Muddy track and the EQ?

[spyromus]

it could be that, thats a layered kick, it has short sine wave on top of it.

sounds like an 808 ish kick, but i could be wrong.

For some reason it reminds me Plastikman's early "Spastik": http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF71439-01-01-04.mp3

@micronink, the best tool for this is a sound editor (CEP, SoundForge etc). You take the part and decompile it piece by piece, like "ok, it's mono, here's the 57hz sine, next it starts with the kick and the sine is slightly compressed to make some room for a kick accent etc". Study it, you'll like it!

Also, I noticed you didn't want to sound as if you were going to copy things. Why not? Sampling and copying are two different things. Don't sample, but copy on the early stages and you'll get that essential practical knowledge faster. Plus it's an excellent exercise -- to model and shape sounds as you like, not as they do.

This information has proven to be very helpful thanks so much

yeah this is a good start. try filters along with eqs as well. filters will help more in my opinion.

nearly every track in a song i write has a hp filter, a lp filter and an eq on it.

Whats the diff between Eqing it off and Filtering it off? Isnt the Eq a Filter?
