“So I’m no longer 100 percent in Logic. I also have a drum kit here, bass and guitar amps, a piano, a Mellotron M400, a Chamberlin, and a whole bunch of hardware synths, including Moogs, ARPs, an Oberheim Matrix 12, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Vako Orcherstron, Roland Jupiter 4 and Juno 60".

“My drum mics consist of two Coles 4038s for overheads, Shure SM57s on the snare top and bottom, AKG D12 on the kick, and during the recordings of Sia’s record I had Sennheiser MD421s on the toms, but now I have AKG C414s — the old, silver ones".

“I played my red Hagstrom bass on the entire album — in fact, I use it on 99% of the records I do. Sometimes it’s just DI’d, at other times I use my Ampeg B15S amp, on which I have this weird CAD E200 microphone. It’s similar to a Neumann FET47, but very inexpensive and it sounds good. It goes through a Helios Type 69 and then into an 1176."

"For electric guitar I used my 1960s Fender Jazzmaster a lot, and sometimes my Vox Phantom, and occasionally my 1966 Fender Telecaster. My main guitar amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb, and I record that with an SM57 and a Royer ribbon mic, going into my Altec 1567a, which submixes the two mics to one channel and then sends that through a Fairchild compressor. I record my piano with two AKG C414 mics, which go into two Chandler TG2 mic pres, and then into an Inward Connections Vac-Rac TSL4 tube limiter. I recorded Sia’s vocals with a Telefunken ELA M 251 — not a vintage one, but I’ve had it for a number of years — and that went through the TG2, into the Fairchild, and then the Apogee Symphony.”
