"I’ve got an old Mackie analogue desk, a 32:8 bus. I use Apogee digital converters. I’ve got a huge amount of microphones which I’ve collected over the years, mainly from working in studios and remembering which microphones I really liked the sound of. I do a lot of experimenting with mics and placement. I’ve got a huge live room at home, which I’m lucky enough to have. I’m placing different mics at different distances. It all gets recorded into Logic Pro on a Mac. Then I’ve got the chance to fiddle around with the effects, the delays, the phase reversals, things like that. But I very much want to get a performance and a whole track down."

In this interview, Gavin Harrison says he uses Shure SM57 microphones to record snares: "I use the '57s on the snare drum both top and bottom. They're a cheap all-round mic, but everyone uses them."
In this Sound On Sound interview, Gavin Harrison explains about his "Line 6 POD guitar preamp.": "They're so bloody cheap! I haven't got an amp stack and I wouldn't know what would be good settings, so the POD presets are a good starting point for me," he explains. "If it was going to end up being something pretty serious I would get a guitarist round to play it."

"I’ve been using Logic for about fifteen years but my studio at home has just slowly evolved over the last ten. Pretty much I’ve had the same desk and the same microphones for the last ten years, but the recordings have got progressively better as my experience has gotten better – nothing more really than just experience and experimentation. Moving microphones slightly, changing EQs slightly, tuning the drums differently and just, you know, moving towards a better drum sound over the years. [Fear of a Blank Planet] is probably a better recording than Deadwing was, as my experience engineering got better."
