"We use both Mac’s & PC’s to create our stuff. Lots of Roland keyboards and samplers with lots of sample libraries. We use Digital Performer with a super fast Mac to do cinematics. We don’t use Pro Tools. Digital Performer does everything we need. We use Cakewalk on the PC to sequence our midi. I use 24 tracks of ADAT’s to record my music and I have a 32X8 Mackie console to mix. It’s not a huge massive setup. Everyone seems to think you need to spend millions of dollars to do this, but it’s just not true. Lately home recording gear and computers have made it real easy for the musician just starting out to get his stuff to sound really great for less money."

"My main software tools of choice are all PC based and consist of Sony Vegas, Sony Sound Forge, Cakewalk, Nuendo & GigaStudio. I have superfast PC’s which are the latest designs powered and built by both AMD & Intel. I’ve always preferred JBL speakers and Mackie mixing consoles. My keyboard controller is currently a Yamaha Motif – 8 which I really like. Oh yeah… and they don’t call it the Music BUSINESS for nothing! So two other widely used software programs are Excel & Word!"
