Studio Equipment

The equipment used in the studio has evolved from experience with my own productions as to what supports the creative process in the easiest and most intuitive way.

At the heart of our studio is an Xi Extreme 20 Core PC running the latest Soundscape Digital Recording Workstation software, powered by a Solid State Logic MX4 Card. This is complemented by the latest keyboard & synthesizer technology, an armoury of virtual instruments, and a vibrant collection of world and acoustic percussion, and world class Neumann microphones.
