How Pohadky is built — drum pattern, swing, and the sounds you need.
For Pohadky productions, prioritize clarity of the spoken word. Use a close-miked, warm vocal recording with minimal reverb. The music should be sparse, with simple chord progressions (e.g., I-IV-V) and a gentle, steady tempo around 86-109 BPM.
Typical samples include soft piano, acoustic guitar, or celesta. Avoid complex drum patterns; a simple brush snare or light percussion can add texture. The goal is to support the narrative, not distract. Use dynamics to match story emotions, but keep the overall mix soft and intimate.
