Studio Gear

COMPUTER
PC-Motherboard Gigabyte Aero 12th gen Z690 LGA 1700 ATX    3.20ghz (unclocked, water cooled). Intel i9 processor. Firewire. It smokes!

Windows 10

Corsair RM750X 32g

Digital Audio Workstations - My primary DAW is Reaper. I also have Harrison Mixbus 32C, as well as Studio One. Although I don't use it anymore. I do have Protools 11 as well, but   hate it.

I do use a fair amount of plugins from various manufacturers,

Virtual Instruments as well. It would be rather lengthy to list.

VIDEO

​

Just food for thought, for anyone tracking. Bring the Kitchen sink with you. It's better to have it and not use it, than needing it, and not having it. Options are always

great, and there is plenty of room to pile it high.
