 Levine confessed that he doesn 't use any hardware and rarely uses plugins. He says "my favourites are the McDSP FilterBank for my EQ, the Waves Rvox and Renaissance Compressor as my compressors, the [Waves limiter] L2, and my favourite reverb is [Avid ’ s venerable plug ‑ in] D ‑ Verb. I also use [Line 6] Echo Farm, Sound Toys Echoboy, and, well that ’ s pretty much it. I have many plug-ins, but I don't really use them." He said "I ’ ve tried convolution reverbs, but they don ’ t really work. They sound cheap." However, he also stated that the Avid Reverb One sounded substantially better than Altiverb to him.
