I once had a recording interface malfunction during a drum recording session. It kept recording, but somehow added this crazy bitcrushing effect to all the channels. The wild part? It started right when the heavy chorus hit and ended up fitting the song perfectly, so I decided to keep it. Let's talk about your happy accidents in and around the studio!

Hi everyone! My name is Julian, and I'm a music producer based in Munich. I’ve been running my own studio for three years now, working with artists to bring their musical visions to life—technically, creatively, and most importantly, emotionally. I’m here less to debate the best plugin for a specific task and more to connect, explore creative approaches, and find ways to stay inspired. I’m passionate about the idea that a balanced, healthy life is key to thriving in the music industry—it’s the foundation for sustaining both creativity and passion over the long run. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing ideas, and connecting with like-minded creators. Excited to be here! Julian

Todays mix session, encourages the need to do recording and production to the "best as you can" format. Take the time to do the details! The song today is a true representation of well prepared tracks. The sessions were shorter and not bogged down in fixing issues that should have been done in the production stage. I was so engaged with the process of working with well prepared stems, before Jake and Caleb did their magic to make it sound so good! Even before they started their work, the song sounded great, just using volume and gain. One of the best Fix The Mix sessions yet. lots of nuggets to take in and looking forward to the vocals tomorrow. Cheers 😃

Is there anyone making their own drum samples? I am making my own by recording the sound of each drum, each cymbal, each rim shot, hi hats open, closed, each shaker (I have lots of them), each cowbell, rattler, soon to be also a Cabasa, and all the notes on the glockenspiel as well as the double-row chimes. Once done with recording, I'll go through and do all the editing and all that other fun stuff that the samples need. This is gonna be a fun project to do. It's an 8 piece set of DW Concept Maple with all new Evans heads along with a 9 piece set of Zildjian Avedis cymbals and other various percussion instruments. Any suggestions on how to make dis happen? Should I bake in the panning information for each track or should I leave them in mono? What would you do? I'd love to hear your opinion. 🤠
