Drums Lofier
Back again with another Ableton Rack.
Today is a cool one, recently I did a workshop for Beat Lab about Lofi Hip Hop. I’ve made an Ableton template project and a few racks. Figured I’ll share the coolest one here.
It’s a collection of a bunch of effects aimed at deteriorating the sound of drums to a point where it sounds directly out of the latest Lofi Hip Hop tune. The main approach was filtering, EQing, Distorting, and Compressing.
MACROS
Diffuse and smear the sound. Put it in a tiny space.
Amount of Low-Frequency Damping
Dedicated Frequency Shifter
Removing Sustain from the sound
Amount of EQ reduction to Remove cluttering frequencies
Post Exciter
Experimental but will make it super wide
Extra nastiness
