RE: How do you mix your House-Tunes
Do a deep lowpass filtered bass that hits on the beats for the steady rhythm foundation then add a higher toned bass that hits on some up beats for a funky feel. A lot of trance, and house use a low bass with the kick. It adds all the omph to the mix but is hard to hear until it cuts out. The higher pitched bass is what makes the groove. So use a steady bump bump bumpbmp, eq everything over 100hz out of it, and then make a sencond funkyier bassline to sit on top that more audable. Sander Klienenburg, Cass, And many others do this all the time. You can use it for a dramatic build up . like after a break have the higher bass going then pause... roll, and drop the low end in and the mix pumps. If you are looking to disco or older chicago stuff find a bass player to sample. What I am talking about is more of tech-house, trance thing. You really need to know what you are afere. My bigest mistake is experimanting too much and not ending up with what I had envisioned. Somtimes cool, but mostly frustration. So write down what you want, make notes to come back to when you have to sleep ocasionaly.
