Zomboy's Gear
Throughout this video, Zomboy's Genelec 8040A speakers can be seen on his desk.
In a tweet, Zomboy mentioned creating "next level growl basses" using Ableton Live while collaborating with Skism.
In this video, the Apogee Quartet Audio Interface can be seen at 1:03 on Zomboy's desk as part of his studio setup.
In the song "pump it up", Zomboy uses several vengeance samples from Vocal Essentials Vol. 1. These samples are VVE 1 Vocal Oneshots 70 to 89. These samples are located in the following directory:
\VVE1 Vocals\VVE1 Vocal Oneshots
In an interview from 2011, Zomboy said, "Well, i’ve been producing music for about 4/5 years now, mainly engineering actual bands and artists not so much my own material. I started off using nothing but Cubase SX3 and Reason. But after a car accident and smashing my face up, i managed to get a nice little sum of compensation which i instantly used to invest in a nice big ol’ iMac along with logic and some other nice soft synths (NI Komplete)."
Since Zomboy uses the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4, it follows that he also uses Traktor Pro DJ software. In this video interview, you can see clips of him performing live. At 2:40 you get a glimpse of his laptop showing him running the software.
In the right hand side of this photo, posted on Zomboy's Facebook, a Dynaudio BM5A monitor can be seen on a stand next to his computer.
Zomboy hasn't spoke much about his mixers but all we can tell from live sets is that he uses a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ and a Pioneer CDJ-2000
What does your studio equipment consist of? When I'm actually at my bedroom studio I'm using a 27" iMac, logic, a billion 3rd party soft synths/ processors, axiom pro midi controller, M-audio profire 26/26 sound card and machine MR5 monitors. But realistically I'm usually just on my MacBook and a pair of headphones where ever and whenever possible!
What equipment/software did you use to start making music?

the Novation Mininova can be seen at 0:08 in Zomboy's studio
In this 2013 video interview with Zomboy, around the 2:53-2:56 mark you can see snippets of his live show, which show him using the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ Controller.
Pioneer CDJ-2000 in use by Zomboy in this photo. However it would seem he mainly uses the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 for his live shows.
At this masterclass session at ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music), Zomboy pulls up Xfer LFO Tool Plugin on the screen (0:37 into the video) to demonstrate how he sidechains.
He goes into some detail as to how he uses and gives a couple demos: "...It's literally only dropping out for about... 1/32 drop. But you can also change it to make it like your classic sidechain. I love the fact that this isn't affecting the audio at all. It's literally acting as a volume tool. You're not compressing it, you're not coloring it, you're not shaping it in any other way other than literally just using it as a volume automation... I don't use compression sidechain anymore now, I just rely on this [Xfer LFO Tool Plugin] completely. It's also not just good for that, it's a good filter, you can like... you can do some crazy stuff with it. It's a filter as well as everything else. Quite cool!
At 39:29, he says that he uses Beats Pros. He also mentions in an interview at http://societeperrier.com/blog/my-5-favorite-things-zomboy/ He says that he wrote, mixed and mastered the entire Dead Symphonic EP on these. (it was even on his Facebook comments but I lost the link).
In this photo, posted on Zomboy's Facebook, Zomboy has pulled Guitar Rig onto his screen in the left hand side of the photo. If you look closely at the bottom of the plugin, it says Guitar Rig 5 MFX, indicating that the version is Guitar Rig 5.
