For Cortis
Questions I’d love to ask Cortis
If I ever got five minutes in a room with CORTIS, this is what I’d ask. Most of it is about how they actually make things — the plugins, the process, the fear part nobody really talks about. Some of it is just fun. Number 16 is an inside joke and I’m keeping it.
Favorite VST and favorite plugin?
Would you ever collab on a beat with fans?
Can you walk us through your mixing process?
Can you talk about your vocal technique?
Can you explain the process of making a song, start to finish?
Would you ever do a variety show where each of you teaches a skill — Martin and Juhoon on production, Seonghyeon and Keonho on singing, James and Keonho on dancing, James on video editing?
How do you get past fear?
What do you do when you feel afraid and stuck in freeze mode?
Which producers do you look up to?
How do you get started in music when you are broke?
FL Studio vs Logic Pro vs Ableton vs Cubase — what is your pick?
Can you share a singing tip or something that made your voice sound better?
What do you focus on when writing raps?
What album changed your life, and why?
What book changed your life, and why?
You know we gon’ ball like we in the league?
Do you have a favorite drum kit pack?
Variety show idea — a Cortis reading club, once a month. Yes?
While you’re here
If you want more of their world, the song recommendations show exactly what’s in their headphones, and the book list covers what they read. A proper Letters section is coming soon.
