Kaskade's Studio Equipment

Kaskade routes vocals from the mic into the Manley VOXBOX. He says "I think the Manley is cool because it can sound like not a lot is there, but you can easily add just a little bit of color. This combination is light, airy, has some character but isn't overbearing, and I always feel like the most important thing is to get a nice, clean sound that I can mess around with a little bit later."
