Track From Scratch - Part 12 - THE FINALE

Track From Scratch - Part 12 - THE FINALE

We got to the finish line! I hope this track from scratch series has been helpful for you and you got to take something big OR small away from it.

This was recorded originally (I think) in the late summer

Track From Scratch - Part 11 - Final Touches Pt. 1

Home stretch on the track here! In this video we start the process of what I like to call "the last 10%" and get the track closer to the finish line. The next video is the last one of this 12 part series! WOO!

in this video we flush out the first half of the main bass sound design in Drop 1! I tried to utilize a different variety of sound design techniques throughout the entire song so stay tuned for more :)

Track From Scratch - Part 7 - Drop Drums + EFX - PART 2

Track From Scratch - Part 7 - Drop Drums + EFX - PART 2

In this video - I finish the drop drums, adjust groove elements, and start layering in more EFX and "Sully Staples" - at this point the drop usually feels like it can start writing itself.

Onto sound design in the next video!

Track From Scratch - Part 6 - Drop Drums + EFX

Track From Scratch - Part 6 - Drop Drums + EFX

In this video we start the heartbeat of the drop AKA the drums and get into some extra arrangement and efx decisions!

This section will be 2-3 parts as there is a lot of meat in the drums!

Track From Scratch - Part 4 - Build Up Drums + EFX (FIXED AUDIO)

Track From Scratch - Part 4 - Build Up Drums + EFX (FIXED AUDIO)

Details are in the title! This part of making a song can definitely take a long time given all the fine little details. I cut out all the fluff I could in this video as it's a lot of trying to find the right sounds/drums to carry energy.

Track From Scratch - Part 3 - Executing Tension

This video is a little bit shorter because the next one is pretty long and I think this topic deserves it's own video. Breaking out of ambience into a build up was always a tricky thing for me to nail down over the years!

Production Stream: Ironing out a WIP

Production Stream: Ironing out a WIP

I think this is the best production stream to date for the Patreon.

Call and response/sound design came together really nicely on this one as well as a lot of the subtle background elements you hear in HQ tracks.

This is a long one, but well worth the watch in my opinion!
