Studio equipment


The home studio is running on a MacPro with external hard disc Promise RAID6, 20 TB, a Lacie back-up 16 Tb and Logic Pro X. We have an Apogee Symphony I/O 24 channel AD-DA converter, with Thunderbridge as well as a UAD Apollo16 which used mainly for mixing and mobile recordings. For demo recordings we provide a Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2 digital console in our basement studio with build-in pre-amps and converters to a MacBook Pro via Firewire. We have a top-level collection of pre-amps, sound processing gear, monitors, a 40-piece microphone set, etc.

We also provide mobile recording solutions. We recently acquired 3 pieces of Focusrite ISA428, each with 4 microphone pre-amps (1 with a build-in 8 channel AD-DA converter). Together with a 2 channel Audient Mico pre-amp with AD-DA and a RME Digiface this equipment is our go-to mobile recording set-up.

For performances and arrangements, we have a well maintained Blüthner acoustic upright piano, a SSL Logic SL90 Pro digital keyboard and a Roland RD-700 digital keyboard. High quality Sample Libraries are available for solo and section strings (NI String ensemble, Vienna Instruments), various horns (Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, Uhe, Toontrack, Sample Modeling, Vienna Instruments) and drums (Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 and EZ Drummer).
