Recording & Mixing

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: A combination of both. I think using great analog gear on the way in makes a huge difference in the overall sound of things. Contrary to that, I love how easy the digital world can make our lives as engineers.

A: U47, a pair of vintage 67s, a protools rig and a pair of headphones.
