Hi-Tek has used and expressed preferences for various types of equipment throughout his career as a producer. Here's a list of what he metions in the interview and where to get this gear:

• Akai MPCs Hi-Tek considers the MPC 60 and MPC 3000 to be his "weapon of choice" and expresses a preference for them. He mentions taking his MPC 60 on Greyhound trips to New York. Marco Polo notes that Hi-Tek has his MPC 3000 "decked out". Hi-Tek was "anti" the MPC 2000 because he found its sound "too punchy" and "choppier".
• Ensoniq ASR-10 Hi-Tek has expressed jealousy over the ASR-10, stating he "couldn't get that sound" from it. Notably, Dr. Dre would tell Hi-Tek that his best beats were made on the ASR.
• Turntables He regards the Technics 1200 turntable as "special" and "the next level of that professional" turntable, noting that they "still hold their value for a reason". He even tried to "break into this club to get these turntables" when he was 13 because he wanted them "so bad".
• Synthesizers Hi-Tek used the Motif 6, MS2000, and Korg MS for synth sounds in his productions.
• Storage Devices He still possesses zip drives but is in the process of transferring their content to an SD card.
• Instant Replay Hi-Tek used an Instant Replay machine for drops and samples, particularly for radio. He describes it as having "scream sounds" and being reliable until it unexpectedly crashed during a show.
• Recording Mediums The "whole first part of [his] career was all two inch tape," and he still possesses those tapes. He valued the "warmth" of tape, noting that it "can't be really duplicated" by other methods.
• Mixing Equipment He has worked on mixing boards or consoles in various studios, including Chung King studio. He also built his early studio setup around a console after observing another producer's setup.
