What kind of equipment does Alan use in his studio/on the road?
A. For A Valid Path, he used Steinberg’s Nuendo on a dual processor PC running Windows 2000 and Steinberg’s proprietary digital converters. He used both the audio recording and MIDI sequencing facilities in Nuendo. His favorite synth is Yamaha’s Motif ES, which he used extensively on the latest album. He used a Yamaha 02R for monitoring, but most of the digital mixing and processing was done through Nuendo and a Houston Controller. He made good use of plug-in programs by Native Instruments, Waves and Universal Audio among others. On stage he currently uses a Gibson jumbo acoustic, a Motif ES and a Roland VS-1824 hard disc system.
