Guest lifeform Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Ok... I've been doing alot of chilly dubby work lately and my sound is way to clean and clear. I mean, i dont want it to be unclear... But when it's very bright and clear, sometimes it's not good. Like my case... Anyone got any tips on how to dirty up a mix a bit? I'm kinda going for the evil and ham style of younger brother. Any tips will be appreciated. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpongled Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Try to get some analog gitar effect pedals (distortion, flanger, phaser, wah-wah etc.. or whatever) and put some of your sounds thru those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cujo Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 HELL YEA; they can do the most fantastic things to your sound. :-) ESPECIALLY some Death Metal Distortion Thingie :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Indidginus Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Quadrafuzz VST plug-in will mash your sound up nicely (as well as many others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strumpling Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Take every sound that sounds too "clean" and make a few more "versions" of them (slightly different pitches or lengths, wobble/flange/whatever them a bit....... you know, different "versions!" heh) to hide right UNDER the "top" ones. This way your "top" layer stays "clean" but there are "unclean" sounds right under them (don't make 'em as loud as the origs, at least not near the beginning of your track That should "dirty" it up a bit -=- Matt/Strumpling -=- stupid amatuer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lunarsea Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 hey!Slidingtrancer,if your sound is muddy and unclear heres a tip: DONT BOOST LOW FREQS WITH THE EQ CUT THEM INSTEAD you'll find that you can turn every thing up more and it sounds clearer and you still retain the bass end!
