Thousands of pounds of hardware equipment does not make a great producer.

“I could sell all of the equipment in the studio tomorrow, i couldn't give a shit about that stuff anymore because all of the new album came from my sample sources and the laptop running Reason and those few pieces of kit I mentioned, which is about as technical as it got — and about as technical as it should get.”

He was making much better stuff when he was still using the hardware though tbf.

for sure, it just sounds like overly layered plastic to me know - same with a lot of dnb these days too.

I wouldn't go that far, its what you do with it that counts. Its just the fashion to fill out every day frequency possible. I'd really like to get an Akai & an Emu but it'd be a pain in the arse incorporating it in to my set up, but i guess that is one of the reasons that its mostly software these days.

Yea i must say i do majorly prefer DnB in the days b4 everything was digital, an i would defo rather have more hardware in my studio than ive got. But i do think knowing ya way around what ever software or hardware uve got can make a big difference compared to having loads of sick equipment an knowing just a little on each, we have a fair few friends that have thrown soooo much money into all sorts in there studio an aint gotta clue wot they are doin on half of it an end up making fuck all lol.

1 thing ive been looking at for a while tho is the "liquid mix", heard its a proper nice bit of kit for the money, anyone got or used 1?

Defiantly worth the money if you can afford it, no more cpu being rinsed on plug in's, if you've got alot of hardware running through firewire then it garuntee's some cool runnings
