FOR MORE ON MY PROCESS, GET MY BOOK, $30 Music School<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n DAW:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Reaper 64-bit<\/a> (8th record on. LOVE it!) on Windows 10. (Record 8 on)<\/p>\n VSTis (many are 32-bit, because my Cubase was 32-bit, even though my computer is 64-bit. Now that I’m on 64-bit Reaper, I still run many of these 32-bit VSTs, when a 64-bit version\u00a0is not available): ^ This is an incomplete list. It’s too much work to keep updated. And sometimes I use a VST for one part of one song and never again, though I enjoyed using it. Going forth into Album 22, I’m not going to update my “I use these VSTs” list much anymore.<\/p>\n MASTERING<\/strong> -Lurssen Mastering Console<\/a> (6th album on, mostly use to quickly master rough versions to send Phil, but occasional use for a final master.). This is mainly what I use for final masters now.<\/p>\n -Elephant (first 3 albums) -Izotope Ozone<\/a> (7th album on, occasional use for a final master if LMC isn’t right for the song.)<\/p>\n —Reaper<\/a>, use for recording, but also for sequencing final albums as one file, equalizing volume between tracks, and putting cross-fades between tracks.<\/p>\n NO LONGER USING, DON’T WORK ON REAPER 64-BIT, or have other issues with ’em:<\/strong> Xen-Arts VSTs:<\/em> NO LONGER USING FOR OTHER REASONS;\u00a0<\/strong> Controllers:<\/strong><\/p>\n AKAI LPK25 keyboard<\/a>. Made the whole 15th record with this. Using going forward. Love it. Very small and portable, 52 dollars.<\/p>\n AKM320 micro keyboard<\/a>. Used on first record, gave away to Phil. He didn’t use it, and gave it back to me for the 8th record on. I actually like it. Using it most of the time on everything 8th record on. Doesn’t take up much desk space. And only 35 bucks!<\/p>\n M-Audio Keystation 61 II<\/a> (4th & 5th records, 11th record on)<\/p>\n ChromaCast<\/a> keyboard stand (with the Nektar IMPACT LX25, I put a board and a towel on the stand, and put the controller on that, which leaves room for a cat to sit!). Use with Keystation 61, (4th & 5th records, 11th record on).<\/p>\n Korg nanoPAD2 (1st through 10th record)<\/a><\/p>\n Nektar IMPACT LX25+ MIDI Controller<\/a> (6th and 7th record)<\/p>\n Sonnus G2MV3 Universal Guitar to MIDI Converter (first two records only)<\/a><\/p>\n M-Audio Keystation 49 II (first 3 records)<\/a><\/p>\n MICROPHONES:<\/strong> Audio-Technica AT2005USB Cardioid Dynamic USB\/XLR Microphone<\/a> (with foam windscreen<\/a>). for MWD and PW, first 4 albums, then 11th album on. Phil for all albums.<\/p>\n MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone<\/a> (with pop filter<\/a>). For MWD 5th album.<\/p>\n (Both mics with this Boom stand<\/a>.)<\/p>\n MICROPHONE CHANNEL STRIP<\/strong> I started using this about halfway through recording the 7th album, got rid of it after the 8th record.<\/p>\n ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER<\/strong> (Mostly for microphone for singing and talking) MWD used this for the first 7 albums. MWD and Phil both used this for the 8th album on:<\/p>\n BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC204HD<\/a><\/p>\n THEREMIN<\/strong> Gave away after the 7th record.<\/p>\n GUITAR<\/strong> HARDWARE SYNTH <\/strong> MIXING SPEAKERS <\/strong> Under those, I use; Studio Monitor Isolation Pads for 5” Inch Monitors<\/a><\/p>\n HEADPHONES<\/strong>
