Literally none, he just layer samples and doesn't process them, most of his drums are sampled from other records and he just import them in the grid, he mess a bit with the volume, but thats pretty much it.
None of his sounds/plugins are like super secret, he uses a lot Decimator and Filterfreak(which gives the distortion-ish you hear in most of his tracks), on the vocals either EchoFarm or EchoBoy, also ChannelStrip, he uses frequently the BombFactory compressor. I also saw many of AIR Plugins on his sessions.
I just thought I'd share this info because I think its really helpful :)
and what about dr luke?
i really want to know about DR LUKE!!!!
i know he uses hardware filter and some other synth.
but... still..
I think Cirkuit does drum programming for Dr.Luke
Any chance to get those sessions?? ::)

i heard someone on gearslutz had the ET session for katy perry.
for pro tools
Benny Blanco drums doesn't have anything special.
Cirkut puts the BitCrusher fx to EVERYTHING.
There is so much wrong with the original post I don't even know where to begin.
there is no secret. its just samples that sound good from the beginning and sound well in the mix i think
the difference is... they fit into the mix while u sit home and search thru your sample libraries of 10000 samples this dude knows what fit eachother in the mix

Some pretty basic layering:
For kicks: You get a kick with mainly lows with a really short attack and another one with more low-mid range with a "snap" or longer attack that you like. Adjust each of the kicks volume and EQ them if needed so that it punches the way you like, but adjusting the volume is enough most of the time. You can layer more kicks if you want to if you wanna get a different or more punch. EQ, compression and really really short reverb if you feel like to widen it.
For claps: You get a really white-noisy clap and another one that has more texture (distortion, snappy clap), then put a really low percussion sound (like a stick, cowbell, tonal sound) to make the attack even more unique. Adjust the volume of each one to get the texture that you like. EQ, compression, reverb, delay (haas effect) and any other effect that you like.
I always use vengeance samples, with vinyl samples when I layer my drums. It gives a nice character to them.
on my latest production I've layered around 10 kicks, 10 claps and 5 snares :D

Anything to get those drums hitting hard. It's key.
I also add a bit of distortion to them. FXpansion's Maul is great for that.
Layering is the key.
not always. for drums maybe but not other stuff..

Well, first you need to match vocals and a track.
There's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to go before start layering sounds.

I want to tell you so many things, but I'm a polite guy.
Time doesn't matter nznexus, it's your attitude. If you have a right attitude, your music will reflect it, even if you have a long way to go and many things to polish.
That's if you're not trolling obviously.
