MUSIC PRODUCTION INSPIRATION – CANDY IS ADDICTIVE
Syncopated layers of detail & blending of unusual & unique textures can achieve a sound that elevates the emotion and the arc of a song. The goal for me is to include elements in the production which reward repeat listens.

FIVE MINS TO BETTER SOUNDING DRUMS / DRUM PRODUCTION & MIXING TECHNIQUES IN ABLETON LIVE
Hang with me for five mins while I walk you through some drum mixing ideas, tips, techniques. Nothing crazy but often this attention to detail or effort is missed. Drums are a hugely important part of any production (besides those without drums!). Ableton live has some incredible sounding and very cool stock plugins, including Drum Bus – which is all over my mixes and productions.

PRODUCTION THAT CONNECTS WITH THE EMOTION OF A SONG
This song is a real journey. A great piece of songwriting that was a collaborative journey to create. I was sent an old demo recording. From this I built a new, more cohesive and solid instrumental and then the vocals were recorded by @_nee_nee_no_no_ in The Netherlands. Then after I received these, I adjusted things and re-recorded some layers so it all felt like a band playing together. Most parts were recorded in one take. Can’t wait for it to be out there! It’s called Red by Nee Nee No No.
