Here we go again! My third track on C2, stretch.
Update:
Jblann helped to get more bottom end from the bass by switching to his awesome headache bass pcmsynth preset and tweaked a few things so now it sounds more full and mastered. I added a new effect and adjusted a few things to try and clean up the sound as it sounded overloaded and muttled a bit.
Really nice mekanism! Did you do the panning and volume modulation with automation?
Very effective. And the sounds are great!
Thanks for listening. Yeah I just automated the panning on the main mixer for the voicy sound and automated the depth knob on the LFO for the gritty bass sound. I pretty much built the entire track around the bass sound, i was having too much fun with it and couldnt resist! I also love using the spread knobs in the main mixer to set the staging.
Nice one, lots of animation on this track.
After revisiting this track today I realize I may have overdone it with the oscillating bass sound. My wife says its like when a guitarist gets stuck in a sweet riff and cant pull themselves out. Im thinking of re mixing the last half of the track to be more in tune with the first half. I created the second half first and struggled trying to build up to it. I think i need to practice some constraint, but to me that oscillating bass just melted me, what can i say!
Ill make it easy for you. Add a compressor block on your bass track. Threshhold 8:00 ratio 4:00 , attack 8:30 just above the minimum, and release at 4:00
Increase the bass track volume in the mixer
then press play
I added the compressor with the settings you mentioned but it just squashed the crap out of the sound and made it really distorted. I even tried messing with the device filter settings and removed the autonation on the LFO but it still sounded way too distorted. I dont have much luck using compression!
You could send me the song file, maybe i can take a poke at it? DropBox or email jblann1 at yahoo dot com
I sent it to your yahoo.
Got the email, im at work, and my phone wont download it. Its there but tells me its too big (14mb too big?) I tried piggybacking my tab thru my phone and grabbing it straight thru yahoo mail website, no dice. Ill hafta wait till I get home this evening....goofy wahoo mail
Yeah its weird, i had to upload the file via the share feature instead of using file attachment in gmail. I tried it using yahoomail too with no luck. If it doesnt work for you tonight I will resend using a real computer. And thanks for giving it a look see, I know how busy life can be so I appreciate your time!
Can´t play this file on soundcloud 8{
Edit: I opened your overview page on soundcloud, then it works (:
Maybe just an outdated link..
Ok, I finally got it up here.... Is it the OSCIBASS, that you're having issue getting real low end out of it?
I listened and looked at the straight wave file sample of the VoiceBass..... Alot of extra-harmonoic content that somehow nudges the fundamental out of the way in your mix. I'm gonna kick back your tune with my HeadacheBass sound, and a few other little tweaks (sorry can't help myself).
It's a groovy groove nonetheless. You suprised me how you did the bass thing with the HPF.
Thx, it was fun to play with after a stressful Monday
Check yo' mao'
Thanks for the help J. I had to remove a little of the bass gain to help the end of the track where it gets noisy, and adjust the filters some more to get it where I wanted it. With your help I believe it sounds much better!
Really really nice track. I don't think that you need to alter anything. Keep it as it is :o)
