  1. Having recently watched a Christian Henson video, I became fascinated by a technique I observed him using, whereby he achieved a fat drum sound. Open Logic and pick your favourite drum sound, for the sake of this tip I Ultrabeat and the 808 preset Following your choice of bass drum, create a second track and use the Logic Utility instrument called test oscillator In the oscillator's menu tune it to 60hz 192.168.0.1 routerlogin 192.168.l.l After tuning it, add a noise gate effect to the channel strip, to do this click "Audio Effects" scroll to Dynamics and then click "Noise Gate" Open the noise gate menu and click "Sidechain" then select the track your bass drum is on Finally set the noise gate to a "Attack" of 3ms, a "Hold" of 60ms and a "Release" of 24ms or whatever you feel comfortable with. Play your kick drum again and now you should be able to really feel the thickness of the drum.
  2. For the last five years I was part of a duo. I'd write the songs and play most of the instruments and my friend would play drums and occasionally guitars, sing and do the fine-tuning production. He recently got his dream job out of state, so I'm now trying to figure out mixing and mastering on my own. I don't know much besides adjusting volume levels, guitar tones and panning. What are some things you do with any track for instrumental separation, dynamics, and clarity? I don't need my stuff to sound as perfect as, say, the new Anderson .Paak album, and a lot of my favorite records are scuzzy and lo-fi, but I want all the parts to come through. I know there is a wealth of YouTube videos out there for this, but so many of them are terrible. Link me to the best. Thank you!
