Cooper Anderson (Kanye West, Future, Rick Ross) demonstrates how he mixes live modern drums to sound like a breakbeat sampled from vintage Funk vinyl. He covers the processing and balancing of the individual drum and percussion tracks, as well as the full stereo bus, demonstrating the plugins and processes in a step-by-step approach.
These drums were recorded by Dylan Wissing in the same session as our "Funky Drummer" tutorial, and this course includes free unmixed drum tracks so you can practice mixing along with Cooper. Time to make today sound like 1969!
