Description
Join WondaGurl as she revisits the production of ‘DAMAGE’ from her debut solo album ‘METAL TAIL’. Explore her instinctive approach to arrangement, sound design, and mixing as she unpacks her evolution as a producer, beat maker, and artist.
The Canadian producer deconstructs the track section by section, revealing a dense arrangement built from layered drums, 808s, arpeggiated synths, and unexpected vocal textures. Learn how she shapes voice notes, field recordings and samples into musical elements, and how she uses Omnisphere, Serum, and her own homemade software to create dramatic transitions and switch-ups.
The series also offers a closer look at WondaGurl’s broader production and mixing philosophies. She breaks down the foundational elements of her sound, including her approach to sound selection, signal processing, and musical balance. She also reflects on how to be a better collaborator – an essential skill that enables her to work with chart-topping artists like Travis Scott, Rihanna, Usher, and more.
