What I don’t own by myself, I can organize. I love SM57s, the rock! …and I love ribbon microphones, they are good to your ears. Room microphones are my personal favourite to make a performance real.

I prefer using real instruments than plug-ins. The haptic feeling, advatages and disadvatages have an impact on your performance. I have a lot of percussions, keyboards, guitars etc. Also what I don’t own by myself can be organized within hours.

Of course, I love mixing „in the box“. Plug-ins nowadays are sounding so good and it saves so much time with total recall and automations. I want to get most of my sound already before the recorded track. Choosing the right equipment, microphone, preamp etc. makes already 90% of the sound. The roughmix should give you already the true impression of your performance. Where you wanna go from there is a creative choice and it seems with software effects there are so limits. But there are many things a computer can hardly simulate, especially „dirt“. That’s why I built a complete hybrid surface with a Dante Network to work with all analog and digital gear simultaneously.
