Ilan Bluestone's Gear
@4:52 "Your plugin you guys just made... that is amazing... having it ready to go instead of searching through folder after folder."
When asked why he uses Calkwalk, Ilan explains that it's what he's used for so long that he can't seem to switch. "I've been using Cakewalk ever since" at 1:55
Find it on:
In this photo of Ilan Bluestone performing live, you can see he uses the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 DJ Controller (hooked up to his MacBook). The S2 is the little brother of the S4.
In a Facebook post, Ilan Bluestone shares a moment with Jono jamming in his studio, where a Roland Edirol PCR-500 USB MIDI Keyboard is visible. While the exact model is uncertain due to the obscured number of keys, it is likely either a PCR-500 or PCR-800.
MOTU Ultralight MK3 can be spotted in this photo Ilan posted on Instagram
Ilan Bluestone explains on his twitter that he no longer uses SONAR and has switched to Ableton Live

In this Instagram, Bluestone shows off some of his new gear consisting of a DJ mixer and two CDJ-800s. He says, "My new Toys! Boooom #cdjs". A fan asks him "Are those 900s @ibluestone" to which he replies "800s".
Ilan Bluestone shows off his KRK VXT8 Studio Monitors in his studio and says, "I love these Bad boys! #KRK"
"I use this thing called the KRK Ergo system which is like an enhanced room geometry optimization unit. A lot of people are like, 'oh, don't touch that'[...] if you wanna be cheap and economical like I used to be[...] I highly recommend it because what it does is it cancels out all the frequencies that you have on your final mix for when you jump in your car and you're like 'why is my song too bassy', this thing really, by one button, it literally cancels out all those frequencies[...] that helped me on my final mixdown big time." (30:30)
I interviewed iLan Bluestone on a Gibson Tour Bus about his music production style using SONAR. He mentions using Z3TA+ as well in the interview. Cakewalk is a Gibson Brand.
Ilan can be seen using V-Moda Crossfade M-100 headphones in his ABGT 150 set. The pic is the thumbnail of the YouTube video uploaded by Above & Beyond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb2EVL4lOpg
Ilan changed his setup from Traktor Kontrol S2 to CDJs and a Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus Mixer. In this post he says "Huge thanks to @aboveandbeyond for lending me these! #goodbyecontrollers"
From Ilan's Tumblr blog: "I Bought the Eastwest symphonic orchestra GOLD plug-in that is worth every penny and I always manage to create a great top line using it. It is by far the best plug-in for doing string lines."
"Trance Part 2. #Anthemtest"
Looks like a video made shortly after he made a music track. I am assuming he is in his own studio listening to his own speakers at this point of the video.
The video shows the distinctive special ribbon tweeter on the Adam monitor. In addition an early video on his Facebook feed shows the rounded front facing bass port. Just a glimpse.
In this video at 0:10 you can see that Ilan is using these subwoofer
In this photo of Ilan Bluestone's studio gear setup, you can see his primary monitors are KRK VXT8s, while his secondary ones are the Rokit 6. He likely tests his mixes on the smaller Rokits to make sure they sound good on a smaller system, while still being familiar with the overall KRK sound.
