7 Skies

"Now we go to this other little guy... is the Moog Minitaur. And what the Moog Minitaur does is ONE sound. Then you can modulate and blah blah blah and it becomes like... five? But it does like really few sounds[...] it's been thought to be some kind of a bass machine... and, yeah, that's what it's for. It's got two oscillators, and each oscillators has two waveform, which is saw and square..."

He uses these studio monitors for music production.

"What are those egg-shaped speakers...? Those are the... the Eggs... They are a new kind of concept of speakers, what I mean is they do this egg shape shell over here because the egg technically remove(s) internal resonances for sound. So what you get is a really clean bottom-end..." (4:15)

In this video we see 7 Skies use Logic X to show how he made the track 'Are We On Air'.

you can see the Spectrum Analyzer running at the bottom of the screen

"What's REALLY expensive is that other guy over there, which I don't even really use, um, that thing is a Korg MS-20, and it's not the MS-20 Mikro or Micro that Korg released last year, which is the same thing but with MIDI mapping and all that stuff. No, that thing is from 1978, so it's older than me by like seven years. It's a great, great machine, 100% analog sound, it doesn't even have MIDI[...] what it does is, there's this system control called CV, and what it does is basically it translates the MIDI signal into actual electricity and if you patch it right you can actually play the synthesizer..."

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

"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 video he begins explaining how he has a skin on the sylenth plugin

at 27:20 David says: I recently discovered Spire which is pretty good actually...

In a Facebook photo posted by 7 Skies, the box for Native Instruments KONTAKT 6 is visible, indicating the artist's use of this sampler plugin.

in this picture you can clearly see the box for Alicia's keys next to the box of Kontakt 4

in this picture you can see a mixer from Pro Tools. you know it's Pro Tools 9 tnx to 7 SKies description saying ''No I'm still on Logic I'm just messing around with PT9 to see how it goes''

on this video Tran Ce comments ''Excellent, which marks are the monitors?'' to which David replies ''Munrosonic The Egg and Genelec 8010 + Genelec 5040''

In an Instagram post, 7 Skies is seen using the Audioscope 2813 while working on a new project, expressing excitement about the upcoming release.

in the youtube video, at 4:22 he uses EQuick...

You can see him using Abelton Live 10 throughout the video

As the camera fades in on 7 Skies' studio, one can see the JP-8000 on the bottom-left of the shot. At 16:58 in particular, he says of his JP-8000 and Juno, "these are like, holy grail of synthesis of electronic music, um... each synth here has, y'know, shaped some kind of genre in EDM. We have this blue one here, which is the JP-8000, and the JP-8000 became famous in the... 98 or early 2000. And it was, y'know, it had this thing, this waveform, which was called supersaw... [which] shaped trance music. So, yeah, basically, all the early trance from like 2000s... those were done thanks to that synthesizer. It had that really rich and big saw sound, really detuned saw sound. Still pretty good, I still use it."

"Then, what we have...? We have the Access Virus TI, this is the Snow version. I kind of hate and love this synthesizer... because it's amazing. There's nothing that sounds like it. Literally. Like... NOTHING. Uh, but at the same time, this little [redacted] here... is always out of synch, there's always problems, sometimes it just does what it wants[...] it's so worth it. 'Cause the sound that comes out of it, it's so good."

"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)

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.
