Mixing & Mastering Slots (FULL FOR FEBRUARY)

Hey everyone, 

I appreciate the overwhelming positive response to the new mixing and mastering services! 

I am full for the month of February but I will start taking slots for March if anyone is interested :) 

New tutorial video coming later today too :) 

Annoucement

I will be opening slows for mixing and mastering (see previous post for details)

I'm not going to be opening a tier on the Patreon for this, I'll just be handling the coordination via DM's! 

If you are interested, I'm going to fill out the slots on a first come, first serve basis! 

DM me if you are interested and we can get it sorted!

Gauging interest here...

I'm thinking about opening 1-2 slots per month where you would receive my mixing & mastering services. Typically, I charge 500$ per track but I'm thinking 300$ for active patreon members sounds fair.

Not only would I mix & master the song for you - but you would also get the project file back and we would schedule a 1v1 zoom call where we go over everything that I've done. 

You get the final product and you obtain the knowledge to where you can hopefully execute the n...

We've had a lot of new members since I posted the first Patreon sample pack but I wanted to repost it here for all those who may have missed it.

Announcement

Hey all - 

Dropping the Sully Sound Vault Vol. 1 tomorrow via public and I'm here to tell you to NOT buy it. You guys get that content included as Patreon members :) 

That being said I'm working on Vol. 2 right now and you guys will all have access to the pack first! 

Track Breakdown: Duck Hummus

Definitely one of my most requested breakdown videos so I figured this would be a great way to kick off the New Year!

Hope you all had a refreshing holiday season - I'm excited to get back into posting in the Patreon!

Duck Hummus Breakdown?

Thinking about ways to start out 2023 and this got requested a couple times already. Who's into it?!

Track From Scratch: Module 8 - Final Touch Ups Pt. 2

WE DONE BABY!

At least for now. I will continuously tweak this remix until it's "finished" but I think it's "done" for the purposes of this module series. 

Track From Scratch: Module 8 - Final Touch Ups Pt. 1

Not a whole bunch left to do - I'm super happy with how everything is sounding. 

In these last two videos, I go over minor details and finish it up. Last video is already recorded. I will get that up early next week so you all have a few days to digest this one. 

Happy Holidays!!!

MERCH IS LIVE

Hey all :)

Just wanted to drop in here and let you know that my merch store is now live and I released my first soccer jersey today!

They are 70$ plus shipping but you can use the code "Patreon" at checkout for 10% off of your purchase.

Track From Scratch: Module 7 - Bridge & 2nd Drop

The track takes quite the turn but I think we wrapped up the meat of the project. Going to sit on it over the weekend and revisit early next week. 

We should be in a position to do final mixdown tweaks and the master next week! 

Track From Scratch: Module 6 - Finishing Drop 1

WOW - I'm really starting to love how this is sounding. We end up finishing the first drop up for the most part in this video. The direction is cooking and we have a lot of momentum to work with going into the second drop!

Vocal Chop rack in attachments as well 

Track From Scratch: Module 5 - Filling Out Drop 1

YO YO! 

Made some GREAT progress in this video. I think we've established the meat and bones of the first drop and this will give us an excellent launching point to add the fine details to this drop in the next video :) 

Love where this is going!

Reese bass patch is attached as well. 

Question

Hey y'all! 

Just spoke to PEEKABOO last week and discussed getting in the studio together to breakdown our collaboration 'Sacrament' for you guys! 

Smash the like button if this is something you would be into :) 

Track From Scratch: Module 4 - Neuro Fills

Yo Yo! 

So this video is lengthy for the result. I actually only end up creating 2 neuro-esq fills in this time period - but I walk through some of my methods of how to get really interesting neuro fills through filtering, distortion, re-filtering, and then re-distorting. 

These fills take time to get right and I think it's only fair to not short cut this process and show you guys exactly how I come up with something like this - hence why it's almost an hour long.

...

Track From Scratch: Module 3 - Drop Drums

Pretty straight forward here - went over drop drums! The selection, a bit of mixing/leveling, but mostly just creating the right vibe prior to getting into sound design. 

First drop is halftime, second drop is dnb!

As always, let me know if you have questions in the comments :) 

Q&A

Literally ANY questions you have about production/touring/industry stuff/etc. feel free to ask away :)

This Patreon is meant to be a learning source on all fronts!

Track From Scratch: Module 2 - Build Drums + FX + 2nd verse arrangement ideas

Alright! Round 2 to get ya into the weekend :) 

In this module we go intro build up drums and making sure we have the correct amount of tension going into the 2nd drop. I also had a bit of extra time at the end so I decided to get into the 2nd verse, pre chorus, and build section. 

In the next video we are going to be hammering down on drop drums! 

Announcement

Just a quick note that I forgot to mention in the original P.S.A. - I'll be posting these module videos for the track from scratch every few days so everybody has some time to catch up with the previous video!

Track From Scratch: Module 1 - creating the foundation

ALRIGHT - HERE WE GO! 

Video 1 of the series is underway. You get a 2 in 1 with this video series. I was recently given the opportunity to remix my friend PEEKABOO's song "When I'm Gone" so not only do you guys get my process from start to finish - but I'll also be remixing a song and vocal. 

Module 1 is all about creating the foundation, theme, and songwriting elements for the track. I really enjoy where this idea is heading :)

Some serum presets I used are attach...

P.S.A.

Hey everyone! 

I'm going to be starting a new video segment this week where I build a song from scratch. I want to make the videos digestible so I'll be breaking them up and posting them as I progress through each stage of the song. There won't exactly be a time limit thing because as we all know songs can go through a lot of twists and turns but I think this will be a cool masterclass-esq experiment for everyone.

P.S. - I'll also be posting some other content in a...
