People always ask about the gear. Here's what actually gets used — not what sits on the shelf looking cool.
The core of everything runs through a pretty minimal setup. A couple of synths, a sampler, and a DAW that hasn't been updated in two years because it works and I'm not touching it.
For vocals, it's a single condenser mic into a preamp with zero processing on the way in. Everything else happens in the box after the fact.
The philosophy is simple: fewer tools, deeper knowledge of each one. You don't need fifty plugins. You need to actually understand three of them.
