Years Strong

I simply love this mic; it pics up everything! It has a pretty neutral tone. Consequently, I've used it for recording both men and women. It's extremely versatile and cost effective!

Very Warm

It's not much to say about this bass; it's a wonderfully warm bass for a 4 string. It's such an easy go-to bass--especially for someone like me who is not a bassist.

Wonderful Foundation

I am really impressed with the Renaissance. I'm not a native MPC user; so, being able to host everything with Pro Tools or Vienna Ensemble Pro is great. I never have to physically use the MPC if it's not desired. The functionality is extremely versatile!

The Only Electronic Drum Set to Buy

I wish that I had more to add with my description, but the set is close to perfect with response and sound. The only thing that is difficult is the sound elimination when clutching a cymbal to stop it from ringing. That could definitely be improved.

Genelec Monitors

They work great in small spaces. The dynamic range is equal or better than many of great size. With the included subwoofer with the pack like I have, your set will perfectly capture the frequency spectrum--crisp sound!

Still Top of Line

I love this keyboard. It has been the heart of my workflow for almost a decade now. It's only drawback to this day is that fact that the nobs can't be used for control changes. But, MIDI control surfaces are so cheap. I'll have this board as long as it works!

Custom Mac

I custom designed this Mac with 128GB of Ram and 4 solid state drives. I threw an old Blu-Ray drive from a PC to add a nice bonus to being able to play and burn Blu-Rays in the studio! The 12 cores really gives stability to my rig.

Raven MTI Review

The batch command feature is invaluable! It saves me so much time with multiple processes. You can't go wrong getting this board. The only drawback to me is that they have created mounts (Vesa or otherwise), since I'll be making my own custom mount soon to put it on a swivel. Otherwise, it is golden. Be sure to note that it will only work with either Logic X or Pro Tools 10 or 11 at this point. If you utilize both like I do, you'll have to pay to be able to use 2 DAWs on it. I think it's almost $100. Having an extra monitor that servers as a touch screen mixer is well worth the price!
