Equipment I use to Produce/Record

Some have asked me of the equipment I use to produce music and still give that professional quality. Below is the list of equipment. I’ll be working on a producing tutorial soon introducing what equipment and software I use. Now if you guys want a list of equipment I use to use to create professional music, leave me comments for such request and I’ll put up another post regarding that topic.

1) Microphone – Audio Technica (AT4060) (I compare that to the U87’s)
2) AD/DA Converter – Apogee Rosetta (A Standard and sounds great)
3) Keyboard – M-audio Controller (cheap and it works)
4) Monitors – Tanoy Speakers (8 years and still working fine without any issues)
5) Monitor Amps – Alesis (8 yrs and it’s rock solid no issues)
6) Subwoofer – I find the KRK’s midsize work great. The bigger they are, the better you’ll hear the very low end frequencies you’d want to clean up.
7) Fantom xr76 – Older sound Module
Roland xv3080 – Real old sound module but still sounds good
9) Avalon M5 – Mic Amp ( I love this equipment. Rock Solid and the headroom is amazing)
10) Computer – Custom built for under $700
11) Used PCI pro tools

Yea, this is a little over 10k, but it’s worth it. I didn’t include my soft synths, but I will eventually. I built this studio in chunks and learned how to use each piece of equipment. The trick is to buy equipment you need and understand how it works. Same with software. A lot of people buy equipment that they don’t even use it. If you go to a Major Studio, 50% of their equipment is turned off. It’s old, out dated, and hardly used because the plugins work great and the workflow is better to do it digitally. Leave me comments please.
