I come from the more old-school way of working, so even though I love and use plug-ins, it’s hardware every time that does it for me. Beyond that, I leave it up to the universe as to what inspires me. But, no I don’t have a formula I can apply each time I go into the studio to work. Sometimes I’m in there for days, and not inspired yet all. Other times, it can be a preset on a synth that will get me going. The music that I grew up with also makes its way into my brain consciously and unconsciously, as I figure out melodies to use. A lot of people don’t understand why I take “techno” so serious, and why do I take so long to finish projects. It’s because I need the right inspiration to write!
