Known to have what is arguably the best delay plugin on the market in Echoboy, The Soundtoys collection also contains the best virtual distortion units available in the third party plug-in world with Decapitator, with Devil-loc and Radiator being top quality distortion plugs as well. This preset pack contains 25 Delay focused presets, 20 Distortion presets, & 5 Vocal FX presets. Let’s just say it was just to make a statement, because in the end I’ve barely used it, and to be honest I’m more of a TR-909 fan.50 Presets for the Soundtoys 5 Effect Rack Plugin which contains and allows for all of the sound toys plugins to be linked together and routed in different ways. My Roland TR-808 – it was totally not worth it. What’s been the biggest investment in your studio? Was it worth it? I wanted to destroy the sound and then shape it and control it. I created an effects rack that contains OTT, Ableton’s Saturator (in wave Shaper mode), Limiter, OTT again, and then some EQ in that order. The kick of the title track We are the Soldiers is definitely the one element that I like the most. That’s usually when the magic happens.ĭo you have a favourite piece of sound design on the record? How did you create it? I try to have no rules so sometimes it can get quite chaotic but I love being surprised by mistakes.
Then I use Slate Digital’s Infinity EQ and some different distortions (a lot of it) and experiment with different types of compression and sidechain. I usually take a day and only create kicks by layering first in four parts: high kick, mid kick, body kick, and low rumble. I don’t have a typical technique for kicks. Nowadays, music is so fast with trends and genres, so you need to adapt with it. I don’t want vinyl deadlines to be something that can slow down and limit the process of organic creation.
I plan to have something out every 8-10 weeks.
It’s mainly all digital releases but I’ll also still put out some on vinyl but limit the vinyl pressing numbers to alleviate the pressure of vinyl deliveries. I started my new label No Pain No Game last June to release music whenever I wanted to, giving me total freedom when it comes to creation. What freedom has that given you and what challenges have you faced thus far? You’ve released your last two records on your own label. I even had time to finally work on another pop side-project and gain more knowledge about music production. Although a lot of my colleagues found it hard to produce music at the beginning of the pandemic, I felt a kind of relief so everything was flawless.
After almost one year of lockdown, I finally had the time to sit down in the studio and focus on my sound and how I wanted to shape it. The funny thing is, I used to be shy about playing my music in front of crowds but since the lockdown, I became more confident with it. Hi Antigone! How does it feel to be able to play your new music out at clubs after the last year or so?
