A Max patch could do it, so perhaps that. Honestly, there are so many ways that the band could have made those sounds (Max, Protools, layering drum machines or actual drum playing with each go slowly...

To be honest, I bet they just wanted their practice space to have a vibe that they liked and that giant flag did it for them on some level. Being comfortable in the practice/recording/live space is an...

View ArticleWhat's up with Mauro's page? It doesn't seem to be working.
It should be working. It’s basically empty though as I can’t even begin to name any of the stuff that he uses. I’ll get on it eventually though and become an expert on Brazilian percussion/percussion...

The noise at 00:24, and which repeats a few times(again at 00:39, 00:53, etc), sound distinctly, if subtly, different from the duck noise which Thom triggers. It’s also quieter in the mix. I think that...

It isn’t at the end of his signal chain, as specified in all of the pedalboard layouts listed on his page. I honestly don’t hear anything which would suggest its use at the end of his signal chain. In...
View ArticleHi, do you have any information about that harpsichord-sounding instrument on...
Knowing Nigel nowadays, it’s likely some sort of Kontakt instrument. It sounds pretty realistic, so much more likely a Native Instrument plugin than a synth. It could be a real one, but there isn’t...
