Hi everyone. I’ve been hovering around here and there over the past year or so but never got around to an introduction thread, so I thought I’d do one now.
I’m a producer/composer based in Montreal, mostly doing dance music as Persuasion and ambient/experimental/concrète type stuff as D. Hansen.
I put out this EP for Bandcamp Friday in November. Worked extremely hard on it and am very proud of how it turned out. Mix of dub techno and UK Hessle/Livity-type influences.
So yeah, hello and happy to be part of the community.
Hardware-wise it was my AR (mostly the synth machines, rarely using samples), Waldorf Pulse 2 for “leads” (if they can be called that lol), and AH for reamping/glue/gentle saturation of the master bus.
Other than that it was a lot of ITB. I did pads/stabs with TheWaveWarden Odin 2 and Reaktor 6 running Carbon 2. Valhalla Delay and VintageVerb for pretty much all delay & reverb duties. Various other Reaktor things for other FX processing. Arranged in Ableton 9.
The production on this is really really good. Has a very professional finish to it, great job.
Not to mention the tracks them selves are great! Listening while it rains outside in Vancouver and I write some code
perfect, I do love to indulge in rainy weather vibes when working on tunes
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I wanted to see if I could get things sounding like they’d been made in a proper studio without actually having a proper studio and the answer is yes but I wanted to die by the end of it lol
