Hey there
I am having trouble adjusting the Kick to the Bassline it always sounds like the kick is changing the tone everytime it is played. My guess is that it is a phase issue but i am not sure.
any ideas and help is really appreciated

First, it sounds like the bass is owning your kick.
I can't hear the tone thing you're talking about, but its obvious you have a lot of lower frequencies interfering with the kicks breathing room.
I would turn the bass down one.
But rather then recommend sidechaining (if you don't want the pumping sound) do a simple low freq cut automation.
Whatever you do, you're trying to have your cake and eat it, its not gonna work.
Render your kick as a seperate wav track and then render your bass seperately. Lay them out in front of you and just look how the sounds interact. Is there a lot of drift after the kick? Is that drifting over your bassline?
Look at the peaks, make sure as one starts to peak the other goes down, ORR just cut out all the low frequencies from the bass and leave it that way. The kick will hit so hard you won't even realize the bass is missing any bass. But all and all just LOOK at the wav files laid out in front of you, 95% of the time you will see the problem.
The tone (which I can't hear changing) can easily be some phase cancellation going on, again just seperate the sounds better. If you need, resubmit the bassline and kick seperate, I'll mix them down for you and you can see what it sounds like. If you do it with in the next half hour or so I'll be around, otherwise you'd have to wait till tommorow. As a last note the kick itself sounds rather weak, change it to something more dynamic or thumpy. It doesn't seem to hit the way a kick really should. Good luck! |
