Earlier this year I decided to overhaul my studio. There were a few reasons I did this:
1) I am an internet addict. I often found that when I was working on music on my laptop that I would suddenly be tempted to open facebook or my email and next thing you know I would be watching talking cat videos for the next hour.
2) Tactility. In this day and age of virtual existence, I find myself really needing more hands-on experiences. I grew up playing guitar and so this gave me the ability to return to a more traditional way of working with music.
3) Hardware has limitations. The problem with using software synths is that you tend to have an unlimited supply of them and so it's really hard to limit yourself to one or two and just learn them inside out. I wanted to give myself limitations and so I picked a few piieces of gear and really spent alot of time trying to get the most out of them.
4) Live PAs. In this day and age EVERYONE and their grandmother is a dj. Most people have access to the same music and it's not rare to see an opener and a headliner playing 90% of the same music. I really believe that live PAs will be way of the future for producers that want to provide a unique, ever-changing experience for people that come to see them. This setup, as you will see, lends itself to live reproductions."
