As a featured artist of Apogee, Diplo talks about using the Apogee Quartet in a YouTube video.

The Apogee Ensemble is seen in a YouTube video of Diplo's studio.

When asked if he has any Universal Audio analog gear int he studio, Diplo responded "Yeah, in our studios we have both a 6176 Vintage Channel Strip and a reissue 1176LN set up in our vocal chain. Much of the vocals on the record were recorded through those. Usually we’ll track with very light compression via those two components, so we are almost always choosing the UAD Powered Plug-Ins versions again later for the final mix or further sound design."

"My first 'real' set up was an Akai S20 that I stole from [a music store] in Orlando. I was so nervous I didn’t leave my house for a week because I thought the police were waiting outside!"

"I’m still getting to know a lot of the new stuff. I’m actually looking for other UAD users to help me find some new tricks all the time. When it comes to analog sound or reproduction, another UAD user, Ariel Rechtshaid – who has co-written with me a lot on Justin Bieber, Usher, No Doubt, Major Lazer, etc. – is very good at stuff like that. So I’ve been trying out the UAD Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder Plug-In and the Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In."

Diplo has a YouTube video where he talks specifically about using NI KOMPLETE (Massive, Battery, and Kontakt).

Diplo talks about how he used the Teletronix LA-3A plugin on his album "Free The Universe": "On the track, 'Get Free' for instance, the hard sounding kick/snare sound was ran through the Teletronix LA-3A compressor plug-in once or twice, in between being processed with other layers."
