Making The Remix: Slippery friction (Tryin' Mix) with Toucon

In this episode, we delve into the process behind a collaboration for Lorenzo's Remixes Volume 1. Toucon aka Connor Lipke, provided a beat that became the foundation for a remix of the song "Slippery friction". The discussion covers the nuances of beat creation, starting with the basics of a drum loop and building upon it with synth layers using the VST, Serum. We look at the original FL Studio session for the beat Toucon made using a Novation Launchkey MIDI keyboard. We talk about the use of one-shot drum samples and drum packs from various producers for the beat-making process. Toucon also discusses the challenges and strategies of selling beats online, including the use of platforms like BeatStars and maintaining relationships with artists for the beats he creates. This interview was recorded during an Instagram live session.
