Wow what a great initiative! Glad to see it works out for you. Right now I'm working in IT 4 days one week, 5 days next week, so I have got 1 full day off for music and I'm busy with it every day, every spare minute is spend on a track. I've been doing it (seriously) for 2+ years now. I can't quit t...

Well I have got this Multiband Dynamics thing in Ableton where you can separate each band. I don't know if you use Ableton but you can make Audio Effect Racks. Then create 3 chains (Lo,Mid,High) 3 Multiband Dynamics fx (select your solo freq on each so lo, mid and highs) on each chain. Process each ...

Wow that was interesting!

Ok well. I found another way to do it: split the bass in 3 frequency bands. Lows, < 120 hz, Mids, 120 <> 1,5 khz and Highs 1,5 khz >.
Sidechain the lower frequency band on the kick. And separate processing inserts for mids and highs.

Thanks guys for some insight in micing and recording. Well about the bassline thing, I've got my answer of Guys FB page :) Guy Gerber quote: "this is my MusicMan Stringray bass guitar which i used to record Steady .this beauty is from 1981 and it's def my favorite piece of gear in my studio.&qu...

Samples? Live performance recording? Like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1-NeN7fEqE

There is no "one techno sound". Learn what makes the different genres tick. Like house/garage uses many different phrases (verse/chorus) in a song each with different characteristics like vocals cut off, rimshots before and after the snare/clap etc etc. Techno used to be made of loops runn...

Thanks Rein. About the filters, you're right. But I'm looking into ways of taking it a step further. I kinda remember something about combining patches from different tracks with the different notes from chords. First note from patch1, third note from patch2 etc etc. I'm gonna experiment with that.

Guys, When creating patches for my music I just create a patch in my synthesizer, play in the midi, insert my effects (saturation,delay,reverb) and that's it. However when I'm listening to like Maya for example. Her sounds are so well designed and sound round and deep, they don't sound as dry as my ...
