Great, thats very helpful 🙂
Well deserved tribute to the master. Thanx.
He's said he flips the phase on the distorted kick - which causes some cancellation with the main kick, yielding a peculiar, somewhat hollow sound.
he plays with phase and says he considers it part of the eq process.
Love these videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 keep up the great work 👍🏼
Thank you! I will 😃
Really awesome video, Tchad is a fearless audio engineer
Sure is!
the Devil Loc is one of my favourite plugins!
It’s fantastic! I’ve been using the locness plug-in recently as well, really liking it!
I need to give that Decapitator a try. And maybe try cutting back on verb!
The Decapitator is great, not much else plug in wise that can do what is does.
Great series dude 👍
Thank you!
