Marty: "My main tools are the Emu E4XT Ultra, and Proteus 2000, Roland JD-990, and XV-5080, and the Kurzweil K2500X. I've got a ton of plug-ins for Pro-Tools and Digital Performer. I haven't switched over to an entirely software based studio but I probably will at some point. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways, and sometimes the old guys are just lazy."
