“I probably ought to upgrade my Apple laptop, but I don’t actually use that much software, so it seems to be OK at the moment, really. I’ve got NI Komplete and the Arturia bunch on there... most of the stuff from Soundtoys. But it’s highly unlikely that you’ll ever find an Orbital song running 50 soft synths. The studio is full of analogue blunderbusses, so I might as well use them.”
