Are they all the same? I would use different ones and maybe make some variation by slight layering or pitching. I think the instrumental stabs (with delay) aren’t in key?Ģ. Overall it’s not bad! The first things that come in my mind are:ġ. I also love to automate the dry and wetness of the reverbs.
Next to that you can send the distortion to 1 of the minor reverbs.įor atmos you can send it first through a delay and send the delay through the long reverb. So when I have a midbass I can run it through 3 different distortions to check which sounds the best, and it’s really easy and fast. + Several Sidechains (but most of the time i do that later). Well, what really helped me, I guess, is when I start a project I setup around 10 busses. My overall advise is: if the source of the drumwork is good enough, you don’t need a lot of processing at all! Then you get twice compression (which sounds unnatural in my opinion, and I love the natural sound of beats). Further I always try to avoid compression on drumwork, because when it will be released it gets mastered by labels. You won’t hear the midbass is changing, but the snares have way more room now to keep it punching through the mix. You need to have the same hit of the snare during the tune, so add a subtle sidechain around the snare frequency, with a really short release. If there is a lot of midbass going on, the mids can get in the way of the range of the snare. When I think the beats need more punch, sometimes I run them through Voxengo’s LF Max Punch, which can work really well!įurther it helps to add some sidechain on the snares. With layering I send all the snares to a bus, and the kicks to another bus and add the EQ part there, so they glue all nicely together.
With kicks it’s normally around 150 Hz, and with snares it’s around 250 Hz, but of course, that depends on your snares and kicks! Most of the time I add a little 2dB EQ peak on both the snares and kicks, so it cuts better through the sub, and the kicks and snares have more their own frequency peak. Sometimes the kick fits really good as a layer on the sub. Thanks man! Well it depends on every bit you make. The edits will come later and they will be way more structured. That’s the basis of how I do all my stuff. If you are happy try to spread it and build around it. My overall comment is: Try to make a 64bar loop without edits and check if you can listen to that for 5 minutes. For me that’s really important: a structure.Īlso the buildup with the kicks before the drops sound louder than the track drop itself. Too many edits may cause that it sounds a bit messy and than I can’t hear a proper flow in the track. This could work if there is no other option.įurther I’m missing an overall structure in your track. Send it to a little smooth and slightly wet reverb. Try to find why it’s distorted and fix that.Ģ. If you hear that on a PA it could really hurt peoples ears. Some atmos sound a bit distorted though, for example the one on 34 seconds. Hi Jesse, first of all I’m loving the overall sounds and atmosphere.
