Aim for a range between 110 and 125 BPM . While 125 BPM is standard for house, Drake's tracks often sit slightly slower to allow for his melodic delivery.

Use plugins or EQ to cut out harsh highs and very low sub frequencies (around 200Hz) for a smoother, "radio" sound. Effects like flangers or chorus can add a pulsing, moody feel to your pads.

Use high-quality reverb on synths and vocals to create the "atmospheric" Toronto/OVO signature sound. 4. Arrangement Strategy

Create a bouncy, sparse bassline that follows the root notes of your chords. A "plug" or "donk" bass sound works well; keep it rhythmically simple and let it interact with the kick.
