Starting With Drums: The door's closed and the canvas is blank. Fab opens the session the way the mood takes him today, with drums. Working in XO, which he treats like an MPC living inside Ableton, he builds an Afrobeat-leaning pocket, sets the tempo to 100 (120 with the swagger turned down), and shapes the kick, snare, and hats. He routes the drums to their own buses, drops a low-latency TDR limiter on the master as a reality check rather than a mixing move, and hunts for a bass that makes him feel differently about the groove. A lesson in momentum: how to start, why naming your tracks matters, and how to keep the limiter honest while you chase a feel.
