HARDWARE

IF YOU’VE TAKEN A LOOK AT MY GEAR LIST YOU’LL NOTICE I HAVE A ROOM FULL OF HARDWARE. I KNOW MANY OF YOU FEEL HARDWARE IS THE WAY OF THE DINOSAUR, BUT I FIND IT STILL HAS IT’S USES. WHEN I MADE THE SWITCH OVER TO SOFTWARE, I UNLIKE MANY OTHERS, NEVER GOT RID OF MY HARDWARE SET UP. AT THIS POINT I USE MY HARDWARE SYNTHS TO STACK ON TOP OF MY SOFT SYNTHS TO GET A FULLER SOUND WITH NO HIT ON MY CPU. I FIND MYSELF USING HARDWARE WHEN I WANT TO GET A DIFFERENT FEEL WITH MY MUSIC. I OFTEN USE MY HARDWARE EFFECTS AND DYNAMICS PROCESSORS AS INSERTS WHEN USING MY HARDWARE SYNTHS BECAUSE I LIKE TO STAY IN THE BOX ONCE I GET IT INSIDE THE COMPUTER:AGAIN SAVING ON CPU CYCLES. WHILE AT THIS POINT SOFTWARE DOMINATES MY PRODUCTION PROCESS I STILL FIND USES FOR HARDWARE. AND SINCE HARDWARE CAN BE HAD FOR CHEAP THESE DAYS (ESPECIALLY USED) I RECOMMEND PICKING UP A PIECE OR TWO AND SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU.
