Greetings,

I've been asked over the years about my music setup, so here are some pictures and a gear-list. It's a smallish room with some DIY acoustic treatment spotted around the place. I have plans to branch it out in the future, so I’ll post any updates when the time comes.

I’d say in terms of the way I make music it’s a 50/50 split – half in the box, half outside the box. Combining the acoustic instruments with digital processing is how I get a lot of my sounds, for example, stacking individual violin notes to attain a sort of mini ensemble, or putting the guitars through some of Reaktor’s user library effects. I’ll maybe create a more comprehensive insight to this someday. 

Gear List:

Guitars: Taylors, Fender Tele etc.

Amp: Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb

Various instruments: Violin, Banjo, Lap Steel, Percussion, Ukulele etc.  

Keys: NI Komplete Kontrol S88, M-Audio 88Key, Ion 49key 

Mics: Shures SM7b, SM57, SM58; Rodes Nt-5 pair, Nt-1a

Audio Interface: Universal Audio Apollo Twin

Speakers: Yamaha HS-80

Various: NI Maschines

Software: NI Komplete 11 (Kontakt, Reaktor etc.), Spitfire Audio, Omnisphere, East West, Fabfilter, Soundtoys, Waves, UA etc.

That wraps it up for now. I’ll do another blog post in the future when I have a studio update.

Cheers,

Owen
