Tempo Shaman has returned! It was a great time sitting back down with the Shaman this episode. The show goes deep pretty quick with topics on contrasting with velocity to help bring drums alive, contrasting through LCR and stereo width, and the boys trying to get Caleb to take his shirt off. The studio was having some technical issues regarding audio, so some fun was not had in the DAW, unfortunately. Never the less, another great nugget filled episode, thanks for listening!

The boys sit down with AT, a good friend here at the Always 400 Studio. What starts as a slapback delay discussion turns into a full blown parallel processing potluck. All the things you can do, and should do on your parallel chains is brought up (maybe). Later they dive into movement and why its so key in good productions.

 Its episode 20! The crew sits and discusses a topic that has been on their mind for a while: Rhythm Schemes, and how to utilize them in your productions. They also go back to the mudpie made in episode 19 and breakdown some techniques on how to use them. Or at least how we like to use them.

Vital vs Serum vs Phase Plant. Caleb expresses his disappointment with Vital in a demonstration of it "clicking" vs Serum in a similar patch. Dave shows his love of Phase Plant and how he employs its phase modulation and workflow. Further on in the episode we dive into Bitwig and its modulators to "Mudpie".  

A mudpie is simply a word used to describe audio ran through several effects to then be re-rendered (flattened for the Ableton users) and picked through for use in a track.

In this episode the 400 crew discuss drum processing with MiMi XX. It quickly snowballs into testing limiters and clipping in Ableton without blowing up the stream. Later on, we take a look at compressors and lookahead and when to use them both.

Voyager joins the show once again! After our mixer mishap was assessed and corrected (withholding some small distortion here and there) we asked Voyager to come back and hang out. We go deep into some more conceptual topics like how you learn and use sound design, using feedback to your advantage, and embracing the grind.
