Daft Punk

Used to run Catalyst v4 on the Alive 2006/2007 Tour, as mentioned by Catalyst author Simon Cozens in this November 13, 2007 Catalyst PixelMAD SAMSC Support forum post, which was in response to this late 2007 Apple profile page for XL Video.

Daft Punk wanted the most dazzling visuals they could get for their latest tour. XL Video provided a few eight-core Mac Pros running Catalyst v4 and Final Cut Pro. “They came to us with a pretty fixed idea of what they wanted,” says Burford. “They wanted to mix live video with effects. Using the eight-core Mac Pros, we were able to take in eight digital sources and treat them as video streams. Then they could use Catalyst to coordinate the video with lighting effects and add their own effects in on the fly. The final digital video streams ran to LED screens.”

Used for Discovery, as stated in this May 1, 2001 Remix interview and in this October 1, 2001 Mix Online interview.

Remix

What do you record to? Analog tape? Hard disk?

Bangalter: We use sequencers to control a lot of different samplers and synthesizers. Every sampler has a different sound, but my favorite is the E-mu. We have Roland, Ensoniq, and Akai samplers, too. A lot of times we'll try a sound in all of our different samplers to see which is best. Our sequencing is done either on an E-mu SP-1200, an Akai MPC, or a PC with Logic Audio software. We do not work on things in just one way.

When it comes to recording and mixing their music, Daft Punk utilizes a modest setup. “We never have gone to a big studio to do anything,” says de Homem-Christo. “We have a small Mackie 12-channel mixer, and everything is done there by bricolage.” They use Logic Audio on an iMac DV, and they record to a Sony DAT, direct into the iMac or Revox A77/B77 analog recorder, depending upon the sound they want. But even de Homem-Christo admits that he does not like to explain the band's technical process too in-depth. He does not want to give away too much. A good magician never reveals his secrets.

Per this screenshot from a late-'90s interview Daft Punk provided to a Japanese publication, an Iomega Zip drive was used during the Homework era of recording and live performance. Nobody needs one of these in the present-day, but they provided affordable, reliable & ruggedized storage for live performance samples & other essential files in the era before 100GB of SSD could fit on a thumb drive.
