-
Recreating the Drum Patterns: We’ll start by replicating the drums in Billie Eilish’s "Birds of a Feather." The pattern itself is simple, but it’s the sound layering and subtle tweaks that really make it stand out.
-
Crafting the Snare Sound: The snare is one of the coolest parts—heavily tuned to get that big, yet non-aggressive sound. I’ll show you how to achieve that perfect punch without overpowering the track.
-
Layering Instruments for Depth: Finneas layered multiple sounds—like the iconic bell arpeggiator and bass—to create that rich, atmospheric vibe. We’ll go over how to recreate that using both VSTs and real instruments.
-
Guitars: Real and VST: No guitar? No problem. I’ll show you how to get a similar effect with a VST, but we’ll also cover the magic of recording real instruments to capture that authentic feel.
-
The Power of Plugins: Throughout the process, I’m using some insane plugins that transform each sound. Plus, you can win all these plugins—over $1,500 worth—for free!
