FIVE MINS TO BETTER SOUNDING DRUMS / DRUM PRODUCTION & MIXING TECHNIQUES IN ABLETON LIVE

Posted on by Stevebake

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.

Comment your thoughts and if you want to work with me on your songs, get in touch!

PRODUCTION THAT CONNECTS WITH THE EMOTION OF A SONG

Posted on by Stevebake

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.
