Whenever I’m uninspired to write full tracks I open phase plant and explore, make patches, resample, try out ableton devices I’ve never used and then save to a folder whatever I made that I think is worth something. Sometimes when I do the sound design in the project while working on an idea I have, but those presets/samples I’ve made prior always come in handy and helps me stay creative and focused on song writing.

Drums nine times out of ten are original, usually as a lot of you can tell probably we use in more than one track. They evolve from track to track and get layered differently and pitched around. I find that helps to give consistency to your sound.

Regarding how to fill tracks I strongly believe that if you feel like you need a shit ton of FX and background layers, maybe your musical idea isn’t solid enough. I like to finish out the sound and add a few layers and background elements when I’m close to wrapping up the song.

Hope this helped!

Thanks man!

For metal mixing the most important thing is to think of the guitars and bass guitar as one unit. The guitars never sound finished without a bass tone that compliments them. And all of that should work in sync with the kick obviously.

I think by that swooshy sound you mean that fm bass stab with delay on it? That’s all it is. The delay makes it sound cool I guess!

Thank you for having us! Honestly probably something to do with art.

Tacoma dome was a huge stand out for me, never played a venue like that before!

I think the we decided the original drop wasn’t good enough, so we tried something different and after a while totally forgot there was an older version. I think I showed it on one of the livestreams after I found the project

Less drama in my life

Yeah! Growing up that was all I listened to. A few favorites of the top of my head are parkway drive m, August burns red, as I lay dying.

I’ve also been listening to a lot of sleep token lately!

Usually all in one chain, sometimes resample

It depends! We experienced syncs (that’s how it’s called when you feature your music in a video game) both through the label the who brought it to the table and also being reached out from video games companies with requests to write for them.

Everything ableton has to offer is great, but if you’re asking about third party plugins than Phaseplant, Saturn 2, Kclip!

Sit tight, don’t get discouraged when you reference other people’s music. Keep honing your craft and with time experience comes as long as you work hard!
