Far Too Loud's Software Plugins and VSTs
"...the low end of my kick drum is gonna come from another plugin which I've been using for a while called Bazzism from Intelligent Sounds & Music, and this plugin, uh, basically generates a kick drum from a sine wave and you can change the various parameters... I like this plugin because you can really have control over the low end..."(2:30)
"All the plugins are in the box... some of my favorites— Massive, FM8, Sylenth..." (2:05-2:23)
"On many tracks in my sessions you’ll see Sonalksis Free G in the last plug-in slot. It’s simply a really nice software fader and I’ll automate it throughout the track on many sounds to make sure the mix is always well balanced and that the prominent sounds have space. I use Free G so that I can still adjust the overall level of the sound with the channel fader without having to adjust the gain automation."
In the "lightning round" section of his interview with Black Octopus Sound, when asked what his favorite VST was, he responds "FXpansion DCAM Synth Squad".
At 2:18 in the video he lists some of his favorite plugins, amongst which he mentions Sylenth.

"This may be simple gain adjustment for overall width control or perhaps I’ll use DMG Audio Equality to EQ the S signal such that some frequencies (generally higher ones) are wider than others (generally lower ones)."
"Side-chain compression from the kick drum is a well-known about technique, but I have become obsessed with LFOTool from Xfer Records for this. The reason is that it allows me to easily tailor the release curve for each individual sound. I can go for a quick release, so that the sound is ducked only for the “click” of the kick drum, or a long release which can completely remove the sound for the duration of the kick, or anywhere in between."
When asked what his favorite sound library is, Far Too Loud provides a link for the Driven Machine Drums sound library.
At 2:18 in the video he lists some of his favorite plugins, including FM8.
At 2:28 in the video, Far Too Loud mentions u-he Zebra as one of his favorite plugins.
"My main tool for drums is Native Instruments' Battery, and I like to load all sorts of different drum samples in here, and play about with different ones and find out which ones sound good." (1:38)
At 8:55 in the video, the camera zooms in on Far Too Loud's computer screen to show his currently open plugin— in this case, the unmistakable layout of the MicroTonic.
"This bass sound... is going through an instance of Izotope Trash which I use quite a lot... and on the Trash page, which is where you control the distortion on the sound, you can split it into a multiband..." (13:44) In this instance, he is using Trash 1, as the interface does not match the design for the current version, Trash 2.
"...and then that's running through the Sausage Fattener which I tend to use a lot on bass sounds... just to sort of get them at a consistent level..."(15:09)
