Paul van Dyk

"In terms of recording and producing music I have been using Logic since 1995," he explains in a recent video interview with Euphonix, "and when I first saw the Euphonix System 5-MC, this oversized remote controller, I was totally blown away, it's absolutely fantastic. You have the real feel of one of those big mixing desks. Music has a lot to do with feel and in order to mix it down properly you just need something like this."
