Have you ever played with Synth Pads created from reverse samples? Kind of a strange concept if you've never tried it.
Today I show you an example of using a pad created from reverse samples, through a VI called Output Rev that I recommend.
Creating pads this way gives your production a really cool interest. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

We are now entering the “hurry up and finish a holiday song” season.
And you know what that means... time to dust off the sleigh bells.
Today I want to show you my go-to plug-in for injecting those sleigh bells into your song.
Let me know what you use, I’d be curious!

Outside of audio, it often refers to people who may be shifty, untrustworthy, criminally minded, smelly, jobless, homeless, on the run. This has nothing to do with what we are discussing today.
It's a simple acoustic concept, but most beginning producers don't come across this for quite some time. So let me help save you some time.
Wikipedia defines it like this: "A transient is a short-duration signal that represents a nonharmonic attack phase of a sound source." But for layman's terms, just think of transients as the identifying markers of the sound's timing. This is typically at the beginning. Transients are often used to line up a groove to a beat, or quantize audio.
In today's video I show you how to control the transients in a guitar and tambourine audio file, using a transient shaper.
Go make some great music, and I'll see you next week!

Ok, so here's the deal. BeatsX headphones are way overpriced. This is my very non-technical, non-scientific review of the Beats earbuds compared to my cheap $19 buds I bought on Amazon.
I "A-B" tested the two pairs of headphones listed below and concluded that I liked the sound and total balance of my music better through my Amazon cheap headphones. Go figure.
The $19 Amazon earbuds are these. (they might be discontinued, but these seem to be the same thing)
Here's the $190 Beats X earbuds I am returning.
Here are the songs I compared:
It Ain't Me, by Kygo
Three More Days, by Ray LaMontagne
Feels Good, by Fan Fiqtion
I should mention that the Beats probably will last longer, because of the better build quality. And since they're now owned by Apple, they work great for quickly connecting to your other Apple devices.
But I'm just talking about the sound quality in this video.
Yes, I Zion, loved the cheap ones better. They just sounded better to me. And I can't justify the price of the BeatsX, and so shouldn't you.

Most beginning producers don't realize that the kick drum is made up of more than just low frequencies. The character of the kick comes alot from how the click (or snap) of the sound is made, which in some ways mimics the beater on the head of the drum.
Some producers craft their kick drums using the low freqs of one kick, combined with the high freqs of another kick. Basically layering them together to get the desired sound.
Todays quick tip is just an introduction to these concepts, as well as showing you the kick instrument I use to achieve the sound I want.
Enjoy!
