3 Drum Processing Techniques EVERY Producer Needs to Try! (Louder/Punchier Drums!)

[@ALifeTheKidd]

Can You explain a little more on what you stated on @10:54 about loudness ! THANKS

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

LUFS are 'loudness units full scale' and they are measuring how loud the track 'is'. How loud it's perceived as humans. So an increase in LUFS is usually a sign that your track feels and sounds louder. But too high and it is likely not very dynamic. :)

Great stuff as always

All my hi-hats thank you profusely on this trick.

When you add the vocoder i got amazed.

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Glad to hear :D

Could you also show how these parallell effects affect your Master level volume? Especially compression. The reason I ask cause when I apply parallell compression to my kicks, it hugely amplifies my overal master volume, which is a pain when I want to make my mixes pre-mastser ready at -6db. Then I have to really lower down the volume of the parallel compressed kicks and then the effect kinda goes away. How do you deal with that?

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Well usually parallel compression is only going to be adding a tiny bit of volume, and when it's REALLY compressed it shouldn't really have any peaks to throw your meters off. Go check your attack and release settings - is your attack set to 0? you may be getting random peaks going through. I'd suggest adding a limiter right after your parallel compressed signal and cutting off any peaks with a limiter to make sure you're not just getting random spikes. If it's till too much then you may just have to appropriately mix around that. I can't imagine adding too much volume, though. Parallel compression is usually somewhat subtle

@@DowdenProductionAcademy Thanks so much for your elaborate answer! Very helpful and gonna play around

[@wimvandenborre706]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge! small suggestion: Your voice is too loud compared to the audio clips

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

You are welcome and thanks! I'll keep that in mind :)
