Thomas Schumacher & Victor Ruiz 'Apollo' - How to make with DRC
Published on
When Lucas takes on a classic or iconic track to analyse and reproduce the same kind of sounds using DRC, there are a few signs and hints when he has done a particularly good job. The first and most obvious indicator is YouTubeās robot copyright police, AKA āContent IDā flagging up the video with a copyright claim. Luckily, so far this has only resulted in one video being blocked, with most copyright holders happy to simply let the video stay up and take the lionās share of the monetization!
Of course Content ID thinking that Lucasā recreation is actually the original track is itself a compliment, but this week Lucas managed to earn the ultimate accolade of the appreciation and approval of the original artist! (Well in this case, one half of the original artists)
The track in question is āApolloā by Thomas Schumacher and Victor Ruiz, and after seeing our DRC Sound Design Tutorial, Thomas Tweeted āBEST deconstruction of any of my tracks I have seen so far. Hats off to @imaginando_pt for pulling this one off. Amazing.ā
Check out the video for yourself as Lucas takes you through two basses, a pad and a lead, with fantastic results!
