What Music Gear Do I Use?

When I began my journey, I relied on extensive racks of costly out gear that demanded constant maintenance. Today I’ve transformed my setup into a more efficient and effective "mixing in the box" system, utilizing high-performance technology. This modern approach not only reduces costs but also allows me to deliver that big studio sound to my clients at incredibly competitive rates!

I never use all of these for every song, usually only three or four. But, I love having them at my fingertips when needed, and sometimes I may grab another piece of gear for a specific need.  But, all my professional mixing and Mastering projects run through this chain.
