#207 - Kill The Noise: Ableton Workflows, Sound Design, AI & Artist Collaboration

Kill The Noise breaks down his evolving creative process—from couch-surfing bass producer to film scores—while navigating an AI-heavy landscape and real-life deadlines. We dive into his Ableton Live workflow for sidechaining and sound design, “stink mode” bass concepts, and the mindset to finish records without getting stuck in perfectionism.

From film scores to studio production and major festival stages, Jake Stanczak—better known as Kill The Noise—has built a career defined by evolution and experimentation. Influenced early on by visionary filmmakers and boundary-pushing artists, his sound bridges cinematic intensity and forward-thinking electronic music, with collaborations ranging from Skrillex and Deadmau5 to Tom Morello, plus contributions to major film scores like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and xXx: Return of Xander Cage alongside Brian Tyler.
