Hardware –
External Sound Modules / Synths –
Microphones –
Controllers –
M-Audio Oxygen 25 – Handy for small spaces
Mixer / Interface / Monitoring –
Mackie Onyx 1220 w/firewire option – This poor thing finally died. It was loved and it will be missed. The Saffire Pro 40 currently works for all the midi/audio/routing I need, so I replaced the mixer with a Mackie Big Knob (Passive).
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 – This was upgraded to a Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen
Computer Systems –
MacBook Air M2 – I’ve been using this about a year… it’s great, but not officially in the studio setup yet.
Mac Mini i7 Quad Core (late 2012) – The current studio computer. It runs Mojave, has USB 3 and Firewire ports. Perfect little box for my semi-legacy needs.
MacBookPro (Mid 2010) – I mostly use this for DJ gigs. It’s still kicking.
MacPro (2006) – I still have this beast, but it lives in a box now.
External Processors – There if I need them…
Aphex 104 – Aural Exciter Type C2 with Big Bottom
Recording –
Sony MDS-JB920 (still have the *old* mixdowns on MD)
Software –
Logic Pro – Primary DAW. I’ve been using this since version 1.0, so you could say I have a history (and maybe some bias).
Pro Tools – Pro Tools 12 and it’s lack of support for old plugins turned me off a bit.
Melodyne – Still the best “pitch correction” software out there.
reFX – Still using Nexus 2 and Vanguard, they’re fun toys.
Waves – I never paid to upgrade to 64bit. So these are still around, but collecting dust.
Meditor (started it all)
