!!!EDM PRODUCTION TIP!!!

Punch is important in electronic dance music tracks. Please consider your transients (I am lookin' at you, DRUMS)!

Too little - it sounds weak and brittle. Lost in the sauce.
Too much - it sounds too clicky and over-the-top. Messes with the other mix elements.

To add a nice transient to drum sounds, use a compressor with your desired ratio (I prefer to use a 10:1 for EDM): med/long attack (~10-30ms) and a short release (less than 10ms)!

Take your time when you play with the threshold, and adjust to taste. Remember to mix in mono, AND with the rest of the track.

Anyways, here's me with my friend's puppy 🥳

Much love,
Matt.
