Fedde le Grand

When asked what program he uses for producing, Fedde Le Grand says "I use Logic most of the time. I do a few little things in Ableton. Ableton is really great and works really fast, but I still think it adds a little sound to your audio files. I think logic is more open, especially sound-wise. It's a little bit harder to create something, but in the end you have more room. I mean it doesn't give a sound by itself so it's easier to create whatever you want."

When asked how he made the drop synth in "No Good" Fedde Le Grand mentions the Synth Shots sample pack. He goes on to say that when you find some fun samples, put a nice reverb and/or delay plugin on them, then distort them a little bit. That's how he came up with the sound for that particular drop.

The USB drive Fedde Le Grand uses to store tracks on and plug into his CDJs is the Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth.

Again, it's all about a little touch here and a little touch there - nothing too extreme. I've also gone back to the Brainworx XL, which is good for sorting out the stereo image and getting the whole thing to sound a lot bigger.

The mastering chain usually starts with a UAD 4K Buss Compressor. I try and add a little bit of punch to the mix, but not to go too far.
