052 - Marc Edwards

Furniture and hardware:

• An incredibly standard and old IKEA desk
• A yoga ball as a seat
• Mac Pro
• Pro Display XDR
• Magic Mouse
• Magic Keyboard

“I’ve tried almost every type of seat over the years, and I find a yoga ball the most comfortable. If nothing else, it forces me to keep moving. I like having a pretty boring and dark work environment to help keep focused, and ensure colour accuracy throughout the day.”

Podcasting and music production gear:

• Emagic AMT8
• Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre
• Sennheiser SMB7
• Triton Audio FetHead

“The AMT8 was purchased new about 20 years ago. Good audio gear lasts forever. If you have a Sennheiser SMB7, the FetHead is a great companion — it helps increase volume and reduce noise.”

Software:

• Design tools: Illustrator, Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, Affinity Designer, XD
• 3D: Cheetah 3D, Blender
• Text editors: Nova (HTML/CSS), Byword (Markdown), Sublime Text (GLSL shaders, C++)
• Git Tower
• Soulver
• Xcode
• Processing
• Screenflick
• Dash
• Logic Pro X

“I do my best to work across as many design tools as possible. They all have something to offer, and I feel it’s important for me to know them all well. Tower’s my favourite Git client. Soulver is absolutely amazing as a calculator scratch pad. I am doing my best at learning Blender, but mostly failing right now, so I keep falling back to Cheetah 3D. Screenflick is the best screen recorder I’ve found. Dash gives you quick and offline access to reference documentation.”
