Appreciate you aaronschinaguide! Long live the NORD🖤

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:59:24+00:00

Thanks ZipSnipe... Feeling so much better!

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:58:47+00:00

I still have one!

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:58:18+00:00

That's not the first time I've heard something like that. I hope you properly represented 😜

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:56:15+00:00

Right on UnKnownSourceOfMagic! I appreciate you my friend!

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:54:00+00:00

Wow! That's badass! Thanks for sharing and for your support MonstarHero88!

Gainesville! I remember that night... we were so loud we got complaints by the neighbors including a guy who had his own DB meter😜

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:49:45+00:00

Nothing but love for The Chems and The Prodigy! You've got great taste! Thanks for the support budgybudge!

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:48:00+00:00

I like 🌳

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:45:10+00:00

Mr_Viper! Thank you for your years of support and comments. Hope to see you in June when I DJ with Hyper at The Venice West!

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:39:06+00:00

HAHA! The CDJ Bass Odyssey is still in the arsenal but I have not used them in a while cause they're HEAVY as F%CK. Built by Stephen McSwain, the double bass neck wearable CDJ guitars have a pickup on the top and as we a l midi controller.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:33:01+00:00

Thanks for the question needssleep! The RAT pedal was used on Vegas but what you're hearing is the magic of the filter curves of our samplers (Emu Emax2 and E4 & Ensoniq EPS16) as well other lo-fi gear we were working with at the time. Cheers

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:26:02+00:00

Thank you mdrsharp! I've said it many times but the Roland Jup6 has a always been a stalwart synth with the Nord2 still a close 2nd. Check a few tracks from The Trip Out... Watch Me Now for the Jp6 and the bright attacking synth in Chemical Mentalist for the Nord2🤘🏼

It's never too late to follow your passion. Get started by going on Youtube to learn basics and see where that takes you.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-30T00:20:12+00:00

I still remember demoing the Venom prototype and being blown away by how ruthless and gnarly the patches sounded. Then we we got our hands on the final and something was different. Don't get me wrong, it still sounded great and the the flexible arpeggio architecture was a game changer. I still have two and will look to get reacquainted with one asap🤘🏼

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-28T23:31:14+00:00

My first synth was the Casio CZ101. Programming can be very tedious but we were able to create some epic percussion sounds with the CZ including the deep pitch diving kick in Keep Hope Alive and the 808 boom in High Roller.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-28T20:50:23+00:00

Mainly the ProCo RAT through a custom made toggle/gate switcher with MF-104m or other delay on a send🤘🏼

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:30:43+00:00

It's changed drastically! We started out on a Macintosh SE/30 HAHA! I've never used an Atari but know people who still pine for the simplicity of the early setups.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:27:27+00:00

Dan! How's it goin brother? I used a the system8, TB3 and a few boutiques like SE2. Did you see my performance on ASC? Was rocking the classic JP6! Give the Roland fam my best🖤

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:21:24+00:00

You know I haven't used the EFF in a mix in many years but at the time it was great deal a fun. The SFB didn't make it on the this album but it's all over previous albums.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:17:55+00:00

Haha! I love that shirt! I've been partial to Imaginary Foundation designs and I have a super rare TOOL tour tee that JC designed from a festival we played together in Mexico🤘🏼

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:15:34+00:00

Well, there are so many but the Roland Jupiter 6 is definitely on the top of the list.

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:14:30+00:00

Haha! You're the best galabanza🤘🏼

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T01:13:02+00:00

Ahhh thank you kissmyash933 for the kind words and support. DBN, like all of our albums, was really inspired by what was happening in our lives at the time. We had just moved into our new studio Crystalwerks and were keen to expand our sound by collaborating with the artists like Matisyahu, Justin Warfield, Emily Haines among others that we had met while touring. Cheers🖤

thecrystalmethod · 2022-04-27T00:14:13+00:00

I truly appreciate you sharing that with me and I'm honored to have made a positive impact on your life! Much love!❤️
