Jono, on the Anjunabeats Forum: "...it helps to have a decent pre-amp. At the moment we use a Focusrite voice master, but you can still get a good recording with a mackie desk pre-amp if you know what you're doing. Hope this helps."

When asked how he made the track "Remember (Summer Sun)," Paavo responds in the Anjunabeats Forum:

"The whole track (apart from a pad sound) was done on my laptop and there's all sorts of virtual synths there...

the only external synth i used was the jp-8080 for the pad in the chorus. I just wanted to add a pad and didn't have enough power to run my sample of it off an exs-24."

"Installed the new UAD Studer A800 plugin in yet?Can't wait to get home to try it out."
