Music producers share their “secret recipe” for a great track within their scene. It’s less about the formula and more about the tools and work flow to expose tips and inspiration!


1Themes

I have been told my music sounds very cinematic, like a horror movie soundtrack. I think I agree though I don’t really write my music with that in mind. Most of the time when I start writing a new track I just make a few rules for myself—tempo, key, and what gear I want to use—and just see what I come up with.

2Equipment

Gear is my albatross. I have a synth addiction. I love synths with lots of controls. Old
synths, new synths, analog or digital, I want it all. I think my favorite bit of gear has to be my Octatrack. It is the thing that lets me get away from the computer screen when making music.

3Live

Inflatable Robot Live

I have the Elektron Octatrack acting as the brains of my live rig. It handles drums, sequencing, sampling of the gear I perform with, and gives me lots of live performance control. I have a DSI Pro 2 for my live synth duties so I can play some keys and twist knobs. I also have a DSI Mopho keyboard running into a Banshee 2 for my talkbox sound. I feel like adding the talkbox has really helped with my live performance as it allows people to see and hear what I am doing. It does a good job of giving people something to watch besides just some guy on stage twisting knobs.

Buy this cassette to stave off the existential consumerist crisis that looms over us all, even if just for a moment. Enjoy the inferior audio quality of yesteryear’s technology as if it were a perk while you handle the gaudy neon green case in order to peruse both the front and back artwork of the J-card. Oh Joy!”
