Dr. Dre

In an interview with Scratch magazine, Dr. Dre says "I love using the MPC3000. I like setting up like four or five different MPC3000's, so I don't have to keep changing disks. So I have them all lined up, and I have different drum sounds in each one, and then we use one for sequencing the keyboard." A copy of the publication can be seen here.

In this article, it quotes Dr. Dre saying, "I like my vocals to sound 'crystal.' I use the Sony C800-G for vocals because it has a clean sound and about 85% of the people that get behind it sound great. My main objective is that the vocal sound is present and clean and ultimately does not distort. I get the sound I want out of the EQ on the SSL. We've used it forever and have made many hits on it, including 50s 'In Da Club'."

In an interview from 2004 with "Scratch" magazine, Dr. Dre says "I had Pro Tools right when it came out, but I wasn't a fan of it because I lost a little bit of my low end before they perfected it. So, I used to just use Pro Tools for sequencing the albums. But now I think they've perfected it enough for me to roll with it, so I've been using it quite a bit."
