what are your fave plug ins at the moment?
what synth do you prefer?
do you feel wobble bass is getting played out
or do you feel it is a fundamental of the sound and will stay prominent?

1. my plugin that i made.

2. i like love sub bass and i love wobble bass all when used well. aslong as its a good sound and riff and not just wobble because the producer can make it, then il probably be into it.

bit of both really.. sometimes i have an idea for a tune in my head all day and try it out and see if it works... but mostly i go in with an open mind and just experiment.

Why so negative? Pets can totally influence your state of mind, having a living being around while you make music can be very inspiring.

keytar??

"..A keytar is a relatively lightweight keyboard or synthesizer that is supported by a strap around the neck and shoulders.."

You have one sitting next to you in the studio shot in the intro to this Q+A.
Only asking 'cos I'm looking for a midi controller atm, so I guess I'm asking if you prefer a point and click or Keyboard/MPC approach to compostion.

*Edit*Sorry tried to find a working image and gave up...

Because, this kid's a troll. Check his posts. He's being a prick on purpose.

Are you very selective about the sounds/samples you use?
Do you ever feel like you're running out of creativity, and you have a period where all your tunes are shit and you can't seem to get anything sounding right? How do you overcome it if you do?

Safe Kutz, you're a BEASTLY tune maker.

Did you use an editor like Synthedit for making your synth? And if you did, whats your experience with that?

What IF any is the most frustrating thing about producing ?

Do you cut alot of dubs ?

How often do you DJ, did you DJ alot before you started to make moves as a producer ?

You, Skream, and Benga seem to churn tracks out like madmen. Is this simply coincidence or do you all have a similar work ethic when it comes to making tunes? I could never write an entire tune in a day, let alone two.

How did u come up with that bass in Glitchy Finger (think that's the name)?

i can get influenced by near enough anything.. i could be driving and hear a weird noise and it could trigger off an idea.. or i could be looking at a picture an automatically think of a tune that would go with it.. sort of like a sound track..

yes i speak 20 different languages

ohhh.. i just call it the FM.. lol
I use to use it before.. not so much now iv got a proper midi keyboard.. iv got an mpc 2000xl aswell. havnt really got involved in it properly though... might do at some point this year. i mostly use software as its more practical. easily accessible, a wider range of plugins and it takes up less space

big up.

yea could say that.. i like all my samples to fit in the tune and have a place.

sometimes those days come.. i usually do one of two things.. either. 1. have a couple days break or 2. stay up all day and night building different tunes till one works.

yea i did. i havnt got any experience with it at all.. i just looked at it like making a tune.. im still working on it.. it doesnt look like albino or anything yet infact its not that pleasing to look at, at all at the moment but it comes out with some wicked sounds!

I think he meant to say what he did, in that he couldn't create an entire tune in one day, let alone 2 tunes in 1 day.

Sorry, but it was bugging the fuck out of me.

I don't really have any valid input on the topic itself so sorry for invading the Q&A!

Kutz your a badman aha
