"I always try to make all the different parts audible. Sometime this is done with EQ to give the part its own space in the mix. For guitars, I love the Eddie Kramer Guitar Channel plugin. It has just the right EQ and compression, and if I want some reverb or delay, it’s there too. Sometimes I will add the CLA-76 to give it a bit more ‘spit.’"

"Also, I really love to take one of the rhythm guitar parts and distort it using the Manny Marroquin Distortion plugin. I‘ll use that in the center of the track and it really adds an awesome growl. I mainly use this trick in the choruses. With the Manny plugin, I can make the attack slow, so it enters like ‘gang busters’ and then falls right into place."

"Generally, with the drums, I start out with the SSL E-Channel, which has always been my go-to plugin. Then, I will usually add other compressors to the toms, like the CLA-76 or maybe the Waves dbx-160, depending on how the source sounds."

"Even though the SSL E-Channel is my go-to for most everything, I do grab the SSL G-Channel if I want to get a bit more aggressive. I miss having a physical plate, but the Abbey Road Reverb Plates plug makes up for it. I also love the Abbey Road Reel ADT and of course the J37 Tape – old-school saturation and delays!"

"[My brother] Chris has plugins?! Of course I use Chris’s plugins! CLA Vocals is one of my go-to’s, and CLA Bass is one that I use if I’m unhappy with the bass sound given to me."

“Every so often a piece of gear comes out that inspires you. I was quite happy with my Apogee Symphony Mk II 2×6 for my 96k printing rig. It sounded great and worked perfectly right out of the box, but then I got the 2×6 SE card and was blown away and how great it sounds! The 2×6 SE inspires me on a daily basis, knowing that what is coming out of my console is getting to the listener EXACTLY the way it sounds at my studio!”
