In the interview: Interviewer: What specific tools could we find in your studio?

Dave Tipper: "It's a brutally simple setup on the exterior as far as hardware goes. I have a nice selection of monitors; A set of Focals with a matching sub for the everyday setup. A 7.1 configuration using Alesis monitors and a 5.1 configuration using a Monster audio setup. Then a Metric Halo ULN-8, which has great preamps, an external summing box, Access Virus, and a MIDI keyboard. I use a mixture of software and hardware, although the majority of stuff is done ITB."

Mr. Bill has stated on his podcast that Tipper now uses Serum for the majority of his synthesizer patches, using the Serum LFOs like step sequencers.

Tipper uses Ableton Live as his main DAW, having switched over to it from Logic with the aid of Mr. Bill, who spoke about it in a podcast with TVBOO - https://youtu.be/eMpGZvJmlxA?t=3897
