The first ever MWTM series with producer Sonny Digital has landed! Hosted at Hollywood's iconic EastWest studios, these videos explore Sonny's beat-making and broader music production workflow. He takes you through a number of FL Studio sessions, focussing mainly on that of the 2020 hit 'After Party' by Don Toliver. You'll gain insight into how he selects his samples and alters them to create unique sounds using techniques for cutting, reversing, time-scale modification, and more. Witness how he arranges melodic hooks with drum and bass patterns while leaving space for a vocalist to add their parts. Aside from composition, Sonny also reveals how he combines a variety of tools including MPC hardware, FL Studio, and Pro Tools. Furthermore, he elaborates on his collaboration with other renowned talents Mike Dean and Travis Scott!

Step inside the private studio of elite mastering engineer John Greenham! In his debut MWTM series, Greenham takes you through the process of how he mastered Grammy award-winning records for Billie Eilish and songs by the artists K.Flay and Donna Missal. With the sessions open in Sequoia, John demonstrates his approach on four different tracks. You will learn how he set up the elements of his entire analog and digital signal chains to bring the expertly-mixed material to a new level. Greenham shows the impact of his work by referencing the received mixes and bypassing inserts throughout the process.
