I’ll show you how I chop my drums, what I look for in a break, what device I like to use, and I’ll create a breakbeat loop in the end.
The techniques I use are universal and not DAW-specific.

“Legacy” (Metalheadz) video walkthrough

Now on Patreon: a walkthru video of my Metalheadz song, Legacy.
It’s the song of mine that’s got the most plays (if that matters at all).

Watch here.

I’m going thru the project and showing what’s happening, why, talking a bit about what I think makes a Metalheadz song, the importance of different song sections etc.

Class in session, so grab a classy brew and start making some notes.

“Should I limit my master?”

“Would there be any benefit to temporarily putting a limiter on the master in order to highlight any issues in the mix (I mean would it highlight anything too loud in the mix or annoying frequencies)?”

This is a good question, and I’m happy to answer this. Even if you’re not that interested in mastering, this can be useful, because it can kind of give you some feedback on your mix.

My detailed answer and thoughts on the matter can be found here on Patreon.
