"Get your monitoring right. I currently use three different sets of monitors to check my mixes. I use the Focal Twins with the matching sub [Sub6], which are awesome, then I have a pair of Avantone MixCubes"

this item can be seen 0:32 into this video.

0:46 into this Future Music video of "Chris Lake In The Studio explaining how to create vocal riser FX", he can be be seen using the Tube-Tech CL 1B Opto Compressor plugin. He has it open in a Logic session, along with Logic's Linear Phase EQ stock plugin.

Starting at 7:06 in the video, Chris Lake talks about applying reverb to the vocal sample after pitching it up. "...I'd add reverb to that. So let's pull up the ValhallaRoom, which I like. A very nice reverb. Let's pull up a hall, or cathedral, that sounds very grand."

"The new @Rekordbox is a winner for me," tweets Chris Lake, referring to Pioneer Rekordbox version 3.0.

At 5:00, Chris opens an instance of Strobe, which is a plugin exclusive to the DCAM Synth Squad bundle.

"I think you'll struggle to find a better value bundle than the V-collection. I bought it over a year ago, and ever since then, it's the first group of plugin synths I turn to for inspiration. There is such a broad choice available, it's difficult to run into writers block with this under your belt" -Chris Lake

At 0:34 in the Future Music with Chris Lake video, you can see an instance of GForce impOSCar2.

This photo was posted on Chris Lake's Facebook page on 22 November 2013. It clearly shows that he is using Focal Twin6 Be as his primary monitors in his new studio.

"Get your monitoring right. I currently use three different sets of monitors to check my mixes. I use the Focal Twin 2s with the matching sub, which are awesome, then I have a pair of Avantone MixCubes"

In Future Music 2009's coverage of his studio equipment, Chris Lake mentions that he adds these to his JBL monitors “to make sure my mix has not gone sideways on the main monitors”.

While this article from MusicRadar lists the speakers as simply "LSR43000s", the curved features and interface on the bottom of the monitor distinguish the pictured equipment as the LSR4326P model specifically.

"Chris’s main set of monitors is a pair of JBL LSR43000s: “They just work for me nicely and the sound correction is pretty cool too,” he says."

"I decided to get Logic 8 on the Mac and I think it’s brilliant, especially for when I’m recording vocals. The feature to comp vocals in Logic 8 makes it so easy to quickly find the best parts of a take. This alone sells the software for what I need."

At the 1:37 mark of his video with Future Music Magazine, Chris can be seen processing a vocal riser in Ableton Live. He begins the video using Logic Pro, but he later admits to being a "Logic Novice" and switches to Ableton Live.

In this tutorial on vocal riser effects, Chris Lake switches from Logic Pro to Ableton because "I'm an absolute Logic novice... this technique will take me a very short amount of time in Ableton, but it'll take me forever in Logic".

Chris has also mentioned his own use of Live in a discussion with Dancing Astronaut, found here: http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2014/03/da-studios-chris-lakes-top-5-tips-for-aspiring-producers/slide/2/
