Phildel on creating Glide Dog - The Track

Since releasing her first demos in the late-00s, composer, producer and songwriter Phildel has been catching ears with her unique fusion of neoclassical and alt pop sounds. We caught up with Phildel in her Brighton studio to find out how she conjured up the ethereal, sinister sound of new single Glide Dog.

very nice to see a woman producer for a change...and with talent ( a rare thing with both genders!)

[@hearmenow909]

Check Rachel K Collier(RKC).

[@psyzmech9044]

Refreshing simple approach to production without all the fancy plugins/chaining on every track. Less is more.

[@Pashsport]

Super dope!

[@peterbjargo3440]

Nice!!

[@pikzel]

I like it. Happy to see something other than mainstream stuff here. But how can she work with that big mirror in front? Looks so distracting 😅

[@sheacart]

It's probably for feng shui, if your desk is facing a wall then it's believed that your thoughts & ideas will hit a wall as well. Mirrors are said to help bounce that!

[@InOurNight]

I would love a chance at mixing that track. Whew

[@busywl69]

I dig your lack of 20 compressors and 40 sidechains on each instrument approach! nice!

[@synthetic144]

A mirror in the studio?

[@champaklalgada5110]

Whenever you get stressed, seeing yourself in a mirror helps you to control it since you can't see yourself making bad face gestures...

[@ccaffie1231]

for the aesthetic bro uwu

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

Similar set up as me. I found all the unnecessary equipment not needed and can do far more with less.. Great stuff Phildel :) x :)

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

@@MSman-ff8fx true. I've gotten so used to the track pad that i no longer use one though. sound card monitors midi controller is about it for me....

[@7uub1]

cool song, especially digging the vocal harmonies. gotta say that the speaker setup looks horrible though:D

[@Daveght]

Which genelec she is using ?

[@Le5sterleCheMiDevi]

They look like 8040B.

[@bchrni9072]

im using flstudio, i don't know logic pro x. is it better?

[@MrPorkker]

BCHRNI No

[@bchrni9072]

@@MrPorkker so whats better?

[@TheAccursedEntity]

@@bchrni9072 Youre already using one of the best DAWs available. Not to mention that your music can be good on any modern DAW. I use Live BTW, just keep using FL Studio, unless youre starting and wanna try something else, maybe try Live 10.1

[@kaafaa5944]

i think Fl is good but its push u more to make loop

[@kumudtsering]

I’m a Logic Pro X user and it certainly is a great daw but it is not better, nowadays all daws equal each other and if the FL works for you stick with it 😊🤘🏾

[@MrPorkker]

Sounds cheap as fuccs

[@Pashsport]

Where's ur track?

[@kaafaa5944]

its TripHop u need time for like it

[@MrPorkker]

kAa FAa I like trip hop But songs made out from plug ins sound cheap, no grain, no soul

[@genretypebeats4612]

@@MrPorkker That's a very limited view.... Do you really think everyone can afford the time or even the money to employ people to play everything for a tune..... that's why there are plugins .....SMFH

[@MrPorkker]

Genre Fluid Type beats Thats why producing isn’t easy. To make quality you need good gear.. and it takes a looot of time Once you have good monitoring speakers and understand that plugins got no soul, you never go back..
