Basse, espace et touches finales

Fab pins the bass with a 160 compressor and rebalances the two bass layers with a tilt EQ. He uses Process.Audio Ripple as a Haas-style widener with a touch of tape color. To make the electronic track feel less electronic, he sends the drums to UADx Ocean Way Studios (Studio A, Remix mode). The Afro loop gets space while the snare stays bone dry, and he nudges a lazy part back into the pocket.

He adds the EMT 140 plate to the Trident synths and reorganizes the session in order of appearance. The arpeggio gets Sugar and a delay with a slow flanger, and he automates the sends. On the mix bus he adjusts the compressor attack, adds a clipper before the limiter and compares the Cream 3 preamp and EQ modes by ear. He delivers at -11 LUFS. The session is available so you can see exactly what he did.
