Making a name for himself as producer, remixer and artist, Ade teamed with new wave pioneer Gary Numan in 2006 to co-produce & co-engineer Jagged, and then the double album Jagged Edge. The two have worked on several projects since, including world tours, and two new albums. When he first began working with Soundtoys he had this to say:
“I’m enjoying spreading Soundtoys stuff all over the new material I’m working on with Gary. In particular, Echo Boy and Crystallizer are getting some serious abuse. I’m very, very impressed. So much so, in fact, that my Eventide gear has hardly been used on the new tracks.”
Then, after a project or two he and Gary went on to say, “Soundtoys plugs-ins are so good, they have made our outboard effects almost redundant – even the high end ones! In particular, we love EchoBoy, Crystallizer, Filter Freak, Pan Man and our new ‘go to every time’ plug in, Decapitator. Decapitator manages to give everything an added dynamic. We are working an a new album at the moment and it is fantastic on drums, guitars, bass, vocals… pretty much anything. The quality – as with all Soundtoys plug-ins – is astounding.”
