Step inside Shawn Everett's personal studio and watch his creativity run wild! In this novel series, the highly innovative producer takes you on a journey of bold experimentation with audio. He captures some basic sounds, then employs analog and digital signal processing to the extreme. Using tools for shifting pitch, altering speed, adding harmonics, and more, Everett creates an extraordinary melodic soundscape that is a far cry from the source material. He layers numerous tracks, applies effects, shows unconventional ways to use Melodyne, and blends the material with a record by The War On Drugs. Using the Pro Tools multi-track session, Shawn demonstrates how he can "accumulate vibe” and use it to enhance an instrumental arrangement. Ingenuity has no limits!
