Hey, thanks for taking the time to do this.

I haven’t finished the full tutorial yet but I already noticed the difference of sounds you start with. When I listen to your released tracks there are usually these deep heavy hitting drums together with basses. When I finished watching the first part the drums were nowhere near to the sound I expected. They are quite weak, to be honest (absolutely no offense intended here, I am just curious).

Now, I understand that you make it more powerful later on during mixdown (as in the last video) and maybe even mastering but if that is the case… how do you know how are drums going to sound later (sometimes even weeks later)? I got used to “mixdown on the go” style, where I am trying to achieve the “sound” from the very beginning so it’s hard to imagine I would spend weeks listening to weak drums and then just make them awesome 🙂

I am curious about this because I often get stuck on mixdown while I am working on an arrangement. This idea of just placing some (almost) temporary drum sounds to start with and fix them at the end has a certain appeal.

Thank you for the videos as well and keep up the great work!
