Studio's of the Pros on Music Radar

Lots of simple and focused setups. Loved the one guy Tim Simenon that used to own a room full of hardware and now he gets 90% of his sounds from a Minimoog and the rest from software.

 

Plus, I always get a "yesssss" screaming in my mind when I see people using cheapo stuff - like Stardust who did an entire very successful track, with the Alesis 3630 as the only compressor on vocals and the track itself.

 

Edit: ha! spotted the 3630 in Morgan Page's studio as well... under his Avalon preamps.

 

Anyway, it's pretty cool to see how everybody has different approaches and some synths that a lot of people here seem to not like much (like the Prophet 08) are used a lot nowadays.

Yeah, the 3630 is one of those pieces of gear that just about everybody uses or has used. I've had mine about 18 years, and I have no complaints.

 

It's also still in production, unchanged, which is unusual in this business.

Seen it a few times in England but never used it. What's its' specialty?

No specialty really. It's just a very, very cheap compressor made by Alesis, so cheap you really don't have an excuse not to have one - at least that's what one of the "pros" said in one of the photo sets ;)

 

But it was really made famous by Daft Punk, being their sidechain compressor of choice in the old days.
