ooo sweet ok.. which VST's do u use so i can illegally download them and not have a clue how they work
no really, what software / hardware do u use.. especcially what did u use to make east end thug???
Im using Ableton Live these days, it used to be Cubase VST5 for writing and Logic Pro for mixing down.
I still use Logic for mixdowns now and again, depending what sound im after (east end thug being an example)
I use Wavelab 4 for all audio editing.
Soundcard is a MOTU 828 << which I have to say I dont like that much, but cant afford a new one.
Hardware wise Im not using as much as I used to, main bit of kit being the Novation Supernova 2 synth. Although to be honest these days I tend to record it and then use the samples.
I still have an Ivory 5021 compressor and an Aphex exciter, but other than that im not really using anything else. The odd guitar pedal here n there, normally Boss ones.
My current speakers are a pair of shitty Alesis monitor ones, which are ok for the room Im set up in, but compared to my old scanspeaks they dont give me the same clarity. But the scanspeaks are way too big for my room now, one of the pitfalls to moving your studio home. The other not having the daily access to all the various hardware that comes through the door.
Back to the software I tend to stick with plugins I like and not use much else, personal favourites though are... in no particular order
PSP Vintagewarmer
Audio Damage Crush compressor
Waves R4 EQ <<< although this i use mainly for cleaning sounds, otherwise i normally just use stock EQs
TC Native Reverb
Ohmforce plugins all day long <<< if you want to make jawbreaker style drums the secret lies here
Synthwise just the Native Instruments FM7
Absynth
Vanguard
to be honest these dont get used too much
most of the work is sample based, used to use Halion as my main sampler but since using Ableton have been using the package Sampler and Impulse which are really good.
