"I use my Distressor all the time. I’m going to buy a second one so I can use one for the kick drum and one for the bass," says Riva Starr, in this article.

"I use this for drums. I don’t like to put compression on the whole mix. I’d rather work properly on compressing the drums, bass and kick, then go into a good limiter and leave all the extra work to the mastering," Riva Starr says of his SSL G Series Compressor, in this interview.

"It still sounds so good. For basically the first two years of Riva Starr productions, all the synth sounds and the bass came from this," Riva Starr says, in this article.

At 14:02 of his Producer Masterclass with Point Blank Academy, Riva Starr comments - "I use Ableton as a sequencer and I do the mix downs on my mixer". He can also be seen using Ableton throughout the video.
