Been fucking around all day and all I have is 6 patterns. They sound good though. Oh and I have colour coded them all with their channels in the mixer. I was gonna give them all little pictures but I didn’t like the icons.

I can do bit I warn you , it’s pretty boring. The autobots aren’t set up yet and hardly any efects have been set so its pretty plain. I want some advice on basslines with a bass like this am I right in guessing that it’s just a steady

of bass hits with a low bass note. Or is it made with something else. My probelm lays with the mixing levels o the kick and the bassline I think. i’m using a parametric EQ but I always get them clashing like fuck. I’m only using this tune as a example i’m not rying to copy it but it has the exact type of basslines and kick i’m having trouble emulating.

PS I tried to make a breaks tune but I failed badly. I just get lost in the makings of it : (

have you got the EQ tracks mapped to a CC knob on your keyboard or controller (if you have one) and are perhaps they emulating “British” EQ? This is very wide at each EQ point and you need to adjust this so you are working on the frequency range of each instrument.

NB: I am looking at this more from the POV of a production/broadcast/radio engineer where we use this either to boost up signals from a long remote analogue circuit where they have been lost due to capacitance in the cable, or to filter out interference (when decoding a signal sent over the air), but its essentially the same principle in reverse.

if you have any VST or whatever these things are for metering with a spectrum analyser, you can use this to see the frequencies or your instruments when you solo the track..

Yeah the pluggin EQ I use has the spectrum analysis built in (which is very handy) I really have so much to learn about music. I really wish I hadn’t taken so much time away from it. Now so many projects that I had started are sitting there dead and I haven’t got a clue where I was going with them. Oh well onwards and upwards and a bit to the left.

I’ve put a post on the sound engineering section about parametric EQ’s and their use..

It takes time anyway. in 1995 I helped a friend whom I met through OOOPS! set up his first project studio using a PC (very new tech back then). He achieved his ambition to set up a recording studio, but it was 2005/06 before it opened – 10 years of hard slog. Some of the issues along we encountered along the way hurt our brains…
