Fun Fact: OTT's "Amount" knob actually isn't a dry/wet. It just adjusts the global range and ratio of all three freq bands (as far as I know). Because a true dry/wet would cause phasing issues at the crossover points.

If you're wondering why everything is audio; in a recent podcast on XLNT Sound, Afrojack said that Skrillex likes to bounce his sounds and cut them so there's no tails clashing with other elements. He's basically cleaning up his entire arrangement to perfection by exporting everything to audio and cutting all the tails.

he was using ozone 5 to refrence the frequency spectrum with other songs, hence the refrence tracks section the reason why he uses specifically ozone 5 is cause its the latest version of ozone that lets you analyze the frequency spectrum of multiple refrence tracks at the same time. for some reason in the newer versions on ozone they only allow for one refrence track for you to analyze, which is really inefficient.

Yes, an Mp3 files for the vocals. -The only automation noted in this entire song is the filter sweep at the end from high to low. that's it.

i've never used Ableton, I use FL Studio, but the way you describe "Gain Staging" seems similar to a technique you can do with the mixer. Say you have a sound on Insert 1, but you want more effects on it, maybe you used up all 10 slots of effects. Simply route insert 1 to another insert (E.G Insert 2) and stop routing it to the master. Using this technique allows you to mix your sounds individually, and then put them on another insert to "pre master" it and then finally routing it to the master from that insert (usually done by default)

Analog synth maybe? I’ve been trying to wrap my head around these bass sounds for the longest. Specifically the way they seem to oscillate or loop slower as they play lower notes and faster as they play higher notes. Hope that all makes sense. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the novel!
