Overmono's Favourite Plugins

We've reported on some great Tapenotes interviews, most recently with Tom Rowlands and Aurora of TOMORA. Here we have Overmono in conversation with host John on some of their favourite plugins and mix bus chain choices. Ruby 3 from Acustica Audio is covered, a high-end tube equalizer designed to recreate the authentic signature sound of the D.W. Fearn VT-5. Also, the Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder is mentioned, and can be found here. Here's more from the video: 

John is joined by Ed and Tom of Overmono to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album 'Pure Devotion'.

Overmono are Welsh electronic duo Tom and Ed Russell. After solo careers as Truss and Tessela, they began producing together as Overmono in 2015. Known for their energetic, acclaimed live shows, they broke through with Good Lies in 2023. Their second album, Pure Devotion, arrived in 2026, exploring experimental studio recording.

Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, Ed and Tom give John a step by step breakdown of their approach to vocal processing, discuss the plug-ins they use for layering synths, get into their unique approach to writing and sequencing drum patterns and reveal why their mix bus would make most audio engineers' heads spin! Plus they answer our Patreons' questions!

Tracks discussed: Ballad, Barum, Knight in Shining Prada
