Great video; I'd like to add for a bit more detail on the 4-band explanation for anyone reading comments; As you go up in frequency bandwidths; octave ranges follow an exponential pattern; where-by each octave is a double in frequency providing wider bandwidths as you go up the frequency spectrum; 55-110 hz - A-A Octave (55hz of bandwidth); 880-1760 - A-A Octave (880hz of bandwidth); 3520-7040 - A-A Octave (3520hz of bandwidth) In the high-mid example there are a lot more elements; but also; those higher frequency bands have more bandwidth/room available for you to place those sounds; In the low end; it's much more difficult because there's less bandwidth leading to more frequency masking; I hope this helps contribute to the value people get from this video!

@Alckemy 11 ай бұрын

Really well done. The space segment is so important with heavy drum music like dnb or halftime. In order for you to have that off time sense of groove you really have to have spaces between hits. The silence is key.

Great video. Thank you. Some really outstanding ideas here. Designing percussion sequences in a given band in terms of the 'call and response' model is just lovely and at the same time the tutorial also covers stereo width and mixing principles and...well there is so much there it's just wonderful. I will have to watch it again. This is precisely the attention to detail and clarity of artistic vision that is missing in so many KZfaq tutorials. Next month I think I might take one of your courses. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us!

Wow you just blew my mind. I got into production just a month ago , came across your video and i thought let me just fill my grid (by hand , normaly use mpk3) like you did at 1.24 mark. And when i pressed play for the first time i expected a mess , but its the best beat i made since i started , lol. Always wanted to know how these types of beats were made. The latter part of ur video is to complicated for me now, but i learned something value to me at the first 2 min of ur video. I subbed directly and gonna check all ur stuff. Many thanks from the netherlands 🙏

What if the tone of the snare is covered by 8-9 synths (both pads and lead), how would you preserve that? Cutting frequencies on so many synths or sidechaining all the synths to the snare did not seem to work well. Personally, I decided to sacrifice the snare and let it be covered by the synth frequencies, but if there were an effective solution, I would be very happy to adopt it.

@Lennardandlennard 3 ай бұрын

have you tried a frequency-specific sidechaining solution like soothe or trackspacer? (could also do a simpler variant of this with a multiband EQ sidechained to the snare)
