In this video, I break down how to get your drums to sound fat by lowering your CREST Factor down. We do this by SATURATING Like Noobs but that's the beauty of it. It's such a simple thing to do in theory especially when using good sounding samples from your favorite sound design companies. Pick a good drum sample and sature.... Lower the Crest Factor DOWN AND LET'S PARTYYYYYYYYYYY

4:36 I was getting hyped to hear how transient shapers work 🤣

Thank you for re-uploading this dope tutorial, Zen World. This is one of the most needed drums tutorials ever. I really appreciate this and need to apply immediately.

[@danielefoggiato9753]

totally on spot..loved the both the saturation and the leveling bit in span!and obviously funny as always, thank you gandalf

[@richardwilliams4669]

This one was much needed. Thank you. This was my biggest problem and it was so obvious.

[@odin_music]

Lighting is literally LIT 🔥 Another awesome tutorial 🙌

[@musicbyarron]

Sometimes its good to have some reminders of the basics, even as someone this still helped a lot. Nice that you took a different approach as well. Cheers x

Yo Zen, I'd like a take on how you use the Imager (I use a old Ozone9 ) on a drum group chain. Meaning I often like to put the Imager at the end of the drum chain(very last plugin before Utility) to add a little width.
VS
Would you put the Imager up front (left side of the chain) before all the EQs and Compression? "I use mY eArS "too but I often feel the Imager at the end sound the best. I happen to use the Return track for my parallel comp for the dry signal. Your always on it dude, good stuff.

[@ZenWorld]

I’ll be honest not sure. Had a mentor who had me do it first in the chain but I see people using at the end. For mastering I always use it first. Hopefully others chime in here. I say if it sounds good it’s fine.

[@Peampiin]

@@ZenWorld Good to know about it in Mastering. I appreciate it !

[@LukeIcardMusic]

Hey zen. Im trying a trial version of the standard ableton 11. Im having lots of crashes. Is the trial of ableton 11 limited in performance? I had to bounce everything down to audio

[@viktoronopko1853]

Just wondering if you use a transient shaper how fast does the one or other plugin react. These plugins do have some latency like every processing sound/volume shaping plugin. So knowing this, the question which should be asked is how accurate does a transient designer shape the peak in the beginning of the sound. Distortion plugins/exciter etc. do not really have any latency as I remember (correct me if I'm wrong).

[@ZenWorld]

You are good bro you are asking the wrong person on this one 🖐️ . I know high lookaheads would cause latency that’s about it. I’ve never looked through an oscilloscope how exact transient shapers are at shaping. I find the Kilohearts one is the most lethal of them all though.

[@atmodiver]

Transients at's all about articulation.Sorry for my bad eng)

[@psybientdub]

Thanks for this, I recently purchased Ableton, and have been deep diving into Saturation and Glue knowledge.
I use mostly Ableton stock plug-ins.. but I wont lie, I bought Friday deals lol...
1) Blackbox Saturator.
2) Kick2 drum synth.
3) Kickstart2 shaper.
and these ones for Free...
4) UAD LA-2A tube compressor.
5) Flash transient shaper.
6) Fuse Audio Labs VPRE-72 (low CPU saturator).
7) Softube saturation knob.
These are all I need, if I cant make great music with these, I should not be making music at all :-)

I feel like you made this video for me 🙃🙃🙃

[@kakapo_music]

Mate your a great teacher. Unblock that Gate brother... I have enjoyed the last two video's the most out of all I have seen so far

[@fndmntllysnd]

[@sillsation4986]

how to feel about grouping all the drums together except the kick and glue compressor and saturated

[@ZenWorld]

Do this all the time, especially in our world of Dance Music.

[@MOSMASTERING]

What's with the constant Pepsi references? Brough to you by Carls Jr.

[@DookyShoesMusic]

you know what they say about big crest factors

[@sheharyartahir4670]

Zen master need some help. I want to make videos of my session but when I run OBS my pc load on Ableton jumps. Any way I can improve this. I’m using i5 32 gb ram

[@ZenWorld]

I’m not sure get better CPU. Lower the bitrate quality of the recording. Other than that 😅 idk 🤷‍♂️. I remember we had a CPU Accelerator that caused issues when I had an I7 might be the same issues. That’s all I can think of fam

Can't you achieve the same by using the compressor?
