I just took delivery of a bunch of gear to revitalise my studio. It’s going to take a bit or rework in the studio, and means some old gear being sold, but that’s ok. Might as well get some cash back for gear I no longer use.

The only issue becomes when I want to recreate an old track. If I sell the gear I won’t be able to recreate them entirely.... but keeping the stems and draft mixes does mean I can rework them, and I am satisfied with that!

There are two new keyboards:

• A Nord Grand (the playability of this make it the best piano I have ever played, and the quality I’d the sounds? Unbelievable)
• Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61, as a controller keyboard.

Sound wise, Nord aside, I have the Komplete Select that came with the S61 and an Output bundle of all their instruments. Tasty.

Just now I have set up the basics to enable me to play with my Nord.I will continue ripping gear out and replacing it.

In addition to the music gear, I have invested a little in lighting, mic etc for better quality audio and video recordings. This includes live streaming. I still need to get the primary camera but plan on ordering it soon.
