Recording Studio Gear | My Secret Weapons of Recording, and Mixing

In this episode, I talk about thee pieces of my favorite recording equipment and how I use them in my recording studio.

I'm not usually one to talk about gear, and I think that the focus of your recording studio should always be on the music and creative process. However, having a few aces up your sleeve doesn't hurt either, and these three items of my studios are some of my best kept secrets.

My recording process with musicians is one that is very hands on. I like to use a lot of reamping of guitar when I do guitar recording. I also like to do a lot of hands on effects when I mix a project, rather than use a lot of built in plug ins for presets for sounds. I like to create and recording sounds that are unique to me, and the bands that I record. So these three items are really tailored to play to my strengths and my style of recording.

I think that these three pieces of gear do more for my studio, than 98% of the rest of my equipment. Part of the reason, is that each of these items can make a huge difference in the sounds that I'm recording in the studio, and the end result that I am able to get when I'm mixing.

Do you have a favorite piece of recording gear that you like to use? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
