Adding A Little More Punch To Your Cinematic Drums

Описание: A quick trick I use to add a little extra punch and impact to cinematic/epic percussion, or when I need a little more attack on each drum sample, without using compression, transient designers, or similar effects (they're all great options, this is just something else I like to do as well). I'm demonstrating this with Soundiron's excellent Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble, but the same principles can apply to most other percussion libraries.

3:25 How the technique begins to work
3:42 Dialling in the "short release" layer with the original percussion
4:28 Starting with the "short release" layer, then dialling the original percussion back in
5:35 In closing, there are more ways to skin this cat
5:48 Look, I just wanna catch up to other, better Youtubers
