What do you mean by "producer?"

People who make music? People who help people make music?

I am a maker of music and I help other people make music from time to time. All I need is a piano to make music. But I do have a fairly extensive collection of gear. I don't really have gear lust anymore. I went through a period where I was always craving the latest gadget ... in the end I realized that all you really need is the talent.

My lists ...

Live:

I play three keyboards live; two of which are through a laptop.

HP Pavillion DV9500t with two internal 7500 RPM hard drives.
- Sonar 6PE
- EW Colossus
- Sampletank 2.5
- NI B4
- Presonus Firebox (and Radial Pro D2 direct box)
- Yorkville KB200 (www.yorkville.com; discontinued) and GK2x12 extension speaker (http://www.gallien-krueger.com/, also discontinued)
- M-Audio Keystation 88es (got tired of carrying a weighted keyboard).
- Korg CX-3 and Evolution UC33e
- Oberheim OB12
- Dimebag Darrell Crybaby from Hell(I painted mine blue because I can't stand "camo")
- Sole-Pressure Distortion pedal

I run mono (I use the stereo direct for two different sound sources).
