Recording Notes

• The drum sound in "Juicy" relies heavily on samples, particularly from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which provides the iconic bass drum sound.
• These samples were likely processed and sequenced using an Akai MPC60, a popular sampler and drum machine in hip-hop production during the 90s.
• The SSL console would have been used for mixing, EQ, and compression to enhance the punch and clarity of the drums.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean TR-808 sample.
• Use a sampler like Akai MPC60, or a software equivalent to sequence the drums.
• Apply EQ to boost the low frequencies and add punch.
• Use compression to glue the drum sounds together and increase their impact.
• Experiment with saturation or distortion to add a subtle gritty texture.
