Andy McCluskey's Studio Equipment
"I used two drum machines. For a lot of the percussion and hi-hats and things I used an RX5 - if you solo any of the cymbals you can hear the loops on them. The other thing I used was the little Alesis HR16 - again because it's a piece of cake to use. I love things which are easy to program. It's also a very real-sounding machine. The only trouble with it is that you really have to work at the hi-hats and the tambourine with the EQ to get any sort of top out of them. It's funny but I was talking to somebody who uses an Alesis and he asked me what it was I'd used for the hi-hats and tambourine. I told him and he said 'Bloody hell, I thought it was, you can hear it a mile off.'"

“I just took my G5 out of my programming room, stuck it underneath a cheap office table in a corner of my bedroom overlooking the garden, took a Neumann [U87] from the studio, and stuck it through an Avalon [VT-737SP channel strip], then wondered why I had never done this before.”

"The Mitsubishi 32-track recorder was a Godsend too - we actually managed to get everything on one machine. We didn't want to have to slave up two 24-track tapes because it's such a tedious process, and when you come to mixing you're always having to wait for them to lock up. It takes twice the time to mix when you're running two machines in sync."
