Melody layer with Nexus2

40:07Eight bars after the drop, Robbie adds another layer to the lead synth. “By this point you’re like, ‘alright, that’s enough!’, so we had to find ways to keep the track moving otherwise it became boring. This is just a standard reFX Nexus lead, it’s just ‘LD Square Lead 1’ – I always take the delay and reverbs off. They’re great, it’s just if I want to distort or anything like that, if I have reverbs and stuff already added by the plugin it goes crazy, so I take everything off straight away out of habit.” Robbie adds his own reverb courtesy of Valhalla Room, and uses a selection of other plugins, including Sausage Fattener and FabFilter Saturn, to warm the signal up.
