Q.1 Top favourite synth plugins / Kontakt libraries

 Answer: Reaktor, GetGood Drums, Output Analog Brass, Analog Strings, Una Corda, Operator & more.

 

1. Anything in Reaktor, mainly Razor and Monark – I think additive synthesis as a whole is really exciting and has a completely different tonality and chaotic vibe that I don’t get out of other synths. I’ve been using Razor since the beginning for a lot of my sound design and basses, etc. Monark is just an awesome Moog style VST that is great for layering guitars with which is really useful for me

2. GetGood Drums – Some of the best-sounding drums I’ve found that have so much variety. They really have live drums so dialed in it’s insane

3. Everything by Output, so Analog Brass and Analog Strings – Everything from Portal to Thermal for their post-processing power to the Synths is just perfection. So quick to use in getting ideas out.

4. Una Corda for PianoJust a great sounding piano.

5. Operator in Ableton – Just super simple and is really overlooked for its power and versatility I think. Some of my favorite producers have pulled off some insane shit just with operator.

Q.2. Top favourite Effects/Mixing/Mastering Plugins

Answer:  Trash 2, Decapitator, Little AlterBoy, Melodyne, Kilohearts & more.

1. Izotope Trash 2 – Incredible distortion plug in that just gives incredible inspiration really fast and can make something really bland feel fucking massive so quick which to me is important with how much I write.

 

This product is no longer available for purchase.

 

2. Soundtoys Decapitator– Another amazing distortion plug in, I really love it for saturating vocals.

3. Soundtoys Little Alterboy – Probably the gold standard plugin for formant shifting and pitch shifting vocals. Super fun to use.

4. Melodyne  – Vocal tuning but more so it’s insanely sick to use on basses and to really f*ck things up a ton!!
