“EXHALE is absolutely insane! It’s been a long time since a plugin has opened up an entirely new realm of creative possibilities for us. We can’t recommend it enough.”

Pretty much every sketch that we have had made thus far has used REV, SIGNAL and EXHALE,

For dynamics, nowadays we generally lean towards the Smack Attack or Infected Mushroom Pusher.

The Glitch Mob
“IM Pusher is great for beefing up and saturating drum sounds, or it can be used on synth leads and distorted bass patches for extra bite. The tone shaping capabilities are very broad. This is one of the most impressive plugins we’ve seen in a while.”

On the EQ side of things, we will lean heavily on both the Waves SSL E-Channel and G-Channel to help give our kicks and snares the correct tone.

There is a picture that shows The Glitch Mob using IZotope Ozone 5 in this interview.

The Glitch Mob's distinctive sound prominently features iZotope Trash 2, as highlighted in the Darkart Mastering's Tumblr Artist Spotlight.

"Also LFO Tool is our go to sidechaining plugin. We love it because it is so consistent every time. The problem with sidechain compressors is that some of the time you will actually get distortion from the compressor depending on how it’s set, or what the key signal is. Sometimes you want that distortion, but it’s really nice to have something that is transparent and produces the perfect ducking curve every single time."

"We used a lot of the plug-in called the Olga. It's by this company called Stillwell Audio. They're great. They're awesome plug-ins. We use mainly the Olga synth. It's really a cool synth."

"We do everything on a Mac Pro in [Steinberg] Cubase... Yeah, everything was Cubase."

"We also use AudioEase Speakerphone... actually, all the filters and modulations in there turned out to be amazing. We used the vibrato a lot. But also just for filtering things and creating atmospheres. There''s nothing quite like it. The ability of that plug-in to mangle sound is like no other. I would say that the sound of the whole album is directly related to our use of the UAD [plug-ins] and Speakerphone."

"We use reFX vanguard quite a bit."

The logo for Maschine is located in the upper right hand corner of the Glitch Mob's computer screen.

"So this is an all-custom rig, centering on some serious collaboration, including custom programming and Max/MSP patching by Matt Davis (who calls it a “real instrument”), live show production by Martin Phillips of Bionic League, and Gregg Lacey of Vision Scenery."

"We used [XLN Audio] Addictive Drums quite a bit and it was processed. And we also used [Quantum Leap] Stormdrum and [Toontrack] Superior Drummer 2."

When asked what their favorite synthesizer plugins are: ''All of the NI stuff, Nexus, Omnisphere.''

The Glitch Mob
“L2 defined the sound of an entire generation of music. We love the L2 so much that at one point we even owned the hardware unit.”

“We’ve been using Waves plugins for over 10 years and they are still an integral part in our workflow today. From Enigma, MetaFlanger, R-Vox to H-Reverb, F6 and more. There are too many gems to list!“

Pretty much every sketch that we have had made thus far has used REV, SIGNAL and EXHALE,

I’ve found that the Torque plugin is amazing for tuning mid-range drum sounds like toms and snares that have a low mid-range bump.

There is an image in this interview showing The Glitch Mob use the Universal Audio Neve 88RS Channel Strip Plugin.

When asked "What are some other tools and plugins that are integral to what you do?" The Glitch Mob replied: "At this point we would have to say that we cannot live without Voxengo SPAN Plus, DMG Audio Equilibrium and a good LUFS meter like the iZotope Insight or the ToneBoosters EBU Compact."

"The basic Brainworx BX Limiter is my favorite. It’s one of the few where you can drop the threshold and not hear the source the material getting louder. Very few limiters work like that."

The Glitch Mob had posted a picture of their plugins they were said to be using on a project. Tone2 Akustix Enhancer can be seen in the upper left of the photo.

"plugin chain of the day... new album is coming along http://instagr.am/p/K_AYN4qLJE/"
