I am a beginner and currently just playing around with an Ableton trial, struggling to learn how to create more energy with drums on the drop. Anybody got any tips for me I'd love to know the secret!
Thanks mate I appreciate any little tips! I suppose a lot of energy doesn't just come from drums in some casesI'm no pro but here's a few things I learnt which really helped.
Use compression where needed
use parallel compression (glue compressor)
side chaining can be good to create more movement and dynamics
Layer up different loops like hi hats, percussion and shakers.
and make sure to utilize stereo sound.
