Professional Equipment

I come from a background of working in the analog studio. During my studies and for about four years afterward, I worked on recordings and mixes in an entirely analog environment. That period gave me a deep familiarity with the recording process, the signal chain, working with outboard gear, and the analog approach to mixing.

The move to digital work

Later I moved to working with Pro Tools, after studying with one of the software's distributors, at a time when Pro Tools was still relatively new in the Israeli market.

Over the years I've combined several different work environments:

• Logic Pro - most production work and the early stages of a project.
• Pro Tools - mix work and the final stages of production.
• Ableton Live - about three years ago I moved to working with Ableton Live to enjoy a more comfortable, flowing production environment. I connected strongly with its workflow, and over the past year I've started using Ableton Live for mix work as well.

Audio interfaces

I like working with audio interfaces from manufacturers I know and trust for their results:

• Digidesign
• Focusrite
• RME
• Universal Audio (UA)

Over the years I've achieved excellent results with these interfaces, so I pay close attention to signal chain quality and don't compromise on interface and conversion quality.

Microphones

When it comes to microphones, I especially like working with:

• AKG
• Beyerdynamic
• Neumann

The choice of microphone is made according to the character of the source, the recording environment and the result I'm looking for.

My approach to equipment

Even though I now work in a digital, modern environment, I'm still very connected to analog gear and its approach.

I especially love the character, depth and workflow of classic analog equipment, and I try to combine the advantages of the analog approach with the flexibility, precision and possibilities offered by a digital work environment.
