Okay so i was in the studio with Big Gigantic and he showed me his sidechain process. its basically the same as what weve been doing but with a plug in that allows audio to trigger a volume shaper. and its incredibly simple. no more mirroring MIDI to your kicks. Just route your kick to the plug in and youre good to go. ive been wanting this for so long lol
2024-04-05 00:44:43 +0000 UTC View PostGot asked an interesting question that i wanted to share with the class. I definitely went through the same sort of thoughts and confusions coming up so i thought it would be helpful to share a little about the current way i approach about mixing and master.
"The workflow that's been impressed upon me for years is: write the track, export all MIDI to audio, mix with maybe some processing on the mix bus while leaving a good bit of headroom but no limiting or clipping on the mix b...

Hey everyone! Happy October.
This month we've got my latest release getting covered in this walkthrough. A fun and creative project that I learned a bit from and hopefully you get something out of it as well.
This felt like a more carefree and loose project which was honestly a really interesting practise for me creatively. and i think is one of the biggest take aways from this.
Hope you enjoy!

Part 2 is out! Here we dive into how to lay out your set in ableton. We really start building the set out here, seeing whats working and whats not, exactly how transitions work, if we need to edit or produce something to make it work better, exactly how long the set is and how to mould it to our needs.
This is a SUPER helpful resource to have and one that i use literally all the time. Its great to be able to have a streamlined process for this as this can be time consuming otherwi...
2023-09-08 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhats up everyone, happy September!
Working on getting you guys some more content right now, but i just wanted to get you guys around some gems that you may not have seen before, or maybe even be helpful to revisit.
**NOTE** I've just added a new feature. There should be a "Collections" tab at the top of the home page which will lead you where I've now grouped the videos into Walkthrough's, Tutorials and Q&A's for easier navigating.
Hi eeryone!
Sorry im late, its been a crazy month as some of you may have seen. two trips back and forth from the UK and Europe put me on my ass haha. But they were super successful and super fun times.
But this months vid is a walkthrough for my new song with Britt Lari, Drift!
Its a real cruisy song to go through, fairly simplistic compared to a lot of my projects. Just showing that the use of effective elements goes a long way.
Hope this is helpful for y...

Happy June everybodddyyyyy its time for another WALKTHROUGH!!
This month we've got a step by step on my Laserbeam remix. All the drum n bass goodness.
As I've expressed in this video, its a really interesting insight to simplicity. There isn't too much going on in here but its all super effective! I learnt A LOT from this remix.
Hope you guys get something out of it too

Hope you're all doing well.
Please excuse the lack of content so far this month. my EDC set has absolutely taken over my life. Its the most amount of time and effort and money ive put into a set and it has consumed a ridiculous amount of my time over the past month and a half haha. But in turn, it is going to be unreal, i am very excited for it!
Things will be back to our usual schedule shortly! In the mean time. Would you guys be down to do a Q&a...

Howdy how!
Today we got a stonker of a video. coming in at 92 minutes long lol. An in depth breakdown on my tune with Donna Tella, Stuck On You.
Its a fun one as it covers a lot of ground in the melodic bass sense, from guitar processing, layering leads/synths/guitars in the drop, and vocal goodness.
Hope this helps ya!
Much love, JP
2023-03-14 22:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!!
Just completed recording the next vid which will be a super in depth walkthrough of my song with Alexis Donn, Stuck On You!
It look a looong time to get through it and it ended up being just under an hour and a half long... so my question is: would you like me to upload it as one big vid or separate it into two and i can upload the second half in a week or so?

Hey everyone!
You may have seen this book ruminating around our space recently. It's a book by the legendary Rick Rubin, who is somewhat of a musical guru in a sense. He is a producer and has worked with artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Travis Scott, Linkin Park, Metallica, Justin Timberlake, and the Beastie Boys. His list is seriously insane. Hes renowned for his ability to be able to extract the best from any artist. And his approach blends artistry with spirituality, in a since...
