Studio Equipment & Instrumentation Overview

My studio is designed as a high-performance production and recording environment, focused on modern music production, sound design, and guitar-driven music. Every component is selected to ensure reliability, flexibility, and professional-grade audio quality.

Computer System & Performance
At the core of my studio setup is a New Dawe custom-built PC, optimized for intensive audio production tasks. The system is equipped with 64 GB of RAM, with a planned upgrade to 128 GB, allowing for large-scale projects and heavy sample-based workflows.
The computer runs on an Intel Core i7-14700K processor, providing excellent multi-core performance for real-time audio processing, virtual instruments, and complex mixing sessions. Storage is handled by a 1 TB M.2 SSD, with a future upgrade planned to 4–5 TB, ensuring fast load times and sufficient space for large libraries and projects.
Cooling is managed by a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos liquid cooling system, which guarantees stable performance and low noise levels during long studio sessions.

Software & Digital Audio Workstation
For music production, I currently use a licensed version of Cubase Elements 15, with an upcoming upgrade to Cubase Pro 15. Cubase serves as the main digital audio workstation, offering advanced MIDI functionality, audio editing, and professional mixing tools.

My setup includes an extensive collection of Kontakt 8 libraries, enabling a wide range of orchestral, cinematic, electronic, and hybrid sound design possibilities. This makes the studio suitable for composition, production, and detailed sound experimentation.

Audio Hardware & Control
Audio input and monitoring are handled by the Axe I/O audio interface, with plans to upgrade to a Quad Cortex Mini for expanded processing power and tone-shaping capabilities. This setup is especially suited for guitar recording and re-amping workflows.

For hands-on control and improved workflow efficiency, I use a PreSonus FaderPort 16, which allows tactile mixing, automation, and session control, bridging the gap between digital precision and analog-style control.
And  a launch pad mini to edit the drums 
I use beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 80 ohm  special For mixing and two studio monitors
Special For the Beyer Dynamic i use the beyer headphonelab vstplugin especially for omitting the low, high and mid frequencies
All the guitar plugins are neural Dsp for guitar and Bas Guitar 

Instruments
The studio is heavily focused on guitar-based music, supported by a diverse and professional instrument collection:
ESP LTD Viper 7-string
Custom-built 7-string Explorer (endorsement guitar)
Gibson Bullseye 6-string
BC Rich Pro X 6-string
Gibson Les Paul Green Edition 6-string
Jackson 5-string Bass – Dave Ellefson Signature
All my guitars and bass guitars, have active pickups, all Emg 6 and 7 string active pickups.


These instruments provide a wide tonal range, from modern extended-range sounds to classic and aggressive guitar tones, making the studio suitable for metal, rock, and experimental genres.

Conclusion
Overall, this studio is built as a future-proof, professional creative space that combines powerful computing, industry-standard software, high-quality hardware, and a versatile instrument collection. It is optimized for modern music production, recording, and sound design, with clear plans for further expansion and upgrades.
