Studio

DAW Software

Logic Studio - My main workstation.
FL Studio - For quick ideas and beat creation. Fastest piano roll ever.
Ableton Live - Trying something different. Logic is still my favourite though.

Audio Editor

Sony Sound Forge - I stick to version 8.

Synths

Lennar Digital Sylenth1 - I use this very much.
Tone 2 Saurus
Native Instruments Massive
FXpansion DCAM Synth Squad
Tone 2 Gladiator - For that in your face stuff.
Tone 2 Electrax - Fantastic synth.
Synapse Audio Dune - Sounds great.
reFX Nexus 2.0 - Think Avicii...
Rob Papen Subboombass - Going down deep...
Spectrasonics Trilian - Fantastic for both realistic bass and synth bass.
U-He Zebra - This is a must have.
U-He Ace - Another instant classic from Urs Heckmann.
U-He Diva - Haven't used it yet;-)
Drum samples etc from Wave Alchemy and others.
Presets from Rob Lee, Freshly Squeezed Samples and Adam Van Baker, although I tweak them a lot and also make my own.
All the Logic Synths.

Software Effects

Steven Slate Digital FG-X
Fabfilter Pro-L
U-He Uhbik - Almost all the FX you need.
Audiodamage Dubstation - Nearly all my delays and echo effects comes from this one.
Sugarbytes WOW - A great filter.
Vengeance Philta XL - Another filter...
Vengeance Multiband Compressor
Rop Papen RP-Delay and RP-Disort
Tone2 Warmwerb, AkustiX Enhancer and Bifilter
Logic Studios ships with many great effect plugins too. I use them a lot.

Hardware

Obviously a keyboard, speakers, computers and a working pair of ears. I'm the proud owner of no outboard gear at all. I have bought the software I use, I hope you do the same.
