The Studio
A Brief Important Statement: The computer is the heart of my studio, which gives me virtually unlimited digital track recording capabilities! Although I use analog gear for warmth and vintage effects, the magic I do is "tapeless". I am Mac based and the core of my investment and knowledge is in virtual software.
