they always used to use very old, very elaborate hardware that was always breaking down
I can't recall many doctor-related issues in live situations that would fit into that statement. Besides you still can get replacement for most components very cheap on the second hand market. I bought my Akai a few years ago for <100€ in top condition and there's still stuff available in very good condition (cd-rom/zip drives..) that should last another decade or two - everything pretty cheap since noone feel the need to dig into this kind of vintage technology.

Of course there's no doubt that software solutions are way more portable but tbh I don't know how they could manage to fill three huge 19inch rack trolly's with stuff you can easy fit into a third of these rack units - probably a bit showcase there :lol:

presumably this is also why nurse is pretty much a permanent fixture on stage with them these days... ?

This is AVID pro Tools running there?
Looks like Steinberg Cubase to me, according to the coloring sceme and especially the Transport Bar in the bottom.

The man himself said in a radio interview with a NZ station (back when the original NZ - OZ gigs were still on a few months ago) that they now use Cubase. Out of the mouths of, eh,... Never mind. ;D

The many faces of the good Doktor, or the 'Beatz Bratz', to use the technical collective term. Not by any means an exhaustive round up here, but these are probably the Dok's prettiest incarnations. For me personally though, the more anonymous he gets visually, the better he sounds.

Nice gearpr0n by the way, Machine Regime! :notworthy:

Where's me Kleenex! :lol:

The second machine seems to be 'censored' a bit, of course that's the famous Roland TR 808...

It's a smorgasbord of vintage tech porn, alright. Speaking of which, yeah -clearly someone takes offence to the term '808' - maybe in machine code it's a highly offence remark about one's midi thru.

At the moment, I am mostly chilling to De Te Fabula Narratur live.

Wouldn't mind at all, Being - thanks. Always found the Doc's pic on the Wiki to be a tad odd and menacing, and therefore pretty cool - but I guess it's time for a change, eh?
