Session 3 of the new YouTube Series with Francois PML called "Producer Notes". Episode 003 analyses and breaks down the style of Australian DJ/Producer known for Melbourne Bounce, Will Sparks. Specifically looking at the massive techno main stage festival sound.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- “Fake” rumble with reverb on the top kick
- Bass donks, quick shots and stabs to make it sound fun and interesting
- Industrial atmo to fill out the track and make it sound wide
- Percussive, noisy elements with good transients and reverb tales to support atmo
- "Whiplash” style drop with “Textbook” style Q+A melody patterns
- Unusual Arrangement idea: an on-grid drop varies with a triplet drop
