Small is beautiful. Mihalis Safras shows us around his tiny studio.
Roland XP-80
The oldest item in my studio. Actually, this one was a gift but it still does it for me. I use it only to add some nice hardy strings in the background of tracks. What I hate about it is that it’s too large and boxy, but on the other hand it’s the total 2000s expansion synth.
UAD Satellite QUAD-2
I suggest this item to any electronic music producer. Simple Firewire connectivity for hardware emulation in your DAW. Great processing that gives extra warmth in tracks especially the CS-1 channel strip. Thumbs up – I use it 100% in all of my productions.
Toilet Paper
If I had to decide on one of my favourite items while I am in the studio, the hands-down winner is toilet paper! Yeah, do not laugh – there are multiple usages for this item. Besides that, paper is always useful, because you can use the base of it as a cable holder. You put the cables inside it and now you do not have the ‘octopus situation’ in your studio… Safras TIP 🙂
