Uhbik-A (reverb)
Fabfilter Volcano 2 (filter)
Fabfilter Timeless (tape delay, better than ohmboyz for some sounds)
Voxengo Tubeamp (nice free little distortion unit)
and most of all Fruity PEQ-2 (EQ!!!!)

if your soundcard doesn't have any sort of control panel I'd be very surprised.....If it doesn't I would swap it asap.

Can't go wrong with the KRK VXT series. My VXT-6's are well loud and produce bass well enough.

"I know it's probably posted in a sticky up the top"

Did you honestly think there was a hotlink in a sticky on the top to tell you where to pirate software?

There you go, that's where you get it.

Pianoteq sounds beautiful. Very expressive and realistic from the audio demos I've heard.

Simple answer? No, but they are cheap

im on the RP5's and I'm currently saving for the RP10s (Sub)

FIXED

I don't know, my VXT-6's sound lush. Not a fan of the RP-6s though.

Intense compression/limiting going on there. He brings his pads and atmospheres to the forefront rather than the background! Compress the shit out of reverb on your snares etc...I also find a lot of times that his samples are quite dirty, but his synths clear as fuck. Hope this helps.

Anyway, legit version of komplete here and everything runs smooth as hell. Save up some $ for massive, it's well worth it and it's not too expensive.

easiest sound to make in the world. Just a single saw/sine (or multiple if you're feeling saucy) with a bunch of portamento on it and some slight filtering.

Ive been producing with just them MonoMachine and MachineDrum for the last few weeks. I go through periods where I just use software or just use hardware, but usually use both. It does affect my output. The process always affects the outcome. Not in a bad way, just different.

my god I want both ...

Depends on what synths I'm using really....

Massive and Twin 2 I do it all from scratch. Absynth and FM8 I tend to use presets

Thanks again ! You rule :P

yea, hes good allright

on Night Vision (one of my favorite tracks ever :) ) , how did you do all the filter automation? Is it all recorded live or are you programming it? what synth/filter was it?

Seconded.

I play with this pretty often. While it doesn't sound perfect it's actually pretty cool.

I recommend staying away from the triggerfinger if you want to use this live. The knobs and sliders are small and break off easily.

I'm actually waiting for one of these in the mail right now:

Could you explain this process a little more please?

Big up for this, loving "For Me"

How many hours do you spend on a tune in a single session?

Where do most of your drums come from? Sample CD's? Sampling other tunes? Breaks?

Not this again. I could swear I just answered this question on the grid a little while ago :teeth:

I love LFOs, I just like them used more subtlely
