I'm not ignoring your thread, I just don't feel I can particularly help mate. Could you post up an embedded example track of what your'e aspiring to.
Personally the kick doesn't groove for me, it's not something I can put words to, but for this track I think a different kick would give it a better foundation. It needs to speak to the bass, be in keeping with it.
It's so much a taste call in the end, but I'm imagining something more Tekky and minimal without sounding too small though.
Chooosing the right kik is I think one of the top 3 competencies required in edm and I can say hand on heart I've never yet been satisfied with my own choices. It's litteraly as crucial as cooking a piece of fish to 3 Michelin* perfection. Sorry for the food analogy yet again folks! I actually have this sense that many of us, self included, don't even recognise the subbtleties involved in this. We know whan something sounds right, but not why.
But we like a challenge, so chin up, never give in me lad! |
I like a good food/music analogy, I use them all the time!
It's weird though, I think the newest version of the track with the tweaked kick is probably it's strongest element now. I don't think the sub bass is quite there yet and it still needs some of the mid bass altered so it all sits together properly.
Still, it's got me X way closer to the kind of sound i'm after so it's all good.
Perhaps I should spend more than one track at a time on a particular genre, but me gets bored y'see.

alright so listened finally at home, and it's certainly not a bad start. im interested in hearing what your idea is for the central theme of this track outside of teh pluck/sine melodies
as far as bass goes, you need a driving mid bassline that pwns teh face and then beef up the acid and booooom you can has tyas |
I agree with the additions, although I deliberately left them out so as to get the basics as right as I could get them.
Time to add sum shizzle
