"The guitar is DI'd through a GP8 guitar processor and goes via a couple of modules from the original Manor desk; the compressor module is used to really squeeze the Strat sound. You want the guitar to still sound like a guitar-but I might put some flanging underneath, as well as dense, long echo. I'll also use the Eventide Harmonizer on rnost of the sampled guitars. All the guitar parts are DI'd using a processor-miking up an amp is OK for some styles, but I've been using a processor for the last few years and find that I get more precision-more control. It's also more practical when the studio is being operated by one person."

"My existing effects all have digital inputs and outputs because the studio is all-digital, other than a few front-end devices. One of the units is a TC M5000, which gives me reverb and pitch change, and then there's an Eventide 4000 Harmonizer which just sounds right, as well as being easy to use. Other than that, there are just one or two delays used for echo, flanging and that kind of thing and of course, a Lexicon reverb."

Mike Oldfield's studio was "based around a Neve Copricorn desk and a Sony 3348 digital multitrack machine" in 1995.

C-Lab Notator was used on Mike Oldfield's Earth Moving, according to the liner notes.

"I use a Mac G4 for my music because Pro Tools (a digital audio software package) has always been Macintosh-based. But for the internet and graphics, I use the PC. I just flick between the two on my plasma display."
