"I’m still getting to know a lot of the new stuff. I’m actually looking for other UAD users to help me find some new tricks all the time. When it comes to analog sound or reproduction, another UAD user, Ariel Rechtshaid – who has co-written with me a lot on Justin Bieber, Usher, No Doubt, Major Lazer, etc. – is very good at stuff like that. So I’ve been trying out the UAD Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder Plug-In and the Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-In."
"On the track, 'Get Free' the choppy skipping vocals near the end were processed with the Roland RE-201 Space Echo and numerous layers of compression and resampling to get the overall effect heard."
When asked if he has uses many of the same "go-to" plug-ins, Diplo responded, "Yes. For vocalists, I nearly always use the Pultec EQP 1-A and the 1176 Compressor. The Pultec, especially, has a great ability to boost up the shine or fresh quality of a vocal, and the 1176 keeps it in place."
Diplo is listed as a user of the Sausage Fattener on Dada Life's site.

Diplo talks about how he used the Teletronix LA-3A plugin on his album "Free The Universe": "On the track, 'Get Free' for instance, the hard sounding kick/snare sound was ran through the Teletronix LA-3A compressor plug-in once or twice, in between being processed with other layers."
Diplo on using Universal Audio's FATSO plugin: "The FATSO is used quite often on the record for drums and vocals, as well as instrument sounds. It was often used on busses, such as the drums and bass in the song 'Playground', but that’s more of a traditional use. It would just as often get used for creative purposes during resampling."
The Universal Audio 1176 Compressor is one of Diplo's go-to plugins for vocalists.
This tweet by Diplo indicates he uses Serato DJ software to perform his live sets. He says, "Jus cheked my serato playlist..."
