Kanye West

In a Twitter photo shared by Kanye West, a browser tab is visible showing a torrent for Xfer Serum Advanced Wavetable Synthesizer, alongside the official website.

In this photo, Kanye West is seen using an Akai MPK49.

A Record Plant Staff Engineer- Jun Ishizeki- stated that he used an AT4050 for most of Kanye's vocals.

“The AT4050 is what I used for most of Kanye’s vocals,” says Record Plant Staff Engineer Jun Ishizeki. “It has a slight but very effective bump in the upper-midrange that’s right where many engineers start to push, so it really enhances the vocal at that critical point. At the same time, the AT4050 is a very flat-response microphone, so you’re always getting the actual sound of the singer, not the curve of the microphone itself. I love that combination.”

In the YouTube video titled "Breaking Down Kanye West's 'WAVES' with Hudson Mohawke" by ADAM Audio, Hudson Mohawke discusses the production of an early version of the song "WAVES." Kanye West, who has a production credit on the track, likely collaborated using Image Line FL Studio, as Hudson Mohawke demonstrates. Notably, Metro Boomin, another credited producer known for frequently using FL Studio, also contributed to the song.

At 0:05, Kanye is shown recording, "On Sight" using the Sony C-800G

Pro Tools can be seen on the computer. However, it is unknown what version it is.

In this video Kanye West is seen at 0:24 using an Ensoniq ASR-10 in the studio.

At 2:58 in this interview, Kanye West says “whatever tools I need to get that point across, to get that sound across but, I was blessed to have grown up playing the EPS-16+”.

In the article, engineer Anthony Kilhoffer says he used the AT4060 for Kanye West. Though this could've just been used to capture John Legends piano recording.

ilhoffer also worked on the Kanye West recording, and found that vocals responded well to the AT4060, but he was ecstatic at the result he got when he used the phantom-powered AT3060 cardioid tube microphone on John Legend’s piano, both for West’s album and for Legend’s solo recording.

My source for this is a comment from a thread called " what mic(s) does Kanye use" by the gearslutz user "PettyCash".

Everyone has at least 1 U87 so that's automatic. C800G, ELA M251.... mics that are probably too expensive for you to consider.

An Apollo Twin MKII (not certain if it's a SINGLE, DUO or QUAD) can be seen sitting on the desk at around 00:52 and throughout in Kanye's recent interview with Zane Lowe, held in West's recently acquired Wyoming property.

Gearslutz user "Lifted" claims that he worked in a studio that Kanye worked in during Late Registration, and says that he used a Neumann U-47, and a Neumann U-87.

I know Kanye recorded into U47 and U87 in a studio I worked at, God knows what records were those, cause it has been so long ago, I know it was Late Registration album

Blake Eiseman corroborates this, by stating that they used the vintage U-87's.

The one session I worked with Kanye, we used a U87 (vintage). It would have probably been going through a Vintech X73 then into a Manley VariMu.

The dynamics processor that has been used for Kanye's vocals throughout the recording as well as for all his live performances is the Tube-Tech CL-1B.

We are very pleased to have an artist of this importance on our users list - and much more so because Mr. West normally doesn't want to have his name connected to any specific piece of gear. In this case, however, he has agreed, and, in all modesty, we see that as a very important recognition of the Tube-Tech sound.

Kanye West’s sound engineer is Noah Goldstein, who got the gig only 6 years after graduating from Temple University in Philadelphia, working in Electric Lady Studios with artists such as Arcade Fire, Steve Earle, Katy Perry and Danish act Kashmir in the meantime. Noah is responsible for all Kanye's vocal recordings and for a main part of the mixing and organizing Kanye's tracks for his records, as well as for live use.

He has an iPhone X, shown multiple times including his meeting with Donald Trump. The source states, "I’ve also noticed that you have studio setups in pretty much all of your workspaces. With everything you’re doing, when do you decide it’s time to record?

Kanye: I just rap into my iPhone. Best microphone on the planet. Thirty, forty percent of The College Dropout was recorded on a [Roland] VS-1680. Twenty percent of Jesus Is King was recorded on an iPhone.

Your actual vocals on the album are just voice memos? Kanye: Yes. I first started doing that on Yeezus. Like Closed on Sunday, you’re my Chick-fil-A—that part is off the phone."

A Roland VS-1880 is mentioned in this article as one of the main music making tools Kanye uses.

[West's] lyrics explored themes of loss, alienated fame, and heartache, while the album's production abandoned conventional hip hop sounds in favor of a minimalist sonic palette, which included prominent use of the titular Roland TR-808 drum machine.
