Fehrplay

I use a lot of the Logic synths like ES2, ES M and ES P quite a lot, and they don’t use a lot of CPU.

When asked what sample packs he would recommend for drums, Fehrplay says, "...the pack from Daedmau5 'xfer' is pretty good!"

Yes definitely. Waves has this SSL compressor plug-in, which is supposed to emulate the one I have in hardware. It doesn’t have that warmth, which is why I’m using the outboard hardware, but when I’m working on my laptop I’ll put it on the places where I know that I’ll use the actual compressor later. And the same a little bit with the Neve preamps; I use Waves Scheps 73, which is basically just a preamp and you can drive it a little bit.

Fehrplay uses the Waves IR1 Convolution Reverb Plugin in his Logic sessions, as seen in a Twitter post where he shares his excitement about completing a remix.

Fehrplay used the Waves IR-L Convolution Reverb Plugin in a Logic project, as shown in his Twitter post about completing a remix.

"I really like the lexicon reverb bundle. and arturia synth pack"

Look closely at Fehrplay's open Logic session and you will spot he uses the Vengeance Producer Suite: Multiband Sidechain2 Plugin.

Fehrplay mentioned using Sugar Bytes Effectrix in a tweet about wrapping up a remix in his Logic project.

A video clip of a track preview reveals Fehrplay uses the Waves API 560 10-Band EQ Plugin.

Fehrplay uses the Arturia ARP2600 V Software Synthesizer, as mentioned in a Reddit AMA with Fehrplay and Jeremy Olander.

"What synths I use for bass lines varies. But my go to synths atm are the vintage synth pack from Arturia. They are just huge, and so creative to work with. I also layer the synths alot, to try and make them as original as possible. I usually use to much processing (I'v been told) hehe. But normally its compression, reverb, eq, maybe another compressor, and a limiter. Its always different."

In response to "Bass/low end processing...fav plugin or trick?" Fehrplay says he uses the Waves Bass Rider Plugin, since it's "...pretty good on basslines with chord changes."

"...love the multiband compressor 'c6' from waves."

"I love mixed in key, although I don't always mix in key. But its a good way keep a nice harmony flow."

Fehrplay shows at 5:05 that he uses PSP VintageWarmer2 in his remix.

Fehrplay praises Cytomic The Glue in his studio session at 7:32 while working on a remix.

In this studio session video Fehrplay uses u-he ACE for his bass sound at 1:02.

“I love the Korg M1. I’ve got to say it’s the most beautiful-sounding soft synth I’ve ever had – it almost sounds like the real thing! It’s quality, and it doesn’t crash. Other than that I use some of the u-he synths – ACE for example is really good – and I’m trying to get into Xfer Records Cthulhu. It’s an arpeggiator and chord generator, and it’s pretty fun, but it’s still kind of Greek to me!

“I do have Sylenth1, but I’ve tried to stay away from it because it’s something that everyone uses.”

“Soundtoys are my go-to creative plug-ins. Crystallizer, EchoBoy and Decapitator are so much fun to work with.

Then I like Sausage Fattener, really subtle, just at maybe 3% or something, because it can make a radical, radical change when it kicks in.

On the buss I’d start with the C1 Compressor from Waves. It’s really, really tight when you get it right.

hat’s funny is after watching Interstellar I got hooked on organs! So I went to find the best- sounding, proper pipe organ there is, and I found this one from someone called Milan Digital Audio called Hauptwerk. It’s a 40GB library of just two organs! The sound is unbelievable. It’s kind of funny as I don’t think a lot of people know about it, but it’s completely insane. I’m working on quite a few new tracks with that in it. You don’t really hear that pipe organ a lot in club music, so I’m going to try it out!
