ugh haha fuck I mixed up LFO tool and Volume Shaper. Truth is I use both! (well all 3 if you count Kickstart). But yes, Cable Guys make Volume Shaper, and Xfer (steve duda and deadmau5) make LFO Tool. Sorry for the mix up guys, definitely check out all three plug ins!

We are all aware of the programs out there and the tools, its just nice to see it put together on camera so we can see how they did it. Thanks guys, you rock!!!

Drew was a producer/musician for many years before he met Alex, who had been DJing for many years. So Drew produces the songs with Alex's advice, and Alex creates their live sets (which are fucking amazing), so both members are very valuable imo.

+Daniel K I appreciate the sentiment but I'm personally not very interested in the technical aspects of music production, only in musicality and creativity. Noisia are awesome and all but no offense, in my opinion there's not much new going on there.. I'm more interested in making magic than in how to make and re-sample yet another distorted Reese bass. I would say there's well over one million songs made every day, and still there are not that many great songs in any given year, I mean really great timeless pieces of music that touch people. The Chainsmokers have two out of two hits and have created a fresh sound that also has gained a lot of play. To make something fresh and creative and get on high rotation is not easy.

Fantastic seeing the creation of the synth effect on the chorus. Always blew me away hearing the synth with such a unique dynamic of bass and crispy treble rolled into one. The Sylenth "Icicle" tone he used was okay, but after cranking the sustain and tweaking the EQ levels it became something truly dope. Yes, the chord progress does make it great, but the tone is nearly equal in importance. Super dope track.
