"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!"

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."
