The interview is about how he produces, Not making eye contact anyway, If I had someone sitting on an angle looking at me like that guy was at most of the vid I would have an anxiety attack and black out. xD
+xerix10 what is wrong in vandalism? seriously you dont need to do everything by yourself you know.As long as its made truly by you and it sounds top of the line.There is nothing wrong in using presets.
+KernosT he means that using mostly presets shouldnt be a popular song when other people invest more time in their own sounds and get a fraction of the popularity.
mauroghen gc 90% of the sounds that these people make also can be found in many preset packs. Just cos you make your own presets does not entitle you to have glory. Absolutely not.
I like his attention to detail and his understanding of what hes doing and why. It really makes such a difference in sound quality to appropriately place notes, instruments, and their levels according to sonic nature instead of just blending things that sound cool together.
It's a shame he isn't more enthusiastic about talking about his music. One of Australia's musical greats but it's like watching Daniel Johns in an interview.
I can no longer look at this man as just a normal musician. He knows his craft so well. These are engineers ffs! They need to be compared to the likes of Stevenson and Brunel. They are truly pushing things forward.
I would love to have access to the project files for Pendulum's work... I'd be there for days just muting and soloing different tracks and listening to these tunes in a way I never have before
jokkearnt This interview was filmed in 2010 thats why its about pendulum and the reason why there is no mention of knife party is because knife party didn't exist in 2010, knife party were formed in 2011.
damn whoever's running this channel must be doing a lousy job if they didn't upload this until 2013. seems like a fairly simple thing to keep hidden away for so long
Hey at least I was able to hear Rob sing in the Immersion album thanks man your voice sounds really good especially in songs like Watercolour and Crush also Immunize and can't forget Encoder your voice in amazing in all of those songs.
more questions regarding technicalities for how he went about making his synths for example, which should of been apart of the organic layering segment but thats just one suggestion the video seems more attuned for fans who don't produce which defeats the purpose of an "in the studio"
all the videos they put up are available in there magazines. this video was in a magazine from 2010, if you look for one that might have those artist's then you can buy it and look for yourself.
it pisses me off people who hate on other producers with motives that aren't even related to his production, if you dislike his haircut fine but don't say he's not an artist that's just unfounded considering the quality of his production.
He not to let Pendulum, but he and Gareth decided to depart Pendulum for a time to try new things, and so they created Knife Party. But Rob said recently that in 2014 there will be a new album of Pendulum and other of Knife Party. He keep doing the 2 things, but Knife Party it's the first thing now.
Fyi whoever Aphid is that is really good as well, the song where the voice says, "to the dark come follow me" followed by some kind of a pipe sound is great.
If you're asking about the video monitors, they're older Apple Cinema Displays. If you're asking about the studio monitors, they're Klein & Hummel O300.
I agree to appoint but would concur that he is definately one of the best in Our generation alongside the likes of Dan stein and Andy C ( i know he is a DJ but we can't take his talent away from that, he is a musician) The Noisia guys and a few others. Rob has raised the bar to a height it needed to be set and for that I salute him. :)
The pure rockwool behind the speaker kills me 😆 And the 310 speakers are constant red lighted, what means on the Neumanns that the signal is too loud. Funny interview 😁
here's what i think happens: get a tune signed to a major corporate label, and as soon as your pen leaves the page (where you just signed away your soul for some radio promo), you hear this 'whoosh' and poof! a crew of perpetually-creatively-compromised, well-dressed and styled (if they'd just turned 16, that is) sell-outs appear and take you to some underground room full of suits where you can see their tie n collars but not faces and then the suits explicitly describe to you 3 very specific
You can actually mix the low end frequencies without being distracted/bugged by higher frequencies. Very useful for mixing songs that shall be played on clubs and shit (not exclusively of course...) You can actually hear better what shall happen on a dancefloor
Johnny Destructoid Thats a stupid comment to make really. Rob and Gareth are some of the most talented people in the industry and have been since the formation of Pendulum. I'm guessing the only reason you're saying KP are talentless is due to the lack of instruments in live performances. At the end of the day, the people creating the music are talented as fuck and have taken KP as an opportunity to create some expertly crafted songs, and other festival bangers that get people bouncing.
Now that you put it that way i feel kinda stupid, you're right KP still has a whole lot of talent considering that they're only 2 guys, they do have a lot of fans, sorry man.
"It's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse"
I have no idea why but those words have stuck with me for years now
I don't listen to a huge amount of Savant (though I can appreciate his immense talent), the words themselves just mean a lot to me
what min he say that?
@@RomanUSB 8:30 :D
still does, honestly!
sonic recreation of the end of the world babyyyyyy
The producer, the expert, the master... rob fucking swire.
And Kevin Sawka the drums :3
3arcEddy Just such a powerful team of musicians in general~!
3arcEddy Dont u dare forget about Paul Kodish!!
3arcEddy What about Gareth McGrillen?
Dont forget avicci
One of the greatest producers ever.
