DAWless hip-hop mixing session - mpc + chandler tone control + tg12345 + little devil + minim pedal

[@Quimmoo]

Chandler EQs and Comps are amazing, but germanium ones are something completely out of this world. Germanium comp is the the best drum bus compressor I've ever used.

[@eddieleonard6925]

You're absolutely right. I discovered them through the softtube plug-in years ago. I can only imagine how good the hardware germanium comp sounds.

[@3nochendtimesmusic925]

Your own little Abbey Road studio, awesome gear bro and the beat is dope.

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks. Not quite Abbey Roads level, but I love the legacy they created. Definitely an inspo

[@lechesangre]

Brutal!! … and … ”mixing never really ends”😂

[@eddieleonard6925]

Facts.

[@lucasturney4269]

Didn't realize that you had a second album out on Bandcamp, "bye bye, daw" and grabbed it up the other day. Bummed I missed the cassette drop, but hyped on the album. 💯

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks for the support! Means a lot. I'm actually working on a 3rd project right now. Hoping to drop something by end of the year. Cheers

mmmhmmmmmmm lovely hardware

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks, it's piled up over the years.

[@djReason19]

I like the long play mix/studio tour. I'm digging the white knobs on your mixing board. They look like German fat caps for spray paint.

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks man. full analog aesthetic in effect. beat tape floating your way soon.

[@jeejeeBlaps]

sounds good, man! Loving all that texture

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks. Loving incorporating the pedals. I'm already plotting to get a few more for subtle touches and more ear candy.

[@Netm8kr]

Luv’n the vibes bruh. We definitely share a creative passion for experimental hip hop. I’m using your journey as fuel for inspiration, As I’m coming off a my own production hiatus. So many tools to sonically explore. Keep em coming. 👍🏾✌🏾✊🏾

[@eddieleonard6925]

Yoo that means a lot! Glad this inspired. We're in a renaissance in music production technology, so it's a prime to to expand peoples perceptions of what hip-hop and instrumental music could be. Keep searching! I'm trying to push these old machines past their limits. :)

[@traitortotheliving]

Dope set up Eddie sounds great 🔥

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks. Trying to keep evolving.

[@ShaqSoWavii]

This was ill 🔥🔥🔥 What albums/engineers inspire your approach to mixing?

[@eddieleonard6925]

Thanks for watching. Honestly, I'm self taught and can't name any specific influences with mixing. If anything, I'm influenced by music created in studios from '68 -'73 and independent hip-hop from the early '90s. Still looking for my own sound.

[@roave_music]

Nice work

[@eddieleonard6925]

Glad u dig the sounds.

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Awesome!! Smooth!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for listening, fam.

[@thorstenlieblang]

Very nice sound you got there, max I ask what medium you prefer to record to , since you are dawless.?

[@eddieleonard6925]

My final capture is onto a digital dsd recorder. They act as my convertors.

[@DJDigitalJosh]

Nice Eddie! Skillz!

Thanks for watching! Means a mil.

@@eddieleonard6925 I know the feeling. My channel seem to be getting less views with every post. 🙁 I love comments & views cause I'm sure not earning any money from it. 😔

Hi Leonard, can i ask why you choose Chandler ?

[@eddieleonard6925]

Chandler Limited makes amazing gear that's true to the type of sound I envision. Unfortunately, some of their pieces are too expensive for hobbyist...but even their plug-ins rock.

glad you dig. thanks.

[@tallmccartneymusic]

DBX119 gang! My unit was collecting dust for a long time but I finally got a 2ch pre to power my overheads and now it's on every drum recording. Gives my cymbals a smooth, inoffensive splash while adding air from the room for a little bit of vibe. People complain about it being noisy but with sufficient gain going in, I don't find that to be an issue. What about you? And what do you use yours for?

[@eddieleonard6925]

It's a powerful (and affordable) little box. Unfortunately, it's hard to get the rca cables on mine to latch properly, so i always have to fiddle with it to make sure it's connected...but when it works, it's a beast for what i use it for, which is parallel compression on my drums. Glad u got one, too.

[@tallmccartneymusic]

@@eddieleonard6925 I've had a hard time getting it to clock correctly for stuff in post--like a parallel drum bus comp--any tricks to sync it with the daw properly?

[@eddieleonard6925]

@@tallmccartneymusic i have no idea how to rig that up. if i think of anything, i'll drop a line.

You got some nice gear over there, sadly I won't be able to hear the nice fat analogue sound thru KZbins compression algorithm... Keep it up anyway, best MPC3000 channel.

[@eddieleonard6925]

I appreciate the support. Just trying to have fun in this little hidden corner of youtube.

Hello Eddie nice setup, I want a see a compressors ;))

[@eddieleonard6925]

haha...no doubt. next one.

[@mauricelebrun6299]

Don't you find difficult to arrange your tracks without a DAW ? Tbh I got on DAW only for this

[@eddieleonard6925]

Yes, I often miss using a daw. But I learned to arrange all in the mpc.

[@aldali724]

How much would you charge to mix a track lol

[@eddieleonard6925]

for a small monthly fee, i'll mix your track forever...:)

[@jamescassidy4045]

Hey brother! Just wondering if theres a place I could reach out to you privately. It's just about audio, but just think it might be better if we chat privately. Thanks man!

[@eddieleonard6925]
