When I was THIRTEEN years old MY DAD BOUGHT ME AN Amiga 500.
Then someone INSTALLED Octamed. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
Those were the days. Four tracks of audio and floppy disks full of samples. Hard work but a great way to learn.
Since then I've produced on numerous DAWs: Reason, Cubase, Korg Gadget, Logic Pro and most recently Bitwig Studio, and each one brings its own style, its own flavour.
The addition of hardware synths and drum machines has made the creative experience even more engaging. Getting hands on is so much fun.
Here's my current studio setup. Please don't rob me.
