Equipment
Recording
I recorded my first albums on analog tape, "Obsession" and the second Vision album "Till the End of Time" were done on Adats, around 1999 I bought a Pro Tools 24 plus system, but lately I have been working mostly with Logic Audio which I prefer. When it comes to recording I am a Mac freak. Windows is cool for office use but not for serious stuff if you ask me... Things were definitely not better in the old day. Tape machines needed lots of maintenance, Adats had lots of problems with the tape and the machines were far from perfect. With Pro Tools or Logic Audio things do go wrong too, I lost two weeks of work once when my computer crashed. I had to redo all the bass parts of "Condition Red" plus some other stuff. That was NOT funny. What did I learn? Always Back-up!

Amps
I have been using a German built Tube pre amp and separate tube power amp called Kitty Hawk for the last ten years when I retired my dusty Marshalls.I also have a 4 x 12" Cabinet of the same brand (used to have 2 cabinets) I must confess though that lately I have been using the POD XT quite a lot too as it's very convenient to get the exactly same sound twice.

Keyboards
Yes, I do a little bit of this too. My sound of preference is the original Hammond B3 which I don't have but I recently got a Korg B3 clone, which I am quite happy with. For analog sounds I prefer my Nord Lead, but recetly I have mostly been working with softsynths, mostly the stock ones that comes with Logic Audio.
