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.
Chapter 4 — Group Processing + Mixing
Bus treatment, glue, tone shaping, and mix decisions that help your kicks translate across club systems, headphones, and streaming platforms.
