"As for software reverbs, I have made some of my own impulses for Space Designer in Logic, primarily trying to capture the very elusive sound of out-door spaces such as forests."

In this interview, Robert Rich discusses 2CAudio Aether.

"Here is my main studio setup these days: Macintosh computer, Otari 8-track and Soundcraft mixer, Yamaha DX7II and TX81Z, Ensoniq EPS16+, Korg Wavestation, Sequential Prophet 5 and SixTrack, Casio CZ101, Lexicon reverbs, Eventide H3000, delays and other procesors, steel guitar, bamboo and clay flutes, percussion, etc. etc."

"I have a nice private studio with good mics, a Mac G3 running CuBase (and older Mac running an old version of ProTools), Mackie d8b mixer, analog and digital synths including a nice new modular synth (MOTM by Synthesis Technologies), piano, etc."

"My live setup is mostly the sampler, Wavestation, sometimes the DX7, a small mixer, long looping delays, echoes and reverbs, homemade flutes and steel guitar. In the studio I have ProTools, a piano, a few additinal synth modules (rarely used), an Eventide H3000, some nice reverbs, good microphones, lots of percussion, odd stringed instruments, things like that."

"There’s a prototype World module there, because I did a lot of presets for the World module. A lot of the Proteus 3 samples are mine. In payment I got the prototype."

"Mostly Eventide H3000, and Sony R7 reverb and D7 echo, TC Electronics M3000, and various old retro DDLs and flangers and stuff. I still have my old Delta Labs 1024, which is still one of the best flangers."

"I found that I couldn’t really make good music at CCRMA. I just could not think musically while writing computer programs to make the sounds. I got much better work done at home with my cheap modular synth, a Prophet 5 and a Revox B77. I’ve been a home-recordist at heart since the beginning, I guess."

"I was using a Lexicon PCM 60 since 1984 when it came out, until the late '90s."

" I also use a Lexicon MX400 a little bit, but only for its surround dual-reverb algorithm to add glue to surround mixes. My problem with the Lexicon sound is that it tend to get muddy, although I love the richness."
