In addition, they drop some hot tips on how it’s often useful to keep your go-to sounds consistent within your music to help cement your musical identity, as well as the importance of making your track more mono in the buildups so you can widen things out at the drop, providing a grander feel. They move onto the mixing process, detailing the importance of getting your drums sounding tight, first and foremost, so you’re aware of how the other elements should fall into place and can remove the frequencies you don’t need from your mix.