5:40 get yourself a girl who look at you the way this interviewer looks at Rob
I feel like everyone looks at rob like that
hes stoned as hell he'd be looking at a rock like that
"people say it's sound quiet catchy, it's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like fucking apocalypse" XD
8:30 to skip to that quote
"It's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse" I revisited this video just to hear him say that.
Savant ? Ye
Of Course
Me too
What time is it?
Mowogjones its spread out from 7:47 to 8:29 and forward
I would hate having an interviewer stare at the side of my head the whole time.
lol me too
and just saying, "yea......yea.....yea.....right, yea"
It's kinda rob's fault... I mean it kind of seems as if he refuses to have any kind of eye contact, so he just keeps looking forward :p
Seero Boarder That's probably because he has to look at the screen to do stuff.
The interview is about how he produces, Not making eye contact anyway,
If I had someone sitting on an angle looking at me like that guy was at most of the vid I would have an anxiety attack and black out. xD
We REALLY need a 2015 in the studio with Rob. Come on Future! :)
yep
+dn a 2016*
2016 * :D
***** hahah
2017*
Rob's voice, goodness, I can listen to this man speak for hours
Check out Knifecast
i wish i could chill with rob in a studio for a week and have him teach me as much as he could
u will come out gay brv lol
Me too broh.
Oh yeah. Also with deadmau5. They 2 are arguably the best engineers in electronic music even if you don't like to music they make.
liteoner noisia? I mean, what about noisia? They are like the best at sound design
noisia is a trio you spacka
My childhood grew around his music. hes my music hero :^)
Same
He's very careful not to release to much sound out. He's not letting all the secrets out
No worries mate, Most Wanted’s on the case 😂
@@alexmcveigh5297 they all like that
how so? he litterally played every instrument solo
coming from Martin Garrix's "vandalism presets" to Rob swire's "we setup our bass on a few different plugins"......pretty big jump
+xerix10 what is wrong in vandalism? seriously you dont need to do everything by yourself you know.As long as its made truly by you and it sounds top of the line.There is nothing wrong in using presets.

KernosT True, but they still deserve more. on some cases. sure. but I guess hard work should be rewarded a bit more :P
mauroghen gc I dont think there is anything called hardwork nowadays in this scene,just connections.
I like his attention to detail and his understanding of what hes doing and why. It really makes such a difference in sound quality to appropriately place notes, instruments, and their levels according to sonic nature instead of just blending things that sound cool together.
Rob Swire..Legend.
What a genius rob swire. One of the best producers of this era
I revisit this video whenever I need inspiration. Rob Swire is my hero!
Same
"It's not meant to sound nice its supposed to sound like the fucking apocalypse." So great.
Half of his accent is Australian and the other half is British haha ;)
still sounds cute lel
Soo cute
All west Australians sound like that.
Australians are still British at heart.
avicooo
I just love how shy he is! So adorable
I love people like that ^_^
Rob is so cute😭🥺😍
watch this with a laptop or a phone to witness an awkward silence at 5:30
Zevzz haha those guys must be unlucky
+Zevzz Watching it on the laptop, however having studio headphones plugged :D
***** You know what I meant! :D
Rob really seems like one of the most technically minded musicians. His art, his music, is produced to such a high standard.
nope lol
Meant to sound fucking apocalyptic but turns out it's catchy instead. Thanks Savant ;)
This was filmed in June 2010
It's a shame he isn't more enthusiastic about talking about his music. One of Australia's musical greats but it's like watching Daniel Johns in an interview.
he's not meant to sound enthusiastic he's meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse
Haha, is he? I'd be happy if he just got excited about talking about his music. He needs to understand that he is the fucking man.
@@lukeallison88 he's just shy
Most producers are very shy and very socially awkward as there usually locked in the studio alone where they are comfortable
In the studio with Aiden Jude = 2 minute video
*aiden jude gives money to some producer* the end
He is fucking 12
Dan Corvo He is ghost produced
l love rob swire
He seems like the chillest person in the world.
Pendulum are geniuses! all albums are masterpieces...
The leadlines of salt in wounds sounds like some sort of laser wars
Ikr
Australia represent. Went on to form Knife Party who are now just as huge world wide, with different sounds. Legend mate
I can no longer look at this man as just a normal musician. He knows his craft so well. These are engineers ffs! They need to be compared to the likes of Stevenson and Brunel. They are truly pushing things forward.
How does one make growls with Sylenth? ONLY ROB SWIRE KNOWS!
Growls in Sylenth are actually pretty common.
Tutorial or it didn't happen. Does it invovle highpass on side A and a low pass on side B or something like that?
I'm thinking some high pass movement with resonance modulation and pitch enveloping... but I could be completely off track. Ha;lp!
sqyttles cutoff and LFO
TheOfficialSio ^^ This guy
I wish you guys would go in the studio with The Upbeats. I would love to see how they do things.
or Phace or Misanthrop - any of the producers that roll with Noisia would basically be awesome :D
Very good! I really like Knife Party and I think they have the best mix. I would like to know more about that. But this was helpful too :) Thanks!
just replying cause i can :P
How many subs did you have 7 years ago?😁
Rob Swire is pretty much a genius when it comes to mastering.
