David Kahne has not only worked with those perennial big names such as Bruce Springsteen, Curtis Mayfield and Paul McCartney, but also mixes at the cutting edge of today's newest generation of music makers and breakers. These include the likes of The Strokes, Regina Spektor, New Order and Imogen Heap.
This is what David Kahne has to say about Sequoia:

"I've used all the software that I know of, including Logic, Digital Performer, ProTools, and Nuendo, and the
Sequoia software tops them all. What I've been looking for is software that compensates for latency in
plug-ins and bussing and mix down. When I got used to Sequoia enough to get a mix going, I compared it to all
the software I'd been working with over the last years I used a drum kit that I'd recorded on tape and had
digitized. I did mixes using 3 other products, using multiband compressors and eq's in the same configuration
in all the mixes. I did the same mix in Sequoia. When I compared mixes, I was astonished. The bottom, the
imaging, the apparent level - every element of the mix _ was superior in Sequoia. My first reaction was to
feel like I had mixed off tape. I heard no phasing whatsoever in the Sequoia mix. All the bells and whistles
aside in all the different products, what I really wanted was a mix that stays intact phase-wise. And I've
found that in Sequoia.
The bells and whistles are great in Sequoia too, by the way. The multiband compressor is
amazingly accurate and musical, and the eq just sounds like eq, not a phase shifter. And the pitch correction
plug-in is ridiculous. Great program!"
David Kahne and am-phibia:
"I had a bass part that was recorded with a DI because I had to record it quickly and didn't have an amp available. I wanted the sound to be rougher, so I put what I had through the Am-phibia plug-in. It amazed me. I could add just a bit of distortion, as if I were overdriving a Neve preamp a little bit. There was such a broad range of subtle distortion I could try. And in the bridge I cranked it up and first got a distortion that sounded like an overdriven bass amp, and then pushed it harder and got a bass that sounded like it was going into a Big Muff.
The interesting thing to me was that the distortions I was getting were so different from each other. They didn't sound like they were being made by variations inside the same plug-in, like some of the amp simulators sound; there's often an overall tone to distortion programs that creates a similarity between slight distortion and massive distortion. With Am-phibia, I felt like I was switching plug-ins to come up with other sounds.
I use Am-phibia constantly now I've even used it a couple of times across the stereo buss to add just a slight crunch, and it works perfectly.
