My Forever Studio

Australian producer Ninajirachi’s brand of ‘girlEDM’ blends hyperpop, hard dance, electro house, and video game music. She’s remixed for Deadmau5 and The Neptunes, opened for Charlie XCX, and has been likened to Scary Monster’s-era Skrillex. On the eve of her debut full-length album release, we talk about making tracks dancefloor functional, the lengths to which she’ll go when processing her own vocals, and an unusually adorable softsynth. Season 7 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the incredible new iD48 audio interface. https://audient.com/ [https://audient.com/] https://audient.com/products/audio-interfaces/id48/ [https://audient.com/products/audio-interfaces/id48/] STUFF WE TALK ABOUT (SPOILERS AHEAD) https://www.ninajirachi.com/ [https://www.ninajirachi.com/] https://musictech.com/features/interviews/ninajirachi-interview-girl-edm-disc-1/ [https://musictech.com/features/interviews/ninajirachi-interview-girl-edm-disc-1/] Madeon - Pop Culture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B496Qv0CuOQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B496Qv0CuOQ] https://soundcloud.com/CASHMERECAT [https://soundcloud.com/CASHMERECAT] https://pcmusic.info/ [https://pcmusic.info/] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_Robinson] https://www.lanewayfestival.com/ [https://www.lanewayfestival.com/] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banff,_Alberta [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banff,_Alberta] https://www.lifx.com/ [https://www.lifx.com/] https://soundcloud.com/ninajirachi/fuckmycomputer [https://soundcloud.com/ninajirachi/fuckmycomputer] https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio/plugins/gross-beat [https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio/plugins/gross-beat] Fruity Dance https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-learning/fl-studio-online-manual/html/plugins/Fruity%20Dance.htm [https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-learning/fl-studio-online-manual/html/plugins/Fruity%20Dance.htm] https://reverb.com/uk/p/blue-bottle [https://reverb.com/uk/p/blue-bottle] https://www.genelec.com/8361a [https://www.genelec.com/8361a] https://www.genelec.com/music-studio/8361a-w371a-stereo-system [https://www.genelec.com/music-studio/8361a-w371a-stereo-system] https://www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-l-2-limiter-plug-in [https://www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-l-2-limiter-plug-in] https://uk.yamaha.com/en/musical-instruments/pianos/products/p-series/p-45/ [https://uk.yamaha.com/en/musical-instruments/pianos/products/p-series/p-45/] https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-stage-4/ [https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-stage-4/] https://soniccharge.com/synplant [https://soniccharge.com/synplant]
