Guest DeeperNETWERK Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Listening now... The bass kick is alittle muddy, those are nice strings though. Maybe lay down alittle ping pong delay on that 303 riff. Bassline doesn't stick out enough, should be in the same freq range as the bass drum. Wait, actually i dont even hear a bassline... You need something interesting going no... More sounds to attach the leads/rhythm and acid utterness, or a big soaring lead. It's very empty... Not to diss your track, but a lot of work could be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest random Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 "should be in the same freq range as the bass drum" *NEVER* All you'll get is bass useless buildup. Seperate them as much as possible, while keeping them in the low end of the spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeeperNETWERK Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 "*Never*" I disagree... This is how you get "that" sound. That thumping bass groove. You want the bass and the kick to be a part of eachother, as the kick is what moves the basslines. You may do your recording differently, random, but this is how i get my grooves down.

Guest random Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 if you want your bass and kick to merge into a "groove", use compression like everyone has been doing the last 30 years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeeperNETWERK Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 That has nothing to do with what we are talking about, but ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scalar Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 well OK. First off, I like this track, and it has a lot more feel than most stuff i've been listening to recentely. How to improve... Well I'll start with the kick drum... There are far to few variations and the odd well placed fill could work wonders, helping to introduce a new section. Also the kick is too loud and swamping the rest of the mix. The Bass is not clear enough, and I think it need a low mid EQ boost, if this starts to screw around with the kick, then chisel out the bass lines attack EQ from the kick. The 303 is in need of more interest!!!!! Lets face it, EVERYONE has heard a squelchy 303, and it would be nice if it did something different. Or if you really do want that 303 sound, I reckon some subtle delay, and effects over that delay, would really help keep the mystical vibe going, as it currently is, its to cutting and destroying the dreamyness of the track. I'd alter the rythyms around too. To much of the rythyms are exactly the same all the way through. At about 5.00 minutes in, I noticed a repetitive stab going on all the time, kinda like a 303 nearly always on the same dominant note, although sometimes it goes to the tonic. I really don't like this noise! The kick isn't good at the end either. Kinda like you didn't know what to do with it. It would sound nicer if you performed a high pass sweep up, or screwed around with some mad delays to finish with or something. It really needs some added interest. Apart from that (!) I like this track. What we have heart is a nice chunk of old school goa, with a very nice feeling, and some very nice production! I just think maybe some of the above would help. And some nice pads at the end, which you haven't heard earlier in the track to keep up the interest. Hope you appreciate the honest opinion, and maybe you could do the same for me? Http://www.mp3.com/psy-a-nide the song i'd like you to check out is 'Strange Fruit' all the best and keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest random Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 well lemme explain what I was saying then. Normally your bassline plays around frequency X at decibel A. Your kick plays at freq Y and decibel B. But if you play your kick at freq X. Each time the kick and the bass play at the same time, you'll end up with Freq X playing at decibel A+B and clipping will occur. You'll be forced to turn the volume down for both parts, then on everything else in the track cause you need to balance it out. What will result of this is a track that is mixed too low and too bassy. May sound fine on home sound systems.. but it'll be totally unplayable in a club/rave.
