I had NO IDEA you could drop envelopes and shapers directly into a drum rack as their own unique pads! By doing this, you can input MIDI notes into the piano roll to affect your drum hits only when they're triggered.
I've attached a quick project showcasing three ideas for using these rack...
Did you notice in yesterday's episode, all of the examples mentioned were the artists debut release? Such an odd coincidence! Regardless, I hope you enjoyed the episode AND the pack of sounds below!

Dude, this weeks video with Cableguys "Snapback" really illuminated to me (and I think alot of you who discovered the device with me) how wonderful it is to see a truly helpful device be created which we hadn't seen and didn't know we needed prior, top stuff from that team!

There was something so satisfying about recording the intro of this 150+ times (Originally my intention was to livestream the trial and error process but technology was just not playing ball that day) It kind of reminded me of time trialling video games, trying to get that perfect run when I was ...

Today's episode is a behind the scenes look at what goes into creating these videos!
It's running a little behind schedule as I wanted to put a little more production into it than I usually do and, as a result I hope you'll enjoy it even more and forgive me for my lateness!
However, as to...

Better yet, I've done it for you and you can download it for Live 11 Suite & Live 12 Suite below!
Three years ago, I released 'Fuji Glow' with Oedera (& Rebecca Mardal). I thought you might enjoy a look back at how the demos evolved into the final master and how workflows have changed over time.
Back in October 2021, I didn't worry about LUFS or where to place a compressor in the ch...

I've been using this quick fix since my early days in studios, a wonderful way to get that analog dry "thump" in all your drums. Decided we should create something similar for your oneshot samples, add the towel, resample, done! ✅
