fx

Q  Judging by the some of your older website content, you seemed to be using most hardware for your music productions, and you seemed to have moved the VST side.

A  Yes, correct. I have moved over to (mainly) virtual....it's so much more convenient and sounds fantastic too. No noise, no cables etc.

What hardware and equipment do you actually use? Do you prefer to use hardware of software?

UAD-1 Pultec eq - classic hardware now painstakingly modelled in software

Q ... Quite often just before the release into the body of the song, you'll hear what sounds like a percussive hit (or sweep or swell) with a super long decay that just ends up sounding like white noise during the body of the song and this noise will continue till the end of a section where it is usually faded.

The question is, how do you tweak a sample so it will carry this characteristic without sounding as if its being looped?

Any help much appreciated...

Q  "Also which instrument hardware do you suggest like multieffect processor FX? For sounds very very psychedelic. Eventide Harmonizer H-8000,Atomic Pulse Zoom RFX 2000, other use Tc Electronic Fireworx, Tc Powercore or Uad?"
