7 Skies

7 Skies speaks at length about his use of a laptop— namely, the MacBook Pro— in his production setup. "This is the setup. Uh, everything is run by a MacBook Pro... retina display... you're probably like, 'you're using a laptop? How do you do this whole thing?' Yeah, I'm using a laptop... if you get the Retina display, there's enough power to run huge projects." He then lists the specifications of that particular laptop, which includes a 2.7gHz processor, which was indicative of the 15" model when the Retina line was first introduced.

"Then! What do I have... as a sound card? Well, as a sound card, I have a UAD Apollo... '2', or whatever it's called... that's another really expensive thing, it's actually THE last thing that I bought..." (22:03)

At 22:33, we see a close-up of the equipment itself. The interface is consistent with the standard-model Apollo (that is, not the 16 model) due to its two headphone ports and buttons on the left side of the interface, which are absent on the 16 model.

in this picture you can clearly see the Apogee Duet (not the Duet2 because of the silver skin instead of black)

In this Facebook Photo we can see apple thunderbolt display on 7 skies' studio desk.

33:13 into his studio tour, 7 Skies lists the Precision Maximizer amongst his plugins and shows a photo of it.

"I do have a lot of UAD stuff, uh, some of my favorite(s) are the Cambridge EQ..."On the screen, after 7 Skies names the plugin, a photo of the plugin's interface appears on screen. (33:09)

"I do have a lot of UAD stuff, uh, some of my favorite(s) are... the FATSO..."On the screen, after 7 Skies names the plugin, a photo of the FATSO plugin's interface appears on screen. (33:11)

"I do have a lot of UAD stuff, uh, some of my favorite(s) are... the Manley EQ..."On the screen, after 7 Skies names the plugin, a photo of the Manley's plugin interface appears on screen. (33:14)

"...then, for other things, I use the DMG EQuality..." (33:21)

"I'm a big fan of the 1176 compressor, um, there IS one that comes with the UAD, but for that one I kinda like more of the, uh, Native Instrument one, which is done with Softube." At 33:41, the plugin's interface is shown on-screen.

"...of course The Glue, which is kind of a recreation of the SSL compressor." (33:44)

"I use Xfer LFO Tool a lot to do sidechaining." (33:49)

"...I use the Art Acoustic reverb, but ever since I got into more, like, a house-y sound I'm liking the ValhallaRoom reverb... a little bit better." (33:59)

"...I use the Art Acoustic reverb, but ever since I got into more, like, a house-y sound I'm liking the ValhallaRoom reverb... a little bit better." (34:08)

"I'm using a lot of FilterShaper as well, when I don't use LFO tool I use the FilterShaper. Just... they do different things, they kind of do the same thing but at the same time they kind of do it differently..."(34:41)
