Main System
Record and mix using Logic Pro and Apple's great collection of programmes plus a good selection of third party plug-ins from Izotope, Sonalksis, Celemony and others. Software instruments include Trilian (bass), EZDrummer (drums), Kitcore (drums) plus Apple’s own fine selection!
Record up to 16 tracks at once in conjunction with the Presonus DigiMax FS or even 32 when synced with the Roland VS2480 (now relegated to my back-up system). Good for mobile band recordings!
