This week I wanted to highlight some of the things I learned from watching EPROM's "Making a Beat Live" stream he did (and that is now on YouTube). It sounds like he's going to do more so make sure you go subscribe to his EPROM's YouTube Channel, his streams will all be full of gems.

This week, I sat down with Deathroez, a very talented producer hailing from North Carolina. His unique sound combines elements from heavy electronic music, film scoring, and other eclectic sounds / textures. In the episode, we talk about the importance of getting out of your bedroom studio and meeting other producers, avoiding production burnout, and Deathroez drops maaaad technical knowledge and shouts out a ton of plug-ins you have to check out.

This week, I wanted to highlight the importance of looking at yourself as an asset you need to invest in to reach your dreams. You can invest in Stocks, 401K's, Real Estate, etc....but none of those investments you can directly control the outcome of. Investing in yourself and your growth is entirely within your control.

This week on Bass Camp, I sit down with desamor. He's been supported by the likes of Henry Fong, Dilion Francis, and even has a track with DJ Paul of Three Six Mafia.

In the episode, we talk about using rejection as fuel to push on further, his production process, favorite plugins, and much more. This guy is a beast of a producer and a personal mentor of mine…he has so much knowledge to share and the speed at which he is able to pump out quality tracks is incredible. Producers at any level can get something out of our convo (the technical portion starts around 39 mins).

Some of you requested an episode dedicated to improving your drops, so here's my first swing at it. Making dank drops takes time to learn and experiment, but I hope that some of the information I saw in this weeks episode gives you some new ideas or starting points to continue along your journey.

Hope you enjoy this weeks episode! Please reach out if you have any feedback or requests for future episodes. I made this podcast for you guys so please help me help you!

This week I sat down with BOSTN, an up and coming bass producer from LA. Make sure to support the man by throwing him a follow @bostn64 on IG and Soundcloud and @bostn on Spotify. 

In this episode, I walked through how I created what I dub the "Satty Phat Rack". This is a super basic Ableton Rack I built to highlight the "Soft Clip" feature on both the Saturator and Glue Compressor within Ableton. Play around with it and tweak it, get crazy yo.

To download the rack, go to DRKSTDWN.com -> Bass Camp Podcast -> Show Notes, and then click on the article for this episode (002). The download link will be in the description. If you have trouble downloading, reach out to me via DM on FB, IG, or Twitter (@drkstdwn) and I'd be happy to assist. Enjoy!

A short welcome message for all my new Bass Campers...
