I used the Waves IR verb to get an impulse from which simulates a TC M5000 unit and I like that it sounds really natural to my ear. From there I want a telephone effect with some grit and distortion. I’m using the AIR Multi-delay for a single eigth note.Īfter that I want it to be wider and modulated so I decided to use the AIR Chorus plug-in.

*Click each image for full view of settings From there I went to a reveb unit so that it would push it into the back. I used a 1/6th and a 1/8th not delay sent to a distortion to focus it into the mid range and make it cut. So it’s pretty loud and adds almost another instrument to the track. This was on the snare in the verse and I actually wasn’t going for a ambient effect with this one but more of a rhythmic one. This is only being used on the verse snare, on the second half of the verse, and is meant to lengthen its tail as well as add some ambient texture to the back on the record. They are all routed through busses and are labelled as following If not you can always come back to this section to refresh your memory.įor the drums in the verse, there are 4 different effects I am adding at any given moment. I figured it would be most effective to go over the effects first, this way when I explain each track and I’m referencing an effect, you will already know what I am talking about.
If you can get your hands on a sample rate reducer plug-in and a distortion unit, you should see the same – if not similar – results that I did.

Seeing as the plug-in is only created for Pro Tools, it may be harder to achieve the exact same results that I did but it isn’t impossible. So how do we go from the raw version to the mixed version? Pro Tools Specific Plug-inĮven though you aren’t pigeon hold to only using Pro Tools for this technique, there is one plug-in that I used quite frequently in this record to help get that Low fidelity sound – Avid Lo-Fi. Lastly, without any vocals but all the plug-ins engaged: Now let’s hear it without any vocals and without any plug-ins (RAW): Let’s hear the record and listen to the drums I am referring to: In order to achieve the ambience in this record, I added various delays as well as reverb which seemed to fill up the space that I was looking for.įor this article I am going to be talking about the drums in the first verse. The record was very wide open with a lot of space in regards to time and I heard a lot of pockets that could be filled up with some ambiance. In order to do this I had to do a Hybrid of Layering in some samples, throughout different areas of the song, as well as alter the sound with plug-ins. What are Trying to Accomplish for the Overall Sound?įor this song in particular I needed to make the drum samples a bit heavy and Lo-Fi sounding. It is a Medley that my good friend am1r put together and I was grateful to be apart of it. In regards to the track I used for this article, you can listen to the fully mixed version here. Assuming you are looking for a lo-fi drum sound that is somewhat ambient. That said my goal for this post is to try and show how you can achieve a hybrid sound between artists like Drake and The Weeknd. I mean when you go from Marvin’s Room to Hold On, We’re Going Home, you can see how much different his records can sound.
Even though Drake seems to have a “signature sound” it’s actually not as consistant as you may think. It’s not really that easy to quantify, especially in one article. What really makes a Drake style drum sound?
