Noisia

In an interview with Musicradar, Nik Roos of Noisia discusses their use of iZotope Trash 2, highlighting it as part of their sound design toolkit alongside other plugins like FabFilter Pro-C and Pro-Q.

In this interview Noisia say: "For drums we like to use Superior Drummer as well as one-hit sample libraries or even synth-based drums."

"I know it's not a synth as such, but Superior Drummer is massively important to our sound. As is the Kontakt sampler."

In a Vimeo video, Thijs of Noisia plays with Molekular as he produces a new track.

At 17:21, Martijn of Noisia states that the particular bass sound was made in Razor.

From a MusicRadar interview with Noisia, Noisia talk us through their individual production setups and side projects:

"There's a really cool new feature in Cubase where you can render in place. There are probably [other] sequencers that have that feature, but in Cubase it's so cool that, with one shortcut, you can now bounce some audio, a synth or something, and you can choose whether you bounce it dry or with the effects or the channel routing. The best thing is that you can set it to automatically mute or delete the original track, and we generally have it set to bounce the audio with the effects but keep the routing. If I don't have a certain plugin, before loading the project here, I can ask Thijs to render a synth and I can still open a project and use the same routing without having to run that specific synth, which is really handy."

They also mention Cubase in this interview: Interview: Noisia on beats, basslines, software and more

Martijn: ""[Laughs] I secretly use the OTT [Xfer's freeware compressor] but Nik and Thijs don't really approve of the way I use it! "

"Just because you use Trash, FabFilter Pro-C and Pro-Q, it doesn't automatically mean you'll get the sound of Noisia."

On the top of the screen, in this Instagram post by Noisia, Xfer Serum can be seen.

Someone on Redit asked what plugins does Noisia use "favorite go to saturation? favorite go to stereo widener?" replied back saying "saturator - SDRR, trash 2, u-he satin, Waves NLS, Guitar Rig etc stereo widener - pro-q 2 to boost specific sections of the side signal, ozone 6 imager & exciter, trash 2, reverbs like Valhalla Room, etc"

"It can do. For creative compression, we mostly use plugins like Melda's MCompressor, which is really cool because you can draw the curve yourself. "

"Komplete 9 gives me plenty to play with, and FM8 has become something of a Noisia regular."

"Just because you use Trash, FabFilter Pro-C and Pro-Q, it doesn't automatically mean you'll get the sound of Noisia."

At 23:55, Martijn of Noisia states that they use Massive for bass sounds.

At 20:31 in this video, Fab Filter Pro-L can be seen on the left hand monitor in Noisia's studio

"but we do use software limiting on our tunes (waves L2, kjaerhus classic limiter, waves L3 multimaximiser for multiband limiting )"

"amplitube, big tick nasty shaper, predatohm, campelphat, of course always, it all depends on what you use it on..."

"Also, stuff like Guitar Rig, which is not so prominent in our music but is a really cool tool."

"Komplete 9 gives me plenty to play with, and FM8 has become something of a Noisia regular."

"There are some other great plugins out there, as well. The basic Cubase compressors are always handy; the VC2A and the 160 from Native Instruments; Ozone's Multiband hasn't got huge amounts of character, but it's a very accurate and precise tool."

At 23:55, Martijn of Noisia states that they use Sylenth1 for bass sounds.

At 17:21, Martijn of Noisia states that the bass sound was made in Razor. Because Razor runs in Reaktor, it follows suit that Noisia has Reaktor

At 23:59, Nik and Martijn of Noisia state that they use Synth1 for certain bass sounds.

On the Rob Papen Raw page, Noisia talks about the Rob Papen RAW, stating, "Imagine a synth inside of a distortion effect. Then add some possibilities you hadn't thought of. That's kind of what RAW is like."

"waves bundle fx are very good, we use the C4, the Rcomp, the REQ and the L2 a lot"

"PSP vintage warmer and the bluetubes DR and the antares Tube are cool too for od fx."
