In this video, KSHMR walks us through a hip hop track he recorded for his new album Karam. This song, B.I.G., featuring Harjas is one of the highlights of the Karam album, and KSHMR shows us everything that went into producing it including the plugins he used, the production techniques he applied, and how he processed the rap vocals on the song. KSHMR is a world renowned EDM and Hip Hop Producer and released a groundbreaking new album, Karam, last month featuring some of the biggest names in the Indian Hip Hop scene including Harjas, MC STAN, Seedhe Maut, Raja Kumari, Yashraj, Nazz, Munawar Faruqui, Raftaar, and many more.

So I too use Fivver and have been for a while. In fact, when I did Sanddunes and Shorelines and the track "Midnight", I tried doing my own sax solo, but I did not like the results either with the sound or my keyboard performance of said sax. So I went to Fivver, found a saxophonist who could realise what I had in mind, worked out a deal, got the results and was incredibly pleased. So yes, there is something to be said about working with actual musicians when the need for it arises. He does have a point about delay leaning to the right sounding "more natural". I think it has to do with how you perceive sound in a space (and delay is a spatial effect).

Lately, I've been starting with the melody. For many years, I started with drums to get a feel for the tone. There are 2 people that could draw you in with just a drum beat and bassline. Phil Collins, and Michael Jackson. You know their songs before they even sing. Thanks, KSHMR for showing us your workflow! So cool.

This is amazing ... been following his work for a while. I love how he brings together the ideas from various places, various inspirations, and also that he will do anything to pull a sing together. His success is because he thinks outside of the box, for example, hiring people on Fivver. He's focused on the goal of seeing something come to fruition and that's awesome. Also, his humbleness and shout out to the artists, Fivver singers, co-producers, etc. is a true example of how you want to see someone you admire act. Thanks Kshmr for letting us visit along with Sanjay and Dharti!

Another great video from Sanjay! Keep them coming!! Also I learnt that clipping from the 808's isn't a bad thing as it can help 808's punch through in the mix. (I always made sure my 808's weren't clipping in my track but this has helped me see a different perspective.)

I'm just learning Ableton Live and I'm also interested in learning how to make macros like these - especially the one that allows for fine/large grain control of volume. Are there any useful tutorials out there? I've tried Google searching but perhaps I'm not using the right search terms (tried combinations of macro, effects rack, effects, etc.).

I really come from the old school where all you needed was kick, snare, high hat, and clap. It was about the syncopation of the lyrics. I could never afford to have the 80’s equipment, but now I can get EVERY SOUND on my computer and iPad. Watching videos like this make me feel that things have gotten too complicated. I still have fun making stuff on a DAW, but my 30 year old kids are not feeling my style at all… LOL! For context, I was born 1968 Oakland, CA.

@pratitghosh5973 7 ай бұрын

Not exactly something new, but as KSHMR mentions, I am also the type of guy to just open up Kontakt and dive into a new sample library to get a job done, instead of getting another artist to do it for me. Heck, I have musician friends who'd do it in a heartbeat. This just gave me a wake up call to start doing that more instead of reaching for something virtual. Edit: Using a shelf instead of a vocal is interesting. Gotta give THAT a try.

@troytinsley148 7 ай бұрын

I love how KSHMR makes tools pretty much on the fly. Whether it's a filter or macro, I can see it making the workflow more productive. That way, he doesn't have to continue to remake it later. The more I listen, I more I understand about having a good ear. I know he comes from India, but ithas a Latin flavor to it as well.
