RE: New Track
Cheers for the listen
. Yeah I know the bass is pretty standard blah-bass but I got so caught up on the pads and gates I just threw it down all at once, spent too long trashing files and files of things that didn't sound quite right so I thought hey, get some stuff out and start again!
This track uses two loops, one runs through a bitcrusher and has some stereo widening and compression, and the main one runs through compression and I've also sliced up the .wav file to bring it up from 140bpm to whatever the track is. Also there's a clap sample added when the kick is running with some slight effects so it cuts right... I think! I've just got a royalty free set someone bought me when I started out, about 300 or so percussion loops and about 100 of each drum (kick, snare clap) and I work from all those, sometimes just a loop, other times moved about a lot more.
If you get a chance check out
Frob, got a lot more complicated bass with a stereo sound on it and the percussion is a lot more complex. Well, compared!
Cheers dude I will check out tunes once I've re-formatted this God forsaken machine... still on XP SP 1!!! Time to fix.
Edit: Dude, your tracks kick ass. Particularly like
98 Stars. Usually as soon as people go harder with trance it puts me off but I'm seriously liking your style. So many synth layers! My machine drops out at about 4 moderately complex synth patches, lol. I can't even count how many you got going! But that's not to say it's over done, they're layered to perfection. Really like the progressions and arrangement, and the way you use piano/keys that cut through the leads and pads. Awexome!
