Stuff

Sometimes you really need to know about the stuff we use to make things sound good. So here’s a big list of stuff. Soundpark Studios provides a nice selection of some of the best of both the analog and the digital sound palettes. And if you want to bring a favourite piece in with you, hooking up to the ‘guest gear’ area of our patch bay couldn’t be easier!
