Risers and rolls with SoundShifter

The first incarnation of Piñata was less straight-up EDM than the finished version, but Robbie felt this didn’t have the dancefloor impact that he needed. “I wanted to accentuate the Moombah feel that comes in on the drop, and these little fills keep it rolling. The pitching up on the snares is coming from Waves SoundShifter; all I’m doing is automating the ratio and taking it up an octave. Other effects are just simple downshifters and stuff. It’s all bounced to audio, but I’m sure this was just all stuff from sample packs.”
