Client is undoubtedly one of the heavy hitters in the Audiotool Bass Music scene. In the beginning, it was sound design experiments, mainly for Heisenberg Bass Sounds and dubstep tracks. But over the years, he has developed into a real, versatile musician who is not afraid of excursions into other, deeper sound worlds and delivers a quality that leaves nothing to be desired. Not without reason was Client one of the favourites in the Featured Artist user votings. We hope to hear a lot more from you, man. Keep it up!

[Editor's note: I love long tracks]

Interview:

About Cory aka Client [Hiatus]

Hi all! My real name is Cory. But I prefer to be called by my Alias Client. I'm originally from Sierra Vista, Arizona. But now I live near Dallas, in Texas. I am 19 years old. Sound design is my favorite pastime. I have a few games that I play here and there. But it’s mostly roblox (that’s all my computer can really handle). I only really play one game on Roblox, the game is called Phantom Forces. I’m almost rank/level 200 on the game, and have over 110,000 kills (I dare you to 1v1 me lol). So really, I’m either playing that or making music. I also REALLY enjoy talking to new people and helping people with music production. Last but certainly not least my fav food is Burgers. It doesn’t really matter what kind they are, just as long as they’re big and juicy!!

Describe the style of music you produce

I make Bass music, but am slowly switching over to Cyberpunk, Cinematic, suspense and Sci-Fi Horror. I don’t know how long I’ll be making that stuff, but we’ll see :)

What is your musical background and when did you start making music?

About 4 years ago I was introduced to Audiotool by someone called bubblicious (aka BubbLz) on a different music making site called Looplabs. I didn’t actually start making music until about 8 months after I made the account ( Fusion ). I actually don’t really have a musical background, other than playing the trumpet in Band for 2 years. But that was like 6 or 7 years ago. So really I’ve only been making music for 3 years and 4 months.

What is your favorite Audiotool device and why?

Probably either the pink reverb or the- Yeah no, it’s the heisenburger, no questions asked (I’m looking at you, Ditto). I like it because you can create a variety of sounds with it whether it’s bells, growls, pads, etc. By the way, when I say that, I mean without any effects - It’s all in the modulation options that the heisenburger comes with. The only downside to the heisenburger is that the sounds down to their base aren’t the most high quality compared to the pulv (like sawtooths for example).

What is your favourite trick in AT/What technique do you always use?

It’d either be using the Pulv input as a phaser for making your sounds sound more meaty, or using the Pulsar delay as a comb filter. It’s hard to choose a favorite technique when all the devices are a huge help in different and unique ways. But between the two, I’d have to go with the Pulsar delay comb filter effect.

Have you ever had a writer's block? If so, how did you deal with it and what do you recommend to your colleagues?

There are really two options to this. Either you go and do something else (preferably not related to music). Or do something in music that you don’t normally do. What I personally do is sound design experimentation, and try to really push my experimentation knowledge with strange combinations of effects and weird resonating (not the good kind of resonating) base sounds and modulation.

What has helped you the most on Audiotool to improve and widen your musical horizon?

The thing that has probably helped me the most are the people here. Not every DAW has a built in community. That being said, my friend Project Epsilon has probably helped me the most with music. Every question I’ve asked him, he’s answered it. Big props to him.

What do you like most about Audiotool? Is there anything you would like to suggest?

What I like the most about it is that it’s free, and that it has in-real-time collaborations. What I would like to see is better sample manipulation. And maybe a new synth haha.

Your message to the community:

I would recommend you guys to publish your experiments, even if you think they are bad (you can get feedback on your experiments). Try going out of your comfort zone, it may not feel like much at the moment, but it’ll help you in the long run. I love you guys, keep experimenting, be friendly and thanks for all the support you’ve given me! <3

Edition Audiotool

Track #1:

Kurea - Irisu by Kurea

First we have Irisu, from Kyurra. I absolutely love this track to death. Though it isn’t completely Audiotool, the emotion and hard work is still there. This has been my #1 fav track ever since I first heard it. It truly tells a story. I would really listen to it if I were you.

Track #2:

Kurea - Oni by Kurea

Track #2 is Kyurra’s track Oni. It’s a bit old in terms of sound design, but still manages to hold up. I chose it because it was the first well designed modern dubstep track at the time it was made. It really deserves some attention imo.

Track #3:

MONIKER by @sndcult

For the third track of my choice I chose MILXN’s track Moniker. Honestly one of the most well mixed and well designed tracks on Audiotool. It really puts most future bass on this site to shame. It shows you that you can do more than just chord stacks for a drop.

Track #4:

Black light by Melancolist

Melancolist is a huge inspiration for some of my Techno attempts. He always has the best ideas for not making the techno genre repetitive sounding. Plus the bass in this is huuuge. I would really recommend checking this out!

Track #5:

The Old World [Remnants OST] by Kyba and Zerod

As for #5 I chose this track by Zerod and Kyba. It’s a Sci-Fi soundtrack, and it’s the reason why I’ve been making that genre a lot recently. Really sick production, I’d check out the entire Album and watch their movie if I were you.

Track #6:

Odyssey [Huge WIP] by Client [Hiatus]

For the track of mine I choose Odyssey. I tried to do something that hasn’t really been done before on Audiotool in terms of the length, story telling, and the amount of sound design that I put in. I feel like this track represents very well what I am aiming for in the music industry (Cinematic/Horror/Sci-Fi). It is certainly one of my best produced tracks. P.s. I hope you like long tracks ;)
