Fehrplay

Photos of Fehrplay's studio show the keyboard controller he uses is the Arturia Analog Experience The Laboratory 49.

For producing on the go and while on tour, Fehrplay relies on his MacBook Pro.

A photo of his entire studio setup shows Fehrplay's audio interface is the Focusrite Scarlett 8i6.

Auralex Studiofoam Wedges can be seen in Fehrplay's studio, to treat the room and make the sound more accurate.

Fehrplay speaks highly of his SSL XLogic Compressor: "The crown jewell in my studio though is my SSL Xlogic stero compressor. I bus everything from drums to bass through it. And almost always have it on the main bus."

Fehrplay's compact, portable studio setup includes the Apogee Duet FireWire Audio Interface, paired up with Dynaudio monitors.

Fehrplay uses the compact Akai Pro LPK25 MIDI keyboard in his outdoor studio setup.

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is the audio interface Fehrplay's uses in his gear setup during his tours.

I would say so. I do use some outboard gear and some synths, but it’s mostly for bussing and master bussing stuff. Obviously, hardware is expensive. I have a great SSL X-Logic Stereo Compressor, which I use on my busses and it’s amazing. It just glues everything together!

In this picture on Fehrplay's instagram we can see him using an UAD Apollo

A photo Fehrplay posts of one of his Logic sessions reveals he uses FabFilter's Pro-Q Equalizer Plugin on most channels. From his Reddit AMA, when asked about his favorite plugins, he says, "Fabfilter pro Q, my most used plugin by far."

We spotted Fehrplay using the Waves IR1 Convolution Reverb Plugin in one of his Logic sessions.

The Waves IR-L Plugin can be seen used on a channel in Logic in one of Fehrplay's tracks.

"I really like the lexicon reverb bundle. and arturia synth pack"

Look closely at Fehrplay's open Logic session and you will spot he uses the Vengeance Producer Suite: Multiband Sidechain2 Plugin.

Spotted in Fehrplay's Logic project.

A video clip of a track preview reveals Fehrplay uses the Waves API 560 10-Band EQ Plugin.

In a video clip, Arturia's ARP2600 V Synth can be seen used by Fehrplay.

When asked what sample packs he would recommend for drums, Fehrplay says, "...the pack from Daedmau5 'xfer' is pretty good!"

"What synths I use for bass lines varies. But my go to synths atm are the vintage synth pack from Arturia. They are just huge, and so creative to work with. I also layer the synths alot, to try and make them as original as possible. I usually use to much processing (I'v been told) hehe. But normally its compression, reverb, eq, maybe another compressor, and a limiter. Its always different."

In response to "Bass/low end processing...fav plugin or trick?" Fehrplay says he uses the Waves Bass Rider Plugin, since it's "...pretty good on basslines with chord changes."

"...love the multiband compressor 'c6' from waves."

Fehrplay shows at 5:05 that he uses PSP VintageWarmer2 in his remix.

Fehrplay praises Cytomic The Glue in his studio session at 7:32 while working on a remix.

In this studio session video Fehrplay uses u-he ACE for his bass sound at 1:02.

“I love the Korg M1. I’ve got to say it’s the most beautiful-sounding soft synth I’ve ever had – it almost sounds like the real thing! It’s quality, and it doesn’t crash. Other than that I use some of the u-he synths – ACE for example is really good – and I’m trying to get into Xfer Records Cthulhu. It’s an arpeggiator and chord generator, and it’s pretty fun, but it’s still kind of Greek to me!

I use a lot of the Logic synths like ES2, ES M and ES P quite a lot, and they don’t use a lot of CPU.
