DJ Pierre discusses the impact of using the ADAM Audio A7X Powered Studio Monitors on his mixing process, stating that these monitors eliminated issues with mixes sounding too dark or too bright. The photo from Attack Magazine shows the ADAM Audio A7X in his setup, alongside the Event 20/20BAS Studio Monitor.

DJ Pierre relies on the Event 20/20BAS V3 Studio Monitors to achieve a balanced mix, eliminating issues with sound being too dark or too bright. This setup is visible in a photo shared by Attack Magazine, where you can also spot an ADAM Audio A7X Powered Studio Monitor on the left.

"Nothing is like the original so we’re not even going to touch that, but I have to say that the offspring of the TB-303 embodies most of the qualities that I loved from the original. Lately the TB-3 has become my most enjoyable piece of gear to play with in the studio. I love the smoothness that it brings to my acid patterns but when I wanna get rough this bad boy can handle that too. This little machine has found its way into most of my productions of late."

"I’m still developing this room but it’s turning out to be a sexy setup. It’s already the perfect room for production and programming. This room is based around Ableton Live run by the Ableton Push controller. With my Traktor setup, F1 controller and the Pioneer RMX-1000 it’s also the perfect place to rock out a nice DJ mix for your radio show." via Attack

"What is a house without a strong foundation? The TR-909 was and still is the foundation of house music. This is the new Roland TR-8 and undeniably, for me this is the new foundation of my studio. In one machine I now have the 909, 808, 707, and 727! I can tune all the drums differently, make fresh new kits and save them as my own personal and original Roland TR-DJP. I can also take this on the road as it’s pretty compact and easy to carry, unlike the original. The sound is still raw on this but it’s not too harsh. Imagine this as a much warmer 909, while to me the 808 is still the 808 but with more hum and dynamics on the kick."

"Did I hear somebody say Wild PiTcH?! I gotta tell you that recently I've been re-releasing my Wild Pitch stuff from the 90s, and when it came to recreating the sounds I used on those tracks, the System-1 was the only keyboard that could emulate the Juno 106 bass patch I used for 90% of my Wild Pitch tracks. Do I really have to list any other reason I have this in the studio? I didn't think so."

I’ve always been a Tascam man from the moment I bought the 2524 back in my Wild Pitch days. My goal in my studio, since the new developments in production tools, is to combine the best of both worlds – that being the digital world and, of course, the analogue world.

love this program. I come from a straight analogue background, so I needed to work with a program that had the functionality and look that was as similar to analogue gear as possible. With the latest version of Reason you have the Rack Extensions, which essentially is Propellerhead’s version of a VST plugin. I love seeing my keyboards in a rack and with this vertical screen I actually feel like it’s a physical rack. The sound quality compares to anything out there. The new mix console looks and emulates an SSL console and now with the new MIDI options you can run, record and mix analogue gear right in Reason.

"@Roland_AUS: .@djpierre @WeArePhuture tore the roof off of the SOH last night for @ROLANDCANADA #VividLIVE Party! "

"I love this keyboard for quick live tracking and manipulating. The arpeggiator is pretty amazing and the synth sounds are classic, but for me you can’t beat the vocoder for some quick and simple live vocoding!"

"This lil wonder box has all the effects you need in the DJ booth; anything more is too much. You know how it is when the crowd needs a little pick-me-up; that’s when you drop the bass with the oscillator FX, spiral up then bring it home with the reverb down. If you don’t know what that means, let me put it this way: it’s an instant break with build-up and drop whenever you need it."

"KRK, baby! Stashed snugly under the console. Nice, gritty, deep and dirty. This is definitely some bass for ya face."

"True, clear sound is a must in any studio. Before I got this, that was an area that my studio was lacking. Not anymore."

"I’ve tried many controllers with Reason but most of them didn’t work all the functions within the program, and that has brought me a lot of frustration. With the Novation Launchkey 49 I’m able to control every function in Reason with the controller. Diagnosis: no longer frustrated."
