[PKJCorp]

Wow thats amazing, I found Len Bolier muzic about 3 months ago, and to see track that I have benn listening for 3 months in creation mode - it's unbelievable. Thanks Leon.

[johnniemaretti]

Please write site were you take samples. Thanks!

[australiandj]

@johnniemaretti been a while but anyways he mentioned 'loopmasters'

[DynapzeMedia]

sounds sooo warm and chilling! this is what music should be...

make the music with a feeling and not just imitate every artist and sample kicks and steal someone elses masterpiece which took him or her a very long time to create...

this man leon know how it works! his own style and a maserpiece of music!

[Aquinoxmusic]

This is one epic ch00n! Makes me wanna have ur album even more after seeing this:D I saw in another vid with Cliff C. and JOOP! that you use Izotope Ozone as mastering tool. do you plan on making a tutorial on that? would be interested in that :) At what samplerate do you mix by the way?

[MrJohnvarela]

Shimamoto !!!

[soufqnzter83]

i wish that i could work with you i have soo many tracks unheard untouched just sitting here. but there are so many other dj's with egos that just dont care about the smaller dj's. but from your page and since you took out the time to help us others out i can see you are genuinely a down to earth person and a god of a dj

[spencerismyhero]

is there an official release date for the album yet?

[leonbolierofficial]

@spencerismyhero yep - august 31st!

[djgordontrancer]

Shimamoto!!

[jimmybofficial]

[TranceDash]

Oh man this is great :d

[aldrin151]

[djjme07]

what's the website you get the loops from Leon?

[narenik]

Hey Leon,

What kind of pad did you use by the trilogy vst?

Thanks a lot.

[SSdraken]

Can anyone here what synth leon is using for the main bass line? he says at 2:10 'i made it with the ??x-f-rs??'. I don't know what word he is saying there, but I'd be interested to know :)

[yukonmusic]

he made it with access virus synth

[SSdraken]

@yukonmusic cheers. shame that costs like £2000 o_0 mad could buy a fully upgraded macbook pro for that

[DJSEVERIN007]

It's the Access Virus. Great Monster Synth!!

[19Bullet87]

ahhhh shimamootoooo haha cool

[daryld161]

what a tune

[Domazzi]

Hey Leon, thanks for sharing some of your tricks! ( but what do you have against colors? ;) )

[KalokoTube]

hello leon...nice work from you...i am producer too and i just have a question...

you are using so many sounds...and many effect sounds...with a lot of reverb and delay...how do you achieve to sound so clear...i mean and every sounds sounds clearly...wich is something that i always mess in my mixes...although i use sidechain comp...eq..saturator...and all these stuff my mixes sometimes sound so dump

[jarooFLtutor]

try not to overdo reverb on sounds, keep it clean and equalize/compress/multiband etc accordingly to needs of the sounds :)

[leonbolierofficial]

yep indeed, a matter of balance :)

[SSdraken]

@KalokoTube think about the audio of your track as a 3 dimensional space. to the left and right is your panning, up and down are your frequencies and forward and backwards are the dryness of the sounds (reverb putting it further away, and dryer sounds closer). Every sound in your mix needs to occupy its own space in the space. Where 2 sounds are sitting on top of each other (overlapping) then it will sound unclear and 2 dimensional.

[SSdraken]

@SSdraken the most important part is the frequencies. limit yourself to a smaller number of sounds and make sure they all have space in the mix. you can use a tool like 'spectrum' in ableton live to look at your instruments and see what frequencies they are occupying, then filter out unwanted frequencies above and below that area. Do this for every instrument to tighten up your sound :)

[TranceForTheFuture]

True legend Leon. True legend.

[Revi111]

The Kicks in your tracks,how do you make them?. Im asking because Your Kicks are very massive.

[leonbolierofficial]

layering, eqing, cutting, boosting....and most important: listening! :)

[Tiestolover]

i love how you use different sounds from different cultures :) keep it up !

[mon3104]

i don't know if you're registered to a record label but if not just send this track to armin on twitter or somewhere or to armada music...you've got skills mate ;)

[xRuFFZx]

is this a joke>>?> he is signed loool .

[mon3104]

@xRuFFZx aaa ok sry but to be honest this is the first time i heard of him maybe i have heard a song but didn't know he artist..if its so then it's great for him and for me...another producer to start follow already bought his LEON BOLIER - PICTURES :)...10x for the info :)

[mon3104]

awsome!!!! when is the album released exactly?

[leonbolierofficial]

august 2010 i hope :)

[mon3104]

ooo grt...good job ;)

[DjIvanMiranda]

wich is the name of the site to download the loops Leon?

[lolowaty2]

whats name of the song?

[narenik]

I always asked myself : how to begin a new track? You have a lot of layers, how do you start? Do you start with a beat, or with a nice synth? Thanks again!!

[leonbolierofficial]

doesnt matter! sometimes i start with the beats, sometimes with the pads, sometimes the melody..

[narenik]

Thanks man!!!! You are the best!

[narenik]

Hey there,

How can I get those blue lines under ( or above ) the midi parts. Is it true that you can do some automation with it? I can't figger out how to do that. Thanks a lot!

[leonbolierofficial]

drag n drop the instrument channels under or above the midi channels... select whatever parameter you want to automate and voila

[godspeed18]

no idea what's going on but one thing for sure is that is is gonna be an amazing track. one day, i want to produce as well. any tips on where to start??

[leonbolierofficial]

[Revi111]

Why you cram one tube in your Alesis

[leonbolierofficial]

to reduce some bass :)

[terreurschaap]
