Randy Wight

I have become a mimic of most traditional progressive rock instrumentation, and have been honing my emulative skills as a MIDI keyboardist since the mid 80s. It is my deepest aspiration to produce not just convincing tracks, but rather totally authentic reproductions of the axes from which my inspirations continue to be born. On drums, enter a hybrid amalgamation of carefully selected multi-samples from Best Service Artist Drums and Quantum Leap Stormdrum executed in real-time from my MIDI keyboard using a custom key layout via NI Kontakt. On Electric Bass, please welcome a collection of multi-sampled Fender Jazz, Precision and Ernie Ball basses fed through IK Multimedia’s Ampeg SVX. My Electric Guitar impersonations are comprised of a strategically programmed Paul Reed Smith Custom and processed by a host of virtual amps, cabinets and effects ranging from Nomad Factory’s Rock Amp Legends to NI Guitar Rig. My piano comes courtesy of a Kawai MP 9500 and organs by way of NI B4 II. The rest of my sonic palette is delivered through a vast collection of nearly every available hi-end virtual instrument available to date. I capture my voice by way of an Audio Technica 4050 large diaphragm condenser processed through Waves virtual SSL 4000 console strip. I use Steinberg Nuendo for MIDI sequencing and Magix Sequoia for multi-tracking and mix down.
Quoting myself, "you don't have to use industry standard gear (Pro Tools enthusiasts) to achieve above industry standard results."
