Is your snare tone off? Too much hi-hat bleed? Not enough top end? Or maybe your kick drum lacks the attack you need? Try layering in samples to get the sound you want. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Is your snare constantly going out of tune during a track? It happens! Waves Torque plugin can adjust the resonance. Or, if it's really bad, sample the tuned snare and replace the original hits, keeping the bleed. Problem solved! www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Doubling guitars can add size, but quadrupling? Make sure each guitar has a purpose. Are you filling sonic space, adding articulation, or creating chaos? Let that guide your choices. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Mixing in the box hinges on layers of processing, not just plugin chains. One of the secrets? Subtle recording tweaks and baking effects in early. This approach was crucial when many still doubted in-the-box mixing. It's how to sweeten and 'analog-ize' your sound. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

You don't need a top-of-the-line vocal mic to get great sound. The SM7 is a great choice because it's forgiving, doesn't distort easily, and you can EQ it a lot. If you want a vocal mic without spending a ton, get the SM7. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Referencing mixes helps you find boundaries. How much bottom end is too much? What's the limit for top end or sibilance? Use reference tracks to discover your mixing limits and avoid overdoing it. A must for any audio engineer. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

These four units are hooked up using hardware inserts. The signal chain goes from the BAX EQ, to the SPL Vitalizer, to the Dramastic Audio Obsidian compressor, and then to the Overstayer M-A-S. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Ever tackled a project way outside your comfort zone? It can be terrifying! But pushing those boundaries leads to major growth, even if you mess up along the way. That moment of discovery? Priceless. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Tracking vocals? Don't sweat the pitch or timing. Those are fixable. The real magic lies in raw emotion and character. Bring the feeling, and the rest falls into place. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

AI isn't just changing music; it's reshaping society. Unlike the Napster era, which had a limited impact, AI's pervasive reach affects us all. The sooner we adopt it, the faster we can address its implications as a society. www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford

Want huge drums that don't muddy your mix? Split your audio into two bands with Drumforge Arcus and independently control the envelope. Fine-tune those pockets for that perfect sound. Check out www.youtube.com/chrisbaseford
