Maceo Plex drum processing?

I know most of us don’t consider Maceo as Techno, but I figured this would be the most appropriate community to post this.

I’ve been obsessed with his drum sound for years. I’ve never really been able to replicate it. What I’m most intrigued about is the processing (effect chain) he might use, as well as the arrangement and/or sample selection to get those punchy snappy kicks.

In an interview he mentioned he “delay the kick a bit off from being perfectly on time with the rest of the track—maybe a millisecond or two off” to create an airy and groovy effect with the hat. I’ve tried this but I always get more of a chunky sound in the transient rather than a warm tight sound like his. Anyone has any comments on this?

If anyone could share concepts, actual videos, reads or anything that’ll help me get that tight, powerful and professional drum sound it’d be much appreciated. Anyway, I’d love to discuss Maceo Plex production style with anyone interested.

How is this style of editing achieved?

Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Aud-K9ecv8

Is it more editing or is it more After Effects? I'm currently using DaVinci, absolute noob but this is the approach I'm looking to achieve.

How are the screen recordings (the scenes of the Mac screen) achieved? The grain? The text behind the subject? The dynamic image grid/collage?

I want to know what tutorials to look for to approach this as fast as possible.

How does a social media content strategist/creator week look like?

Ive been thinking about posting content. I do marketing, specifically paid ads for an agency. I’m starting my own agency, and I’ve been thinking about posting content to ‘share my journey’ (honestly that sounds like shit but I just want to post stuff tbh, someone will find it helpful hopefully). I’ve learnt a lot of stuff over the past years and at this point I just want to share my thoughts, ideas, lessons, etc. I don’t want to approach content as an organic sales funnel yet, but just lay it out there, eventually it can become helpful I guess.

Today I worked on my internal platform and workflows, and I’m intrigued by how people who do this as a profession work. Like, what’s the supply chain of a content creator look like? Do you write down your ideas (I use Notion and I do)? How long does it take you to record yourself? How many days a week do you do it? Do you edit your own videos? How do you decide what to post each day (I know about the content pillars and topics, that’s what I’m working on, but still)?

Basically, my question is: How does someone who’s a professional content creator and/or strategist organize and operate his/her days?

I feel it can become a super demanding job, requiring you to write tons of scripts, concepts, organize, etc. But hence my question, maybe I’m approaching it wrong?
