Talk Up (gyrofield's Tooth & Nail Mix) (Track Breakdown)
Added 2024-06-23 16:04:09 +0000 UTCHi all, this remix ended up being quite interesting to delve into as it involved a lot of hardware parts, recordings, & using digital tools to trace over the musical characteristics of those recorded bass & fx sounds. One hour of ideas, how to use certain plugins, why I use certain plugins, and mixing bits - it's definitely a more technical session this time!
Session on Bass is up next, I'll be kicking that off with a session of me designing bass on my Korg Monologue!
