"Plug-ins play a large role in O’Connell’s production process, which is to be expected. He is partial to a few: Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Trilian, Keyscape, AIR Music Hybrid 3 and Loom, Output Substance for bass, and Analog Strings make their way onto every song. "
"Drumlab is another one that’s great for percussion and I’m big on Heavyocity Damage, and Output Substance, Analog Strings, Exhale, and Rev."
