Awesome Stuff

Right off the bat I have to say I am loving the use of the drum rack in this series. Often modern day audio samples have been processed to death so there is not a lot for newbie producers to do to them, percussion to me up until this point has been a drag and drop exercise, not that there is anything wrong with that of course, but learning in more detail about shaping raw sounds is a massive bonus for me personally. The more in depth look at the audio effects that can compliment the sounds, and the explanation round the actions are as always very informative and detailed, some of the sound processing experimentation I have been trying since watching this one really feels like a level up in the production game, this is again because a lot of the modern day audio samples may have some reverb/delay etc on them, removing the need to learn too much. Creating groove, adding pace and a solid attention to detail are the 3 key things I am taking back into the studio following watching this. 5 stars as always. Thanks AM Studios
