"I also have gear by Neve and Helios, UA-610 mic pres, API 3124s, the Vertigo VSM2, GML EQ, the Alan Smart C2, an old LA2A, Distressors, an Eventide H8000, and so on."

“As for the gear racks, I have a whole load of 500–series preamps, and quite a bit of Thermionic Culture stuff like the Earlybird, the Culture Vulture and the Phoenix. I love their stuff: it imparts an analogue character that plug–ins have difficulty emulating."

On the "Duet Artists" section found on Apogee's website, Rik Simpson can be seen with an Apogee Duet 2 USB Audio Interface. He says, "I’ve recorded the last 2 Coldplay albums through Apogee converters and always have a ONE and a Duet out on the road with me, enough said…" (source)

"The Abbey Road Kits sound truly vintage and authentic. Unlike a lot of drum sample based instruments they don't dominate the mix, instead leave space for the music to breathe."

"REV was hard to top, Output might’ve just done it tho!"

"Signal’s the best way to get arpeggiated and syncopated ideas down."

"HalfTime is awesome — another great addition to the team. I’m really enjoying the rhythms and textures I’m getting from it!"

Rik Simpson endorses HalfTime on the official product webpage, giving the above quote.

"My main monitors here are Barefoot MicroMain 27s and Augspurger Duo 8 Mini Mains. I discovered Augspurgers in the States. My favourite rooms there have them as main monitors, and they have that vintage American sound. There’s nothing over–hyped, no big smiley curve, but a lot of detail in the mid range. I then heard these smaller Augspurgers, and they are amazing."

“The Eggs not only look cool but sound cool too. They’re crisp, yet also have plenty of ‘oomph’ in the low end. A great non-fatiguing near/mid field set of speakers.” The Monitors appear throughout the video but the quote is from the MunroSonic testimonials section. http://www.munrosonic.com/testimonials/
