    It is really great you posting very specific ideas/tips!

  • @TheCALMInstitute
    @TheCALMInstitute Před rokem +13

    Also, pro tip: a shaker is an incredibly cheap instrument. if you don’t have a basket of these in the studio to record with, you should! Especially if you want a less “clinical” result than this. (This tutorial is excellent but the end result is extremely polished and styled.)
    I generally record 16 bars of shaker and then layer/pan/side chain/saturate/phase distort. Tambourine in particular is surprisingly difficult to get right with samples, you might be surprised how good a $30 tambourine sounds with an SM57!

    I have a nice tip to add to this. If you go to the individual hits and activate the LFO on random Sine. Then go to controls, inactive the LFO Trigger (the Yellow R button) and in the same LFO section raise the volume to around 15-20 percent and the pitch to around 3-5 percent (adjust to taste)
    every hit will be slightly different.

  • @ShoShoUK85
    @ShoShoUK85 Před rokem +2

    Great video! I like to use slightly more aggressive grooves than I think I will need, like Swing MPC Funker 16ths 60 or Swing MPC Double Down 16ths 60, then dial back the amount of swing globally using the timing setting within the groove pool. 100% is the full swing per the groove, 0% is completely straight. I think of it like dry/wet but for groove instead of effect. The great thing about doing it this way is you can globally adjust later if you want to experiment with a little more or less swing through the track. I often use two separate grooves and apply them to different parts if I need to adjust the swing on batches of grooves. Remember, you can right click a track and use the "select track content" option to select all midi clips in that channel then change which groove is applied. Once you find grooves you like, you can save them all in your song template so they are ready to go whenever you need them :)

    This seems like an awful lot of steps to go through to achieve a result that's so dull and lousy.

    • @DowdenProductionAcademy
      @DowdenProductionAcademy  Před rokem +1

      With that attitude you will never become a talented producer. Some things can be achieved easily, while others take a lot of time to craft the fine details. Especially in this specific genre where details are important.
      Please share the loops you've created that don't sound 'dull and lousy', I'd love to hear them :)
