"Horndog" in your 'A Second Opinion' mix is probably one of my top dubs of all time. Love that mix too man. We must have similiar tastes.

How do you usually start building up a synth? Trimming samples real short, looping, and distorting them? Working with straight tones?

In that song specifically, what was your strategy for fattening up that distortion? It's crunchy without being harsh, very thick.

I almost never sample. I usually take a synth sound, widen it a bit, and detune one of the oscillators before running it into a distortion unit, usually fattens up the sound quite nicely instead of just overdriving one tone. More voices spread out nicely gives a nice warmer sound. Although it's pretty easy to overdo it, just a matter of balance.

Horndog will be on the flipside to "Ribs" on Sour Grapes 004.

First of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity... to even be considered for a Q&A is quite flattering considering that nobody knew me about a half year ago when I started producing dub.

Has done work for Alter Ego, Mondo Records, Conspiracy and Navigation. Nishant has a track coming on Tyler Michaud's 'New School Recordings' label very soon and has seen support from the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Darude, Darren Tate, Above and Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten to name a few.
It might be important to mention that this information above is regarding my work in trance/progressive before I turned to the dark side :wink:
Did he really... ?
