This preamplifier and compressor is underneath Mark's left studio monitor and Avalon Compressor in his video with Toolroom Records.

In this video, Mark Knights talks about both his and Toolroom Records' involvement in the development of the M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro USB controller. He can be seen working with it in his studio throughout the video. Mark says:

"When I was first introduce to Trigger Finger Pro, what got me excited about the product with the fact that you could get ideas down very quickly. It’s instant vibe. With other pad based controllers, they often had you jumping through their own hoops to get to the same point. With Trigger Finger Pro, it’s a lot simpler. With the 16 step sequencer and the pads, you always got options. The workflow works with you. When we realized this is a special product, we knew as Toolroom we really wanted to be involved in the development. What we wanted to achieve was to deliver a product that was loaded with the most cutting-edge, sonically dynamic sample lobbies on the market today. Both myself, and some of the leading talent here at Toolroom have worked really hard in the preparation to empower you with the tools to make a hit record."

”At the heart of the studio is a Prism Sound Orpheus chosen because of the quality of Prism Sound’s audio converters and mic pre’s.”

”The outputs from the Orpheus are then wired to a Thermionic Culture Phoenix stereo buss compressor and Avalon 747 EQ. This allows Mark to run his mixes through his outboard or buss out individual sounds for processing.”

”Working in conjunction with the PSI’s is a Trinnov ST2 Pro DSP room correction system. After an initial acoustic analysis of the studio performed by the Trinnov, the peaks and dips in the mid to lower end of sound frequencies which are so common in control rooms are levelled out by the DSP process within in the Trinnov.”

Mark Knight is listed as an artist using Focal's SM9 monitors on Focal's official website. They write, "DJ/producer and Toolroom Records founder, Mark Knight, has installed Focal SM9 monitors into his studio, replacing his much loved Focal Twins that he's used for the last couple of years. Apart from loving the SM9s in 'full range', Mark says that, with their Focus mode (2 way), he no longer uses his NS10 for referencing.??"

”For monitoring, after auditioning various speakers in his studio, Mark settled on PSI A25M’s active monitor speakers due to the translation of his mixes from studio to club.”

This compressor is sitting under Mark's left studio monitor in his video with Toolroom Records.

Hard to see, but in the screen you can see an effects chain below. Only Ableton works that way.

This synthesizer is in front of the computer monitor throughout most of this video.

While this synthesizer can be spotted behind Mark throughout the video, we can more clearly see the telltale Moog logo, screen, and other details at the 1:25 mark.
