MIXING HIP HOP DRUMS PT.1
In Part 1, Koen is introducing his Drums mixing workflow and go in depth with the eq-ing process.
You'll learn how to find the proper frequency space for each drums element (Bass Drums, Claps, Snaps, Snare, Hats) and how to enhance it through the EQ84 British plug-in.
MIXING DRUMS WITH PARALLEL PROCESSING PT.2
In Part 2, Koen is introducing his parallel processing workflow.
Parallel processing allows to enhance the tone drastically without loosing much of the original sound, following the philosophy of "less is more". In this part of the masterclass you'll see a full example of that concept.
