Description
I am very happy to present you: the Mix-Ready Counterparts Songwriting Template!
Being a fan of Counterparts for years, I always wanted to have my productions sounding like their records. I tried different drum libraries, but never got close enough to be satisfied. When Kyle Brownlee (drummer of Counterparts) announced his very first drum library "Counterkit", I was excited like a little child right before christmas.
What can I say? This drum library absolutely slams. It makes good use of the built in Kontakt processing and with a little tweaking I got it to sound just like I always wanted. I reached out to @Zainmhz who is doing some great covers of Counterparts songs on his YouTube channel. He hooked me up with his DI tracks for the song "Unwavering Vow" and I put together this songwriting template that I am really proud of.
I wanted this template to be easily accessible - so you won't need any third party software (except the Counterkit drums). This Mix-Ready template is using stock and free plugins for mixing & mastering + the free amp sims by ML Sound Lab and STL Tones. Listen to the sound demo to hear the template in action!
Speed up your workflow with this Mix-Ready songwriting template!
