​

There are some very simple tricks that all pros use

before every single drop or chorus for extra impact.

​

They wind down the energy and cut out certain elements

from the mix in the moments leading up to the drop.

This creates tension and a period of 'calm before' the drop. 

 

Why do this? When everything comes back in at the drop,

it will sound louder, wider, and way more impactful.​

​

What are these tricks?

​

1. Cut some low end out

2. Cut some high end out

3. Reduce the volume

4. Narrow the stereo image

5. Add some washout

​

The Calm Before plugin automates all of these parameters (and more)

so you can quickly create the perfect moment of Calm Before. 

​

Once you master the Calm Before even the most minimal

drop or chorus will sound absolutely massive!
