Must be my age - finding myself falling for the 'clean' sound.

Just a taste thing but just wondered if anyone else there is becomming a sucker for the clean?
Nothing serious here guys, no right or wrong, just curious if others maybe find thier ears yearning for space and cleanliness lately?
Lately I find I'm drawn to very clean tracks which might include short envelope times, mainly non to fullsome verbs, lots of lovely space and air around each sound and dare I say it ......... less layering.
I've been through a phase of layering leads,pads and basses but lately like the challenge of trying to find the 'right sound' if there is such a thing, that tends not to need much or even any layering.
I personally think my kicks are more palatable now I'm only layering 2 at most (one main and one clicky one with a short ambient verb). |

| I don't know if I'd call it a "clean" sound but I'm definitely trying to achieve more with less nowadays. That's not saying I'd be going for a minimal sound or anything, I just find myself stripping unnecessary FX and backing sounds from my tracks. |

Sounds like you mean "spare" more than "clean."
I usually hear "clean" used in contrast to "dirty" (i.e. noisy, distorted, or otherwise not so pristine), not in contrast to "highly layered." |

Yes I think spare is perhaps a better adjective. I still like dirty individual sounds for sure.
I don't like pop radio on in the car as it's like a wall of constant unrelenting sound - deffo the age I think |
