Skrillex's Gear

“Auto-Tune EFX is always my go to when it comes to working on the fly with artists!”
– Skrillex / Sonny Moore
Your tracks cover so much ground; they’re dynamic both in the material and in the production. Even down to the fine details, such as the string machine pad at the end of “Equinox.”
"Kontakt, baby! I am like a Native Instruments commercial. Their samples are great. Those strings are one-shot audio samples. Just little bits in an extended line you can bring in as sample players or in audio and crossfade and do different things to extend them longer if you want to build pads."
Insight by iZotope is seen throughout the whole video.
At Wobbleland at the Sound Factory in San Francisco, Skrillex was photographed using a Pioneer DJM-800 Mixer to manage sound levels and output during his live performance.
"Native Instruments are pretty standard, and for good reason – Massive, Reaktor and FM8 are all amazing."
This has been Skrillex' main guitar for most of his career. Fender gifted him a replacement for the stolen one he used on Bangarang, and he's since used it on the Recess tour, and in 2023 during a photo shoot for QFF/DGTC.
"Shout out to Fender for hooking it up..the last one I recorded Bangarang with got stolen" https://www.instagram.com/p/cApOTAyaOz/
