Great video; I'd like to add for a bit more detail on the 4-band explanation for anyone reading comments; As you go up in frequency bandwidths; octave ranges follow an exponential pattern; where-by each octave is a double in frequency providing wider bandwidths as you go up the frequency spectrum; 55-110 hz - A-A Octave (55hz of bandwidth); 880-1760 - A-A Octave (880hz of bandwidth); 3520-7040 - A-A Octave (3520hz of bandwidth) In the high-mid example there are a lot more elements; but also; those higher frequency bands have more bandwidth/room available for you to place those sounds; In the low end; it's much more difficult because there's less bandwidth leading to more frequency masking; I hope this helps contribute to the value people get from this video!
Really well done. The space segment is so important with heavy drum music like dnb or halftime. In order for you to have that off time sense of groove you really have to have spaces between hits. The silence is key.
Great video. Thank you. Some really outstanding ideas here. Designing percussion sequences in a given band in terms of the 'call and response' model is just lovely and at the same time the tutorial also covers stereo width and mixing principles and...well there is so much there it's just wonderful. I will have to watch it again. This is precisely the attention to detail and clarity of artistic vision that is missing in so many RUclips tutorials. Next month I think I might take one of your courses. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us!
That concept of "the higher the frequency of the sound, the ofter you can play it" makes actually much sense. I didn't think about that one, really smart of you.
You can spend a lifetime experimenting and discovering these amazing techniques on your own, or you can tune into Alice and up your music production game in just minutes per day. Nicely done, Alice. Thank you!
I'm a psytrance producer, but if I watch your videos, i get more ideas and I also start to think about making also other stiles :) You are a great inspiration :)
Really nice. I especially liked the variation I heard in your high frequency bands: the tone and pitch of the hats, for example, changed in very pleasing ways. I know you've made videos about this, but I thought it came through here even without being mentioned. Thanks.
Wow you just blew my mind. I got into production just a month ago , came across your video and i thought let me just fill my grid (by hand , normaly use mpk3) like you did at 1.24 mark. And when i pressed play for the first time i expected a mess , but its the best beat i made since i started , lol. Always wanted to know how these types of beats were made. The latter part of ur video is to complicated for me now, but i learned something value to me at the first 2 min of ur video. I subbed directly and gonna check all ur stuff. Many thanks from the netherlands 🙏
Amazing. This is the second of your videos I have watched, and I think I'm already hooked. Your presentations are full of nuggets. I'll be back for more tomorrow. God natt!
I was thinking how using stereo on just few hits make stereo way more noticeable than using it constantly. Also the sound could be just one hit doubled with slight delay on one side. I like the idea of contrast. Also I noticed certain effects I use make the sound stereo.
The drums at 7.00 sounds just like Artbat Return to Oz. Which is one of my all time favourite tracks from last year. The drums are so simple, butbthey groove so well that you listen to 4 minutes of it befote the song even begind to drop.
@@TheTranspoter3 I use Cubase. It's unlikely we will get the actual project file, but could get replicate the settings of the insert chain and instruments.
What if the tone of the snare is covered by 8-9 synths (both pads and lead), how would you preserve that? Cutting frequencies on so many synths or sidechaining all the synths to the snare did not seem to work well. Personally, I decided to sacrifice the snare and let it be covered by the synth frequencies, but if there were an effective solution, I would be very happy to adopt it.
have you tried a frequency-specific sidechaining solution like soothe or trackspacer? (could also do a simpler variant of this with a multiband EQ sidechained to the snare)
Which hits harder - more dynamic or more loud? More dynamics should punch harder but without enough volume dynamics aren’t going to help. Do you want to find a balance between preserving dynamics and volume?
Alice i really appriciate your videos! Thank you very much! Can you make a video about the psychological part of music production and creativity overall? I love music and idea of creating it. But I find my self getting wayyy to anxious and stressed to sit down and produce. I want to fall in love with the process and not be scared of it…
4:41 so when my ride is near 0 but my whole mix is near 1 its ok? or do i lose my ride in a club when the rest isnt playing and where the soundsystem is complete mono?
This is the video I was talking about at the end of the video; how bass sounds actually hack your brain? 🤔

Great video; I'd like to add for a bit more detail on the 4-band explanation for anyone reading comments;
As you go up in frequency bandwidths; octave ranges follow an exponential pattern; where-by each octave is a double in frequency providing wider bandwidths as you go up the frequency spectrum;
55-110 hz - A-A Octave (55hz of bandwidth);
880-1760 - A-A Octave (880hz of bandwidth);
3520-7040 - A-A Octave (3520hz of bandwidth)
In the high-mid example there are a lot more elements; but also; those higher frequency bands have more bandwidth/room available for you to place those sounds;
In the low end; it's much more difficult because there's less bandwidth leading to more frequency masking;
I hope this helps contribute to the value people get from this video!
Youre the best Alice. Quality always, easy tips, graceful presentation and explanation. love x

Danke!
Thank you for the tip!✌️😊
This is the greatest method I've ever seen ❤ Thank you so very much 🙌
Brilliant video!! So many good nuggets here to apply on drums! Thank You Alice!!

Hey Alice, Forme the question is going up, and the answer when you go down in tone! i guest can be subjective. thanks for all the content, love it!

Love it when you pull up a whiteboard lol great vid

The HF click on the Kick drum at 2:30 sounds harsh
Only love ♥ your videos are so well planed out !
Making them consumes a lot of time, but I am enjoying the process. Glad to hear that you alike them as well 😊
does the Compresseur + Disto equal a distressor process ? sound similar.. thanks for your content always so helpful
thank z 4 helping out
beautiful you and your videos
Thank you!
First time someone tell the truth! Thank you💯

Nice! I'm sidechaining my big snare.
well done
well done!
Very Nice!

Newb question inbound! Why is the kick and the sub seperated? What do you put on Sub? Thank you!| :D
4:41 so when my ride is near 0 but my whole mix is near 1 its ok? or do i lose my ride in a club when the rest isnt playing and where the soundsystem is complete mono?
It really depends, just do a quick mono test and decide that way.
Great explanation, thanks, ;)
Please tell me that the beat in the example for balancing the bands was inspired by Customer is King =D Thank you for the amazing tips!
It is!😊
Thanks!
So much useful detail in one video! Thank you so much Alice. By the way, I think I have the same studio chair as you :D
Alice do a scholarship I am in so bad. Watching You since I remember. Love Your videos
I love it

Busyness and call/response seem like genre specific choices.
