Steve Levine

FXpansion hooked up with Steve Levine in his Liverpool studio to chat about his recording and production techniques. In this video we look at the process of drum replacement with Logic and BFD3: extracting information from recorded drum tracks to trigger BFD3's samples which are then mixed with the original audio. BFD3's stunning kits and ambience make it easy to create a polished, high-end drum sound. Even though Logic is used in this example, similar techniques can be found in other DAWs like Pro Tools, Cubase and Reaper.

Download the BFD3 session zip file here and experiment with the project yourself (You will need Logic Pro 9 or X, and BFD3 to access the project files) The audio recording stems are also available for you to play with in other DAWS if you don't own Logic and BFD3. The session was recorded at 90 BPM.

Culture Club, Honeyz, America, Beach Boys, Deniece Williams and Gary Moore are just a few of the artists this Grammy and Brit award-winning record producer has worked with. A pioneer of digital recording techniques, Steve works closely with new talent and possesses 2 of the best ears in the business, both of them highly valued by Yamaha, Korg and Apple.

Steve has won a number of prestigious awards including BPI Producer of the Year, Musicweek Top Singles Producer and a Grammy for his work with Deniece Williams.

Along with his radio and TV work Steve is also busy producing exciting new bands for his label Hubris Records, first release 6 Day Riot. Currently in the studio with new signings is Daytona Lights, Natalie McCool (a previous MIBI finalist), The Glitches & Patch William.
