      There's a lot of snobbery in the production community from what I hear.

So talented, awesome work as always!

      Yeah thats the magic. Gonna tack on a million drum layers and they are all playing a role. Maybe for energy, maybe for vibe, maybe for presence but it all works. Austin and my mix engineer are very similar. They find the DNA of the song. Its this mix of creativity and analytical assessment. Its awesome to witness.

    I'd really like if you could slow down a bit when showing your FX Chains to explain a bit more of the "why" behind decisions you've made. There's a lot of teaching opportunities in there I think.

    Thanks for this helpful insight in your workflow! I was just wondering why you don't use Reverb as a Send Effect for some of the Synths and Drum elements. Thereby I also mean using the very same RVB for multiple instruments. Wouldn't this be easier and better for the CPU?

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  Před 2 lety

      I’m never in need to save CPU and I like different synths and percs being in different areas. I’m able to use ALL space my just using reverb and delay inserts on drums, guitars, and synths
