You open up your DAW\u2026 How do you usually kickstart a project? Take us through the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAlmost always with choosing a nice Kick and then making the Bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly I have a key in mind because the key really describes what the final outcome (mood) is going to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following that, I make a full percussion section which is then arranged out with Risers & Crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually only after this I start making the sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atmospheres usually first to set the tone then one shots and FX to start a story followed by leads to give the emotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not always in that order but lets say this is usually a good way to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Favourite Synth that you cannot live without?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf I have to choose one then Xfer Serum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No doubt some aspiring producers will be reading- if you could give them one quick tip to better their production, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMake sure you have the best possible source of your raw sound. Be it from the synth or while choosing a sample. It should sound good even with nothing else on your channel strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then after that, just minimal processing to polish it up. A wise man once said, you cant make diamonds from shit so I think the same applies here [laughs] That and to make your listening environment as good as possible. Invest in better studio monitors, soundcard and acoustics before going crazy buying hardware synths!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
