In an interview w/ Sound On Sound, Rob Swire of Knife Party [formerly Pendulum] states this about the Waves Audiotrack channel strip plugin:
"Before we used that we used something weird, which was Waves' Audiotrack [plug-in]. It was the only thing I could find that got the same sort of sound that this has. There's better stuff out, the Waves SSL pack had been released, but I didn't like that at all. I think it's just that the Waves Audiotrack was straight peak compression, no RMS involved. I think the Roll Music compressor has a combination of the two, which gets a similar effect, just straight linear compression. It's also the side-chain filter on that. They should tell people this in the manual, but if you open the box, there's a jumper and you can set the side-chain [filter] to whatever you want, so we can sort of get it above our big Def Leppard-style snare.

In an interview w/ Sound on Sound, Rob Swire of Knife Party (formerly of Pendulum) said this about his Mitchell & Todd 310a monitors:
"I got introduced to them by Simon Askew, the Maida Vale guy we stole to do our live sound. He was using a pair, it was the model below this, and the PMCs. I heard these and I said 'What the fuck is that, it's like everything you want in a monitor!' It's Dynaudio drivers, but the Mitchell & Todd guys designed the enclosures and the amps for them. They're really flat. The guys actually came down here and set them up themselves. Something was a bit weird with the tweeter and he came down and replaced it, so they're good like that."
