments and effects built in and no external VSTs, because when everyone has the same instruments it is harder to have a unique sound.
What studio monitors does S3RL use?
S3RL has named Yamaha HS80M monitors for production, plus other random speakers for checking mixes.
What audio interface does S3RL use?
S3RL has named a Propellerhead Balance sound card, running on a high-end PC.
What MIDI keyboard does S3RL use?
None, by S3RL's own account: no MIDI keyboards are part of the setup, because writing parts by hand in the sequencer feels easier.
What plugins does S3RL use?
For vocals, S3RL has named Celemony Melodyne together with Reason's built-in Neptune tuner. The MTC2 vocals were made with the SONiKA Vocaloid voice.
What DJ gear does S3RL use?
For recorded S3RL Presents mixes at home, S3RL has named a Pioneer DDJ-SR running Serato. At shows the setup depends on the venue, usually Pioneer CDJ-2000s with a DJM-800.
