      That’s difficult to answer. Perhaps you can find out more in the Test Department? ;-)

        I don’t know anything about And One or Test Department, but this song is pretty fucking awesome. I got out my best headphones so I could pick out all the different sounds in there, it’s got a lot of things happening. I especially like the lower bass rumbling sounds you got going on. Something in the middle range sounds really “funky” too (in a good way!) I bet this would be amazing to hear on the large speakers at the club.

          Awesome! Thank you so much for this comment. It really means a lot to me when someone engages with my music in this way. ❤️🤘🤘

            If you don’t mind saying, what kind of tools do you use? (I’m pretty ignorant about electronic music production, but I’ve played around a bit with VCV Rack and some of the emulators on roland50.studio.)

              Almost the entire song was created on the computer. The digital audio workstation used was Reaper; the synth sounds came from Zynaddsubfx and Vaz, along with a fair amount of delay, reverb, and distortion plugins. The vocals were recorded with a large-diaphragm microphone. The metal percussion sounds are older; I sampled and processed them on a hardware sampler back then.
