If you listen closely, you&#8217;ll hear a frequently used drum impact used in many of Martin Garrix&#8217;s actual drum patterns. While it is not mixed perfect, I&#8217;m proud of it, and I love how it came out.

I wanted to share this as it allows me to show my diversity and range of styles. I don&#8217;t remember fully, but I believe I used METAL-GTX for this one, a free Heavy Metal soundbank for Sforzando, a soundbank reader. The guitar comes without any effects, but will take any amp plugins, reverb plugins, or distortions you throw on it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UltraX- All I Know is MURDER (Phonk)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fTsaKdb1034?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-519\" style=\"width:114px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/connorjosef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>[ADULT LYRICS]<\/strong> I wanted to show off another Phonk track, but this time to show off filters and fades. I used lots of them in this track. When I work on Phonk, most of the instruments I use are actually samples, as the cowbell sounds the best with an actual sample. If you listen to this track, its actually not all too complex, but I used layers of cowbells in different pitches to give it a very full feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the vault.
