One of Dusky's favorite plugins, according to an article on MusicRadar, is the D16 Group Redoptor Vintage Tube Distortion. They say, "Our studio is all in the box, so we use a variety of plug-ins to warm up our sounds. Redoptor is fantastic when used as a parallel distortion effect for extra depth and colour."

One of Dusky's favorite plugins to use while mixing, according to an article on MusicRadar, is the PSP StereoPack, which includes the PSP StereoEnhancer. They say:

"We’re careful about using widening plug-ins in our productions as they can make tracks phase horribly. However, the PSP StereoPack is a staple in our mixing process.

When used in conjunction with the Brainworx bx_control plug-in, it can do magical things: everything from low bass to soaring lead sounds." (Feb 2013)

Dusky has this to say about Native Instruments Komplete 8 Ultimate:

"This bundle goes seriously deep - you can pretty much make any sound you can imagine!

Kontakt is our favourite sampler, and the user-created content available for Reaktor is so inspirational to us throughout the whole writing and production process."

Dusky's take on Melodyne, which is one of their top pieces of software in the studio:

"Vocals are really important in our productions, and pretty much every vocal that we’ve processed in the past two years has been run through this plug-in at one point or another. It’s an absolutely essential tool in all our music."

When asked about a favorite compression plugin, Nick Harriman of Dusky answers:

"Waves Renaissance for squashing the vocals a little bit and the Logic compressor for sidechaining."

Dusky post a photo to Instagram of their Phonon SMB-02 Headphones. "Been waiting 3 months for these bad boys from Japan" (posted Oct 2013)

This Instagram video clip, by Dusky, shows that he uses Logic Pro 9 as his DAW (posted it June 2015).

For us, Logic is the ultimate all-rounder - it’s at the core of everything we make. We find it perfect for every stage of the production process, from recording to arranging and mixing.

“The bundled synths are great, too, and feature heavily on every track that we write.”
