Complete Gear List
Often I’m asked what kind of software and other gear I use for my music productions and I felt compelled to compile this list for reference. Please ask questions if you have any.
- Logic Pro 9
Symphobia
WIVI Brass I
Evolve
EZDrummer
Steven Slate Drums
FM8
Kontakt 3
CineSamples Drums of War
CineToms
Tonehammer (various)
Evolve Mutations
Alti-Verb (industry standard reverb; despite what Space Designer does, this is better)
As you can see, I’m a percussion maniac. It’s my firm belief that one cannot ever have too many percussion samples or midi loops.
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything and since I’m working terribly hard at building my catalog, it’s been a bit tough keeping up. But this next one is something that will benefit anyone who uses orchestral strings in any DAW. This particular video was made for Logic, but the theory is the same.
Part 2
How to get a great mix.
This is one of the most elusive aspects of recording music. Even some professionally made albums, songs, and music scores can have a bad mix or be poorly recorded. I’m going to go over some of those pitfalls to avoid and how to avoid them using the least amount of money and effort as possible. After all, we’re trying to MAKE money with our music; not just spend it on gear, right?!
