For "Time to Melt," Sam Owens harnesses the modulation features of the Korg SDD-2000 to craft intriguing textures for both the drum machine and guitars. He processes the drum machine with the delay set to fully wet and significantly cranks up the modulation depth for a noticeable impact. This method requires the delay time to be kept short to prevent notable timing shifts in the drum tracks, or alternatively, any discrepancies in timing must be adjusted post-recording in the DAW. Beyond modulation, Owens enhances the guitars by utilizing the stereo outputs of the SDD-2000, creating a wide stereo image with one side phase-inverted compared to the other, further enriching the track's sonic landscape.
