| How can i make a track sound "rawer" and less clear in a good way? Im really bad at describing what i mean with raw sound but this was common in older trance and especially GOA music. I know it much depends on the sounds you choose but mixing wise i wanna know how to achieve that type of "old" sound which simply doesn't exist today. |

| Don't use as many hi hats and other high end percussion. Fewer effects, and fewer tracks in general. Also tape saturation. |

| Not sure I comprehend what sound that you're looking for, but I think that maybe you want some mild harmonic distortion? Have you tried a tape saturation effect? |

| little to no reverb and delay. As MJB mentioned, the more raw and upfront a sound is, the more space it takes therefore less sounds. Use a cabinet sim . distortion or saturator send on elements you want to thicken. Lowering the bit and sample rate works well on drums. |

| pitching down the sounds make them sound a bit raw, vocoder & grain effects sometimes work well too |

I suggest getting into FM sounds like in FM8. The fx and fm programming can get a lot of those dense dirty, but still relatively sharp and clear sounds. It really depends how you go about it.
But FM8 is great for that. I like a lot of "raw" sounds myself. More in the way that they resonate loud at low volumes and bring essential depth to a track. |

| yeah I think eq your sound then add distortion overdrive etc then eq again to take off unwanted added freqs is what I think your after. Also a cabinet sim like m4b suggested can really give you a nice crunch in your sounds |

| distortion works, together with gating your drumbus it works even better. RAW <> smooth (smooth is verbtails, tape saturation, tube emulation) try to stay away from these type of effects if you want a "raw" upfront sound |

That's sorta what I was getting at in my post - I don't understand if he actually wants raw/in-your-face or "less clear in a good way", which, to me, implies smeared (e.g., ala saturation). |
