- Processing Breaks from processed samples
- Crafting Breaks from scratch
- Breakbeat samples as a way to start ideas
- Low end mixing

Rationale:
I've really felt lately that I didn't put out nearly as much music than I wanted. This prompted me to show the very current of gyrofield work and package together all the new techniques I've learnt into a series of tutorials. In this 84 minute installment it's a deep dive into several approaches I take to drum arrangements, design and mixing. This ranges from finding inspiration in individual samples, to writing to a vocal, to emulating the workflow of a drum machine.

I really hope you enjoy me wringing my creative brain out and giving out my perspective in its fullest!
