Paul van Dyk

Paul van Dyk confirmed that he uses Apple MainStage 2 while performing live in this interview and added "What I really like about MainStage is how you can layer the sounds together."

“I like all Rob Papen’s stuff, and SubBoomBass is one of my favourites. There are some really great bass sounds in there. The sequencer is a cool, funky, creative tool to play around with - it enables you to have some creative moments just by trying things out. I used it for the bassline on Rock This from the new album - it’s a dirty, farty bass.”

"I’ve used both [Traktor and Serato] before and I was probably one of the first DJs who started to play with Traktor. This was about 8 years ago, so back then I had some technical issues. Later I discovered Serato which I found much more stable at the time. Again, this is from 8 years ago... I can’t make any assessment of how it is now. But I really enjoyed using Serato."

"I don’t even know how many soft synths I have!! Obviously, I use Sylenth and Nexus."

“Most of the stuff is not samples, it’s all tweaked synthesizer. In Logic I use the ES1, ES2, EVP88 and the like.”

“I have a clear idea about how things should sound, so before I start, I put Ozone in on a very neutral level. Then I produce against the mastering, so that everything still sounds as crisp and cool and not crunched or punched, but is already being compressed. In the end, everything sounds the way I want it without afterwards putting compression on it. Why do I like it so much? It just makes amazing sounds. If you have a production where the vocals are a little low, you can really get something out of it. And if you use it not for mastering but, for example, put it on some hats or something, you get some amazing stereo imaging - wide open space.”

"In the production field, the entire Waves bundle... On my journey of discovering sounds, everything I find I get!"

Hi folks, this is Bulent from KV331 Audio. Our records indicate that more and more pros are becoming licensed users of SynthMaster: Avicii, Paul van Dyke and Tiesto. Those are the three that we could identify recently as our licenses customers.

Cheers

"In terms of filters, I’m a big fan of Sonalksis plug-ins which are fantastic."
