David Paich

Used on most of the keyboards for Toto XIV, as mentioned by producer CJ Vanston in this March 5, 2015 Mix Online article.

The main mic preamp throughout was a Universal 6176, used for most of the vocals. “Either with a 47 or an Audio-Technica 5040,” Vanston says. “We used a Schoeps on some of the acoustic guitar tracks and also the Shure KSM44—that sounds fantastic. Then we used a 57 for the electric guitar. If Steve Lukather is happy with his guitar sound, I’m happy with it. And I have two Neve 1073s that we used a lot on the keyboards. I’ve got a Neve 8801, which is a great preamp that I like.”

David Paich told that he used this soft synth to double te CS80 sound

"Yes I have a Pro-53. I haven't used it as much as I'd like to, but I kind of like to do "actual reality" like there's a piano there and I "actually" play it. But yes, I have messed around with them a little bit. I did the new Boz Scaggs album with them, and I've done some Toto stuff with it. Once I get home I'm going to look into the modeling because they're coming out with more complete synthesizers. I really would like to explore them more."
