MIXING SYNTH POP DRUMS

摘要

In Part One of this series about mixing synth pop, mixer/engineer Tristan Hoogland describes his process for mixing drums. Having started out working in the pop and rock genres with guitar bands such as Ball Park Music, Fountaineer and many others, my first foray into the synth pop and electronic music realm was anything but smooth. The usual tricks and techniques 1 used for pop and rock music no longer worked, and it took a while to appreciate that the sonic palette was completely different and to align my hearing accordingly. I hope this series provides some insights into the general philosophies and techniques that go into making this music pop!
