Mixing the Drum Daddy Producer Kit From Start to Finish
Get quick and easy, professional sounding drums using few plugins and only the tools and samples from the Drum Daddy Producer Kit.
I created a heavy rock instrumental sample so I want the drums to sound aggressive and in-your-face. I guarantee that you’ll be banging your head at the results!
In this video, I walk you through how I mix the Producer Kit with its built-in tools and presets, how I EQ each drum, the plug-ins I use, and so much more!
The software I used:
Slate Digital Fresh Air - https://slatedigital.com/fresh-air
Slate Digital Virtual Mix Rack - https://slatedigital.com/virtual-mix-...
Waves Audio Infected Mushroom Pusher - https://www.waves.com/plugins/infecte...

The Producer Kit is my own personal drum library made up of some of my favorite drum samples I’ve created over the years.
I’ve spent years using these samples, tweaking and mixing them to perfection so you don’t have too, and now they can be yours.