Why does he say he uploads it to a mastering place then 12:21
fishybishbash they confused the mastering process with the mixing process. how cute!
Actually I'm pretty sure he focuses more on the mix
@@fishybishbash Mastered his last album on his own.
Wow just seen this guy on video for the first time.what a legend.some of my first favourite drum and bass
The song is Salt in the Wound from their immersion album
Camera picked up the low frequencies perfectly!
I can't understand how he gets that sub bass sound so insanely huge and powerful. It's tight as hell too. what is he doing..
The man is a goddamned wizard.
still come back to this every year at least once :) x
rob swire is god
When he showed how he stacked sounds to make leads, you could definitely tell that it was the techniques he used for loads of pendulum's leads.
I am waiting for the day,when Liam Howlett sits in front of the camera and showing how he makes his music...then I can die.
We all are…. But I’m not holding my breath
I would love to have access to the project files for Pendulum's work... I'd be there for days just muting and soloing different tracks and listening to these tunes in a way I never have before
I play it while racing. Looove the song
Authentic studio tan. Truest sign of a real deal producer!
These interviews are great. It's so reaffirming to see how the professionals do it before getting down to a track!
Pendulum is/was a landmark in electronic music
jokkearnt This interview was filmed in 2010 thats why its about pendulum and the reason why there is no mention of knife party is because knife party didn't exist in 2010, knife party were formed in 2011.

"yea....yea...........yea"
This is more talking from Rob Swire in an interview than I'm used to.
some better questions could have been asked i think
Such as?
Nitic Music like , what brv
more questions regarding technicalities for how he went about making his synths for example, which should of been apart of the organic layering segment but thats just one suggestion
the video seems more attuned for fans who don't produce which defeats the purpose of an "in the studio"
ProductionBandit yeah the only questions he had was "So you do that here?"
''It's not meant to sound nice, It's suppose to sound like the fucking apocalypse''
I love you Rob.
"its not meant to be catchy, its meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse"
I'd so buy that drum beat with just the bassline all on it's own.
my f0kin hero.
"peri playing some 80s loop" *cough* encoder *cough*
for those who haven't gathered (all 2 of you) perrys 80s guitar loop ended up being use in encoder :)
Now I can do Pendulum by myself on my laptop, thanx for a video :D
I'm glad they reunited and are touring again in 2023.
great! thanks!
it was the most time efficient way of getting info
this guy is a genius.
8:29 - Savant aaaanyone? ;)
+BTGamesNow Yes of course ^^
Zion
Rob's just like "Fuck off and let me work. I don't want to explain shit to you."
all the videos they put up are available in there magazines. this video was in a magazine from 2010, if you look for one that might have those artist's then you can buy it and look for yourself.
That interviewer has no idea about production what so ever.... hahahahahahaha
Genius!!!
"and is everything done here?"
"how long do you spend..."
zzzzzzzzzzz
it pisses me off people who hate on other producers with motives that aren't even related to his production, if you dislike his haircut fine but don't say he's not an artist that's just unfounded considering the quality of his production.
He sings in Pendulum, great band. He even sings in Deadmau5's songs, real MVP. I love him.
Oh this is good. Now saying this in 2021 nice music Rob.
He not to let Pendulum, but he and Gareth decided to depart Pendulum for a time to try new things, and so they created Knife Party. But Rob said recently that in 2014 there will be a new album of Pendulum and other of Knife Party. He keep doing the 2 things, but Knife Party it's the first thing now.
Love these. Thanks FutureMusic.
Bring the beats back, the beat of his life.
pause at 10:42, Rob Swire is picking his nose lol
LOLOLOL
THE INTERNET HAS SPOKEN!
***** I have no idea what your talking about?
OH MY GOD THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING
Fyi whoever Aphid is that is really good as well, the song where the voice says, "to the dark come follow me" followed by some kind of a pipe sound is great.
rob looks like he just finished a marathon
Rob's a genius and that doesn't show easily, it's a shame what Pendulum's fate was, the concept kicked so much ass.
Most legendary one-way-staring-contest ever!

As soon as I heard the way he said "lead lines" I realized why these voices sound familiar. Aleksander, you sneaky little dork. XD
I thought I was the only one to notice :D
This Interview is embarrassing!
It's like somebody sent their dad round for a chat.....
Lol
rob is musicial genious
I got this on disc from Future Music magazine
Been waiting for this for a long time
So glad I finally subscribed. Otherwise I would've missed a video by one of my idols.
I was interested in that answer, you can learn about anything if you think in the right way
8:29 I'll just stamp this here so I can return to this moment
and yes ive listened to them, i have all 3 albums and had seen them twice on tour; once at Doncaster one in Machester

new pendulum album in 2014, my life is complete
Rob 💖💖💖
Isn't rob swire in knife party?
Knife Party basically is Pendulum without Pendulum's frontman.
CCN Trile Nope. No it isn't. It's sooooooo not.
CCN Trile
Unlike Knife Party; Pendulum had instruments and talent
Johnny Destructoid Thats a stupid comment to make really. Rob and Gareth are some of the most talented people in the industry and have been since the formation of Pendulum.
