Ep 86: Kaelin Ellis is guided by video games
Shownotes
Multi‑platinum producer, multi-instrumentalist, and sample pack maker Kaelin Ellis (Vince Staples, Kaytranada, TOKiMONSTA, and more) takes on the My Forever Studio challenge. This time, hear how NBA Street helped lead him to jazz and producer credits, how he develops “pocket”in his drumming, and how an upright piano he found backstage at a show made for one of his most vibey sample packs.
As always, expect in-depth gear chat, and difficult decisions, studio stories and at least one obnoxious airhorn.
Season 8 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the impressive new Horizon range of audio interfaces.
