Listen to smooth by T I D E #np on #SoundCloud

I forgot how simple writing pop/indie music can be...

The bass doesn't cut through with the highs or mids, so it can sound kinda lacking on a cheap phone speaker. It's actually not a real bass either, pitch shifted guitar 😶

Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but one trick I use when I make basses like that is to apply a multiband compressor to it so that I can apply certain affects such as distortion to the mids and highs without it killing the low end of the bass. This also allows me to keep the stereo width of the bass at 0 while also being able to add width to the mids/highs. If you use ableton I actually made a rack for it that you can just drop into the audio affect rack @Deleted User

oops, just seeing this now

I do use Ableton yeah, not super learned on multiband compression

Can't you achieve something similar to what you're describing by method of splitting your lows and highs into different tracks?

Cause isn't multiband compression basically just being able to control compression amount across different frequencies(bands)?

Just like, a signal chain simplifier?

And I've got a real Bass coming for Christmas 😀
Can't wait to record

Also in ableton, There's a few stock plugins that can be used to similar effect, like the overdrive, it has a built in frequency envelope.

Ableton has a multiband compressor that splits the frequencies up into the lows/mids/highs on one track and then allows you to add your affects to each frequency range which would reduce the need for multiple tracks with multiple affects on each track which just helps with cpu and also gives you better control over the frequency range of each category (lows mids and highs) without having to basically make three separate midi/audio tracks and then group them together to apply affects over all three. Basically it’s like splitting them into the three tracks and then grouping all tree together to give you the ability to add certain affects to the entire sound but with the control of keeping the bass in mono. You could do it manually, but why go through the trouble when you can just throw on the multiband compressor and be done with it. There are many other uses for multiband compression that you can use at that point as well but I don’t tend to use it for much more than that myself except for when I’m doing sound design.

I’ll upload the ableton rack I made so you can use it if you want

right, awesome

make that 4 actually

I started this one like 5 years ago though and im still not really too happy with it

I'll give these a proper listen tomorrow on my monitors

👍

dude, the percussion on all of these is great

Thanks 😃 Most of my music background comes from playing rhythm/lead guitar growing up

So I don’t know where the drum stuff came from. Just a natural thing I guess lol

I get pretty autistic with the drums though. I like to layer foley sounds over the drum hits to add texture. Most of my snare drums have recordings of bacon cooking in a pan layered over them for instance lol

wtf

Does anybody paint?

lil bit

sounds a bit better now 😃

I’m just getting into drawing and painting I’m surprising myself. Long way to go of course

Looks exactly like your dog @William Russell

Goofy face and all

Haha thank u
