Why bring Raum into your live setup, and how do you keep it reliable? The theme of my album DO YOU lives at the intersection of doubt, healing, and fulfillment. Emotions that can feel different every night. I wanted a reverb that I could play in real time, rather than just set and forget. That doesn’t mean there is no reverb in my backing tracks.

He’s been a vocal supporter of initiatives like Aslice and famously created the RADR program (formerly Twitter DJ). This program automatically posts the track…
If you could give one piece of advice to someone starting with only Kontakt Player and a DAW, what would it be? I suggest spending a while fiddling with it, even if it’s brand new to you. Find your sound within it. There are limitless options, so just spend as much time trying to find the most unique corner of it you can find. Also, try and find one company or program that has a vast amount of options outside of the one that you need specifically for that song. Keeping stuff under one roof is helpful with serial numbers,…
