Studio
“With Ableton everything is immediate. You think and you act, and in two seconds it is done.”
“Although it is easy to do automation in Ableton, we maybe prefer Pro Tools for mixing”
“We use MIDI keyboards, and the Ableton Push 2, and that makes you play things differently.”
“I also have the Push 2 and a Focusrite Clarett Thunderbolt I/O.”
“It is a vibe machine and we use it for everything.”
“It is the go-to box for recording the analogue synths through”
“With the Small Stone it sounds like it's straight out of a Bee Gees record from the late '70s.”
Plugins
“the Massive sound is an 'Electric Lead' guitar, which we treated with an Echo Boy delay and the EQ Eight.”
“The plucked sound consists of one sound from Native Instruments' Massive and one from D16's LuSH-101, the Roland SH-101 emulation.”
“We use many soft synths and samplers for our sounds, U-He's Diva and the LuSH-101 being particular favourites.”
“We then added a couple of pads, from [reFX] Nexus VST, to enhance the chords”
“and then a bass sound from the OB-Xd Oberheim emulation plug-in”
“some samples from Kontakt, like an mbira, a Celtic harp, and finally a marimba at the end”
“It just involves the Ableton Simpler.”
“Ableton's Glue compressor, which is an SSL 4000 clone”
“The Ozone has become the standard for a lot of electronic music, it adds a special sound that we like.”
“so we added [Antares] Auto-Tune to control that a little bit”
“then we had the 2C B2 reverb, set to a 'Cascade Space' setting”
“the Plug-in Alliance Maag EQ, because we like its air band function”
“We use the v2 all the time on vocals to notch out difficult frequencies.”
“then a SoundToys Echo Boy, an Audio Damage EOS reverb”
“two SoundToys Filter Freaks, which make the beginning of the song a little darker”
“an Audio Damage EOS reverb”
“Then there's the PSP Noble EQ, which is Simen's favourite EQ plug-in.”
“and then we also have the Waves RBass.”
“the U-he Satin tape machine, which adds some tape compression”
“I have every limiter in plug-in format that there is, and this still is my favourite.”
Synths
“I have a few analogue synths, like the Nord Lead 3, a Moog Sub Phatty and a Prophet 6”
“I have a few analogue synths, like the Nord Lead 3, a Moog Sub Phatty and a Prophet 6”
“It just sounds great on almost anything, is reliable and has a great interface for messing around.”
“This one is my all-time favourite and has a lot of sentimental value on top of its aggressive and raw sound.”
“It sounds beautiful and wild at the same time”
“At least five great songs have come out of just having it around and always connected.”
“It was a poor man's Prophet-5 in a way.”
“It gets used every single day now.”
“It sounds great in its own way and also sees daily use - it's great for pads and basses.”
“The filters in this are crazy, they pierce through the densest mix”
“it is the fattest synth bass you can imagine”
“We also have the Behringer Model D and they do sound scarily similar.”
“some of our other favourite toys in the studio are the Arp Odyssey, Roland SH-101, Roland SH-2 and the Moog Opus.”
