What is in your master chain? Do you apply it before or after rendering

the master chain contains few things, for example The Glue Compressor and iZotope Ozone 4 and I have that chain up and running from the very beginning of the every project, so I can have full control on the final sound from the start :) 

What do you use for making sounds mono in Fl Studio?

I’m closing the stereo separation knob on corresponding mixer track, or running the thing I want to mono-ize through the mono compressor, like the Audiocation AC1 Compressor, which is actually freeware :)

Naah, I have a Windows7 running through BootCamp on my MacBook. So I’m always using Fruity Loops.

what program do you use to make bootlegs/mashups?

I’m using Fruity Loops since I’ve began to produce music. You can find more about it HERE

*fun fact: I’m even mixing down the Superheroes Podcast parts together (DJ set, voiceovers, jingles) in FL !

What do you think about mastering, do you leave -3,-6 for headroom? What tips do you have!!

As I master my songs mostly on my own, I’m always trying to make the stuff bump into 0db nicely without losing the dynamics

can you release some of your mashups and bootlegs they're epic especially Burns & Otto Knows vs. Reflekt - I Need To Feel Lies & Tom Swoon & Amba Shepherd & Maor Levi vs. Zedd & Lucky Date & Ellie Goulding - Not Too Late To Fall Into The Sky (Tom Swoon Mashup)

Look out on my facebook, I’m about to release a 3-track bootleg pack REALLY SOON there.

I LOVE YOU TOM SWOON!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Do you sing?? :)

About singing… I’m the only one thinking that I can sing, but the truth is that even autotune wouldn’t help me. So I’m just gonna stick to producing.

Hi Tom! I have a question : Which Synths and Filters did you use on your new track with Amba Shepard?

Z3ta+2, Synplant and Sylenth1 to name a few.

This past Sunday, the LA Times ran an article which was essentially an inflammatory pummeling of the EDM scene. It painted a picture of “Ecstasy-fueled underground” raves, bumped up into the mainstream, leaving a trail of dead, drug-addled kids being picked up by the “…coroner’s wagon rolling…

Which external USB soundcard do you use?

Focusrite Saffire 6 USB

Drogi Tom Swoon jak udalo ci się przyswoić , poznać wtyczki jak massive , sylenth1 , sytrus? Gdzie uczyleś się ich poznawania aby wiedziec co kazde z pokrętł wykonuje?

Raczej kwestia prób i błędów, niż czytania książek, czy oglądania tutoriali. Warto po prostu spędzić czas samemu i domyślić się, co dany wihajster czyni :)

A i jeszcze jedno. Jesteś zadowolony z tego co osiągnąłeś? Myślisz że możesz osiągnąć jeszcze więcej?

Staram się cały czas podnosić sobie poprzeczkę, nie spoczywać na laurach… Mogę spokojnie powiedzieć, że to dopiero początek :)

Czy do muzyki jesteś jakoś specjalnie przywiązany? Kochasz ją ponad życie czy odchodzi ona na drugi plan?

To raczej wszystko inne powoli odchodzi na drugi plan… Wiadomo, jest to ciężki wybór i spore ryzyko, ale to teraz moje życie, więc… :)
