Inside the Masterclass

🎛️

Chapter 1 — Kick Sourcing

How to choose between samples, VSTs, and synthesis. What to listen for. How to avoid weak starting points before you even touch processing.

🔥

Chapter 2 — Single Kick Processing

How to push one kick on a single channel using EQ, saturation, shaping, harmonics, and tone control — without killing punch or clarity.

🧱

Chapter 3 — Kick Layering

My layering philosophy, phase awareness, group routing, and how to build size and aggression without mud or low-end collapse.

🎚️
