    Interesting interview, interesting guy...thanks NS2HD!

    Would have been fun to see him recording sounds but I guess that's mostly done.

    Simon does a lot of live streaming so you can watch him create & edit sounds pretty much anytime he's working. He usually posts to his thread right before he's about to start.

    ETA: Here's the link to Simon's <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=114991&st=60&p=1890322&#entry1890322" target="_blank">"Watch me work"</a> thread.

    I'm curious what keyboard that is. I'm actively looking for a good midi-keyboard with some faders and pushbuttons.

    I think he is more into the "Dark Psychedelic trance" scene/producer which is awesome.....they make such freaking mind blowing sounds that you even cant imagine how they have done it...i love it....i hope he/uwe dont dislikes it that i mentioned this here....much prejudices....

    PS: I think there where some old news when he joined uwe showing some of the music he made.....but cant find it anymore....maybe uwe deleted it.

    Déjà vu. Was Simon introduced by UWE in the past?

    I like all yoursounds that you do. Very good job.

    Bass is good in musics but when doing repeat sounds e.g. shoots etc. remove basses. After 1 billion shots it really hurts ears. You must play Half-Life 1 or some other games for that i think.

    So this shooting sound @6:22 of this video is really hurt my ears.
