Best piece of gear I bought in 2017
I bought many pieces of gear in my life, but getting this pair of headphones was one of the best. It's just so practical. I don't really use it during my music production sessions, but I use it when I'm having a walk in nature, when I'm lying in bed at night or when I'm taking a bath :) The noise cancelling is amazing!

awesome bass
I'm not a good bass-player by all means, but I used this to record simple bass lines for my (mostly electronic) music and it sounds great. Very happy with this bass-guitar

What a difference when I got these
I actually made most of my tracks back in the day on a simple and cheap HIFI music set that I got from my parents when I was a little kid. When I finally upgraded to these monitor speakers when I was in my late 20ies it was a different world alltogether. I could finally hear what I was doing in the low bass-frequency area :) Own these speakers for a long time now and I'm still happy with them to this day

Great mic
I own 2 of these to record stereo sounds like acoustic guitar, conga's, etc. Not the best mic ever of course but for its price it's great!

Great for on the road
Fits perfectly in my laptop bag for when I'm on the road and want to make music :)

Nice!
Too bad it doesn't support USB, which kind of makes them obsolete these days, but I still own 2 of these that I've used for many years in the studio. Recorded many mixes for my Scientific Radio show with these.

Iconic
Learned how to DJ on 2 of these in 1997-1998. Still have 2 of them setup in my studio now. Hardly ever touch them anymore to be honest, but they still work, sound and look great :) Gotta love vinyl!

Served me well for a long time!
Great mixer that I've used for many years and was an intergral piece of equipment in my studio. Recorded many of my Scientific Radio shows on this one. Stopped working properly after many years, but had a lot of fun times on this one :)

Classic!
One of the first DAWs I ever used. Made 100nds of tracks in this one between ages 12-18 or so. Very simplistic but back in the day this was one of the most amazing and versatile pieces of software. I cannot express how much I owe to FT2. Big ups to the developers that made this. It was a childhood dream come true!

Nice!
Didn't use Renoise that much to be honest. Before Renoise I used Jeskola Buzz and it was a huge step upwards, but after Renoise I quickly switched to Ableton Live because it simply has more to offer. However, I do still sometimes sync Renoise and Ableton together because it offers a very interesting and different way of making music and I like the fact that the sequencer runs from top to bottom, which is what I was used to with Jeskola Buzz for many years and Fasttracker 2 before that. Always get fun results from using Renoise. Great piece of software

Amazing
Used this as my main DAW from around 1999 to 2016. Of course it cannot compete anymore against the widely known and extensive DAWs of today (like Ableton Live), but this pretty unknown piece of software has served me well for 17 years. Made 100nds of tracks in this. It's funny how you can create certain sounds very easily in Buzz which you cannot do in the popular DAWs of today. The only downside is that is crashed constantly so I have like 30 versions of each track and used to save every 10 minutes or so :)

I've starting using the newer Jesolka Buzz (1503) and I'm finding it really difficult to get idea down quickly, any tips to improve workflow speed? Also it's crazy that it didn't have an 'undo' button for years.

The backbone of my music
After switching to Ableton Live in 2016 from Jeskola Buzz that I used between 2000-2016 it was a giant step up. It's so amazing how much you can do with Ableton Live. Never regretted switching to this DAW for a second. It's the backbone of my music productions
Version: Ableton Live 9

Sick!
Truly one of the sickest and most extensive softsynths I've ever used. Love it to bits! First my style of music brilliantly
Version: Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2

First keyboard I ever owned
My parents gave me this keyboard when I was about 12 years old and it's the first one I've ever owned. The sound on it is quite terrible haha, but I still keep it on the lowest tier of my synth rack, purely for nostalgic reasons (great memories) and to let my little 1 year old daughter have a jam at it once in a while :)

Had a lot of fun with this one
One of my first synths. Bought this one when I was about 17-18 years old. Never quite used it in many of my music productions for some reason, but it was a lot of fun playing on this synth over the years! And it looks fantastic of course :)

Good
I don't actually use a lot of the automap features on this midi keyboard, but it's great nevertheless. Served me well over the years!

Great for its price
Its capabilities are a bit limited compared to some of the other beast synthesizers out there (that are much more expensive), but for its price it's an absolute killer synth!
