Production Sauce 🎵
Flow Prod uses Ableton Drum Synths to lay down a beat using the hidden gems, or gold dust, called DS drums, high hats, claps, kicks, snares, and more. All of these DS sounds can be tuned and tweaked to match the tone of your track, and because they are synths, they can be continuously modified with LFOs to add variation. Check out the video above!
