Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: I just gave this tip to a colleague of mine. When I receive drum tracks and the toms are dry and without resonance, what I do is: 1. With a semi-parametric equalizer like the fabfilter 3 or a spectrum analyzer, find the main frequency of the tom 2. Make a send (pre-fader) to a mono auxiliary bus, in that mono bus insert a test oscillator and set the frequency at which the original tom resonates 3. On that same bus apply a noise gate and link its input to the tom, this way the gate will respond every time the tom hits 4. Set the gate with a slow release and a medium attack, be careful with the hold, I suggest setting it to taste 5. This way you have your tom track and an auxiliary that adds resonance, calibrates volumes and is ready to MIX

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: It depends on the music genre how I start a mix. But I always check track by track how is the quality. If there is an audio which has a "recording mistake", I fixed it by processing with different audio techniques. I don't start the mix until I get sure all the tracks sounds good without a plugin, that's the secret of mixing.
