Benny Benassi

The studio monitor speaker on the right in this photo shared by Benny Benassi is the ATC SCM25A Pro Studio Monitor. He says, "Back in studio ... I found a nice surprise".

The ADAM A77X Powered Studio Monitor is Benny Benassi's studio monitor of choice, as can be seen in this picture. One monitor can be seen in the left part of this picture.

At around 1:04:10 in this video with Future Music Magazine, Alle states, "The delay that I personally prefer is called... Pitch Blender, which is TDM from Sound Blender, and makes a lot of incredible stuff."

An Apple MacBook Pro be seen in front of his Adam A77Xs. Looks like a 2008 version or earlier based on the absence of the black keyboard and the fact that this image was probably taken on September 03, 2008 or earlier.

Ableton Live can be seen running on his MacBook Pro. It has to be Ableton Live 7 or earlier (maybe a beta version of Live 8), since the photo was taken at latest in 2008.

The Sony MDR-V700 DJ Headphones can be seen lying on the desk to the right of Benny's MacBook Pro.

In an article from beatportal, Alle is asked what's currently used in his studio, he responds, "The core of the studio is a Mac Pro with Logic and a Protools HD II system with a couple of Digidesign 96 interfaces connected to some analog and virtual-analog stuff, such as a Moog Little Phatty, Voyager, Nord Lead 2x, Virus TI, Yamaha CS1x, Sherman Filterbank, and so on. There are also lots of virtual instruments, and then to monitor we use a TL Audio Fat Track and a couple of ADAM S3As."

Starting at 55:04 in this video from Future Music Magazine, Alle goes on to say "We usually use another instrument called Oddity from G-Force..." Oddity is used in this case to "double... the bass [and] to make the bassline... a sort of riff." The plugin can be seen on screen around 55:18.

In this video with Future Music Magazine, Benny pulls up the Native Instruments Battery 3 plugin at 7:45 and does so in order to test a set of kick drum samples.

At around 42:10-42:15 of this interview with Future Music Magazine, Alle talks about how moving clips with automation is a lot easier in Pro Tools than Logic. He has to have used Pro Tools before in order to make such a claim.

Confirmation of his use of Pro Tools, as well as the specific HD 2 can be found in this article from beatportal.

At 59:05 in this interview with Future Music Magazine, Alle states "We are going to use the Minimoog V from Arturia. I would like a real Voyager, but who cares?" The plugin can simultaneously be seen on screen at 59:05.

In a video with Future Music Magazine, Benny Benassi is shown using the Digidesign Reverb One plugin, specifically at the 8:49 mark. He employs this reverb plugin as an insert effect on a group channel referred to as the "rest of drums" bus to process various drum elements, excluding the kick drum, which receives separate processing with a compressor as an insert effect.
