Such an amazing interview! James is always sure to drop gems on music production and life in general. I especially appreciated him being vulnerable and open about his experience with stress and anxiety. I thought I was the only one who had that kind of tick when I remember some little moment I regret 😅🙏🏼

James is a legend…. All F9 packs are worth the money and more

[AndyRrayMusic]

A lovely way to spend an hour. Thanks for interviewing James, and thanks for posting this.

[mentataudio]

This is super interesting. What an open and honest interview. Everything from keeping your sonics up to date in great detail to music business approaches and creativity philosophy! Thanks both!

James is a great guy. Been buying his F9 packs for a while now - all awesome quality and he’s always around whenever you ask him something too. Nice to see Harry get a mention - have his 707 mod on mine. Gets used more than my TR-8S for some strange reason.

[mechanicom]

What a lovely chap. I really resonate with his thoughts around fear and anxiety, been there myself! Excellent interview Nick!

[DJPhilAllen]

Thoroughly enjoyable interview, thanks chaps.

[jonr]

Excellent interview. Could have listened to you both talking for hours, hyper interesting.
Thanks Nick, thanks James. 🙂

James Wiltshire is a legend. Great interview!

[ISLAInstruments]

James is such a kind soul, extremely talented and makes not only the best tunes but the best sample packs to boot. Much respect! ❤

[ClaudeYoung]

James is such a legend! So generous with his knowledge. I've learned so much from watching his tutorials over the years! Bravo!!

[rjbush]

Always a great interviewee with James. He passed me on the street this weekend. I didn't know what to say - star struck. Hi James!

[midierror]

James is one of the most phenominally talented producers out there, as well as being an exceptional human being! Fantastci interview!

[MondstaubMusik]

Besides the high quality of F9, the value they have in terms of education can't be overstated. I am pretty sure that F9 is the only brand of all the sample idustry that goes all the way to explain in depth the process of their production. Be it the gear used, how a session is set up & why it is set up the way it is. Any beginning producer/musician should go and check out the series of videos James did on the different generes of dance music. For me especially the Trax series helped me a long way in understanding how arrangements differ between generes of dance music. Thanks & best wishes for the future James.

James is a brilliant guy. We’ve spoken in the past and he’s always been keen to help. Thanks for doing this interview Sonic State, enjoyed the anxiety talk and was very useful for me.

[Claidheambmor]

Such an incredible interview! So many great tips, hadn't considered increasing swing by where each element sits in the mix. More treble = more swing. Bloody brilliant. Thank you so much.

[matthsmatthsmatths]

Its a pleasure knowing James - always a wealth of inspiration, such a lovely fella and really knows his stuff.

[onemanwent]

Fantastic interview. Thanks guys. Your stories from back in the day and production techniques are most entertaining & insightful

[Stakkeroid]

This was absolutely lovely and filled with interesting stuff!

[ashcadell]

What a brilliant chat. James's thoughts about the human condition were exactly what I needed to hear today too.
