Retrieved September 5, I don't even want to think about it, because the minute you start to do that, you're starting to plan, and that's never what I wanted to do.
I don't want to plan anything, you know? There's this illusion that I'm riding this wave, but when I made Scary Monsters , there was no wave. There was Dubstep Patio once a month at Cinespace [in Hollywood] on Sundays, and we played the smoking patio, you know? To me, I wasn't doing anything that was gonna blow up. I was just making music that sounded like—whatever. So for me, I don't like to think about any of that, except for making good music that I'm happy with.
Ozone is just super-versatile. The Multiband Stereo Imaging is really nice, and you can bus a ton of things to it for different reasons. I'm actually next to [dubstep producer and DJ] Flux Pavilion right now, and he says it's fucking wicked for everything , really.
Everybody uses it. I use it as a multi-band compressor on individual channels—I'll bus out multiple channels if I just want some stereo imaging, and the EQ in there is very nice too. I really use it all. It's just cool to have so many choices in one. I think where it's really helped me is to create the illusion of a lot of stereo stuff going on, without getting the phase problems.
You can use Ozone's stereo imaging and take frequencies above seven thousand [7 kHz], or even a little bit lower, and you can widen everything up there, so that the mix starts to sound a lot wider. In an environment where you're performing live, where a lot of times you have distortion and different high frequencies bouncing around the room, you don't necessarily need those to be as present, but when the higher end stuff starts phasing, because you've widened everything, it almost tightens up your mix.
For how bright and how chaotic my mixes are, I think they work really well in the club because I've widened the stereo image. If you do that at a lower frequency band, you get phasing and lose the notation, or lose the actual definition of the synth line.
But if you brighten things up at the very top of everything, it gives the illusion of a big wide mix. Well, I don't want to be mysterious about it or anything. Of course I'm not giving away anything either—part of the fun of being a producer is having your own sound. But for me, the drums are simple. It's all about the three pieces that make a really nice drum sound. You need a nice transient in the beginning, and then the note around the hertz frequency that gives it that boof , and then a tail, which can be anything.
I usually start with a and compress it to get the harmonics of that hertz note, and then take maybe one or two really good-sounding locked drum samples that don't conflict with any of the harmonics in the You want to tune it at about , and shelve off a lot of that stuff above , and then you have this live-sounding hybrid Then you take a clap or a china [sound] and shelve it off super high, and add some reverb to it and then print it as one.
Balance it while you print it, and then you re-compress it from there and you have a snare drum. There's one thing about audio too. I think the biggest piece of advice I can give anybody about audio is don't pretend to be a snob.
Know what you know, and be ready to admit that there are things you don't know. It's okay to know that something sounds good, but don't convince yourself that things are good when they're not. For me, it was the whole Monsters sound. I was just copying Noisia's sound at first, their synthesis. I would hear their sounds and go "fuck, how the fuck do they do that? It turned into its own thing because I was trying to do something else, but that's all part of the fun, accidental, experimental thing with music, where you A-B something to death and suddenly it becomes your own thing.
Oh man—in electronic music? Noisia are huge for me, but it's hard to say, because I get so much music, and I hear so much music, so it's all this big whirlwind. It could be a nightclub I go to on an off-day or something, and I get a vibe, and I hear a track, and I just get inspired. Then I have this thing in my head, and I don't have to necessarily remember what the track is, but I just feel like making a song.
But I think one of the greatest albums that came out recently was Nero's album Welcome Reality. It's fuckin' awesome—really incredible production. Rabbit has some great drums too, speaking of drums. I think there are just as many issues when you take the song out of a studio environment that you're used to, you know? It's another set of issues, but it's all trial and error. It's like the [Yamaha] NS That's such an inaccurate sound.
Not only is it more than flat, it's like a mid-rangey bump. Back when everybody was using those, you'd go into any studio and your mix would sound the same because everybody had them.
So it's all relative, and it's about what you like to work on. Obviously you get extremes. You wouldn't necessarily want to work with bad speakers, but I have mixed stuff on computer monitors in the past. All of My Name Is Skrillex is mixed on computer monitors coming out of a headphone jack [laughs] , and I got by.
So it's all about what you're comfortable with. It's all in the box, but these days I really like iZotope's Trash , actually. It's pretty cool. I've been using it on random things. It's like, here's a sound and I don't really know what to do with it, and I throw it on and start fucking with it, and it becomes something else.
