in some songs i hear different hi-hats / rides sounds
eg first a hi- hat on the offbeat and then further in the track a ride on the offbeat
but when i try this to my songs it doesnt sound really well the difference is to big
can somebody give me some tips to create some subtile changes
more hi-hats, rides in one song question
im on my work so i cant search for an audio example
but out the top of my head so dont nail me on it:
claro intelecto- Signifier
first there is a subtile hi-hat playing on the offbeat then another louder hi-hat is playing on the offbeat and then in the last part a ride is playing on the offbeat
delano smith- this heart
is also a nice example
first there is something like a tamb on the first and third 16th
with a subtile hi-hat on the offbeat
then another louder hi-hat is coming in after a few min
i dont get it or do they just increase the decay on the hi-hat

in my opinion depends only in the samples you're using or in which point of the track you put this new sound..zxcv wrote:in some songs i hear different hi-hats / rides sounds

If you want sonic continuity, maybe consider synthesizing the hat and like you say, altering the decay on it or something. If you are using samples, use a long one and shorten it for the closed hat and extend the decay for the open hat and ride. I'm not quite sure how you are having a problem with a sound such as this.
When you use samples, pick ones that work well together and compliment each other. I really can't think of much else other than sequencing and envelope shaping.

thanks for the tip about the rides to pan them to the other side
im at home and i meant delano smith- dee's gruv instead of this heart
thats a great example
to me it sound like
a hihat on the first and the third 16th
then a offbeat hat is added then the decay is decreased of the offbeat hat
and finally there is something like a ride
