Tutorial: Vocal Processing

Yo yo! 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope y'all have a great weekend with loved ones. 

I'm using a lot of 3rd party plugins in this video to explain vocal processing but I tried to keep all the explanations universal. As always, if you have any questions - don't hesitate to drop them below! 

Enjoy!

Tutorial - Delay Time to Hz Conversions

Hey y'all! (Heads up the audio from ableton comes in a little hot) 


Found this old gem on my google drive from the online music production program I made this for and I think it's extremely valuable to share. 


Most things can be converted to Hz including rhythms/bpms - In this video I will show you how to do so and some handy resources to make it easy :) 


Let me know if you have questions.

Tutorial: Randomization Tool using Drum Rack

I learned this trick back at ICON collective and it's definitely a go to when I'm stuck on a song. 


I highly recommend taking a few hours to make calculated racks using samples that you love. Maybe a melodic version? A drum version? Etc. 


Enjoy and more videos coming very soon.

Tutorial: Creative Transitions Using Filters & Time Based FX

Walked through a garage tune that I'm working on and demonstrate how I use spatial FX and filtering to create smooth transitions in between sections of a song.

Denzel Curry - SUMO (Sully Flip)

I made this flip over the summer and it's been absolutely smashing in my sets. 


I don't know that I'll ever have the chance to release it on soundcloud/audius - but I can certainly gift it to my Patreon! :) 


I hope you all enjoy this little freebie!

Track Breakdown: Back It Up

Back with another track breakdown for y'all! 


I'm going to be uploading these quite a bit as we get the ball rolling on the Patreon. 


Hope you guys enjoy :) 


p.s. you'll have to excuse the messy project, the only one I still had on my PC was a version prior to the final mix session which we did on G-REX's computer.

P.S.A.

Hey y'all, 

The really exciting thing about this Patreon is that it's brand new and we are a small community! 

I'm excited to keep growing but my main concern at the moment is helping you guys and creating content that you all want to see :) 

Anytime you guys have a suggestion or something you may want to see put together - don't hesitate to reach out!

Tutorial: Serum Auto Vibrato

Short video here - but my lord is this worth sharing. 


Maybe you already knew about this trick, maybe not - but this is going to save a lot of time in the future no doubt. 


With the click of one button you can generate a vibrato effect on a serum generated sound/synth. Love little hacks like this!

Tutorial: Reverb Throw

Hey y'all! 


One of the staples of my production style are my reverb throws. I use them in every song! 


In this video I explain how the rack works with the assigned macros and I also demonstrate how it's used in context with one of my unreleased tracks! 


I've included the rack as an attachment! Enjoy!

Track Breakdown - Scorcher

Hey y'all! 


I put a questionnaire out last week prior to launching the Patreon to see what track of mine you would want to see broken down the most. 


Honestly, it was a 5 way tie so I just picked Scorcher for now! 


I will be uploading track breakdowns on a pretty regular basis - so lots more to come :)

Sully Sound Vault Vol. 1 (Sample Pack)

Hey everyone! 


Wanted to kick this Patreon off by including a bunch of little samples and nuggets from songs I've released. 

I've concentrated on trying to make them USEABLE - for example there won't be any full drop loops but rather one or two main hits from the drop so you can resample them and create your own riffs using the same starting point. 

I appreciate you supporting this Patreon - tag me in videos on instagram with what you make in the pa...
