Re: Phantom Distortion

this video is just plain wrong... he cancels the kick BEFORE going into the overdrive, doing just nothing. you don't need the 'group within a group'. It's been a while since I used logic, but I'd make the kick/ride combo with distortion or whatever, send it to a buss, then take another track with th...

Re: "How to" Topic

It's a beginners video, Pedro... And in his defense, he said "try it out" at least five times in the first five minutes. But maybe he said "and you're done" or "and now you know" a bit too often. Now I'm waiting for your advanced synthesis video :P I know you can do it, your music at least is top no...

Re: EQing out the resonances

If you don't treat annoying resonances before processing that adds harmonics, you'll end up with multiples, and when you come to the point you want to bring your mix to a competitive level, those ugly resonances will stand out even more. Trying to get rid of them in the final stage will have an impa...

Re: EQing out the resonances

It's the old "trust your ears"... I may even boost them at times, depending on the situation. One constant though is cutting 909 cymbals/hats, these are infamous (or anything in that category).

Re: Pop tunes from your youth that you hated

I hated anything not metal in my early teens, had my music world opened up since my 16th, but still hated pop, like that Aqua Barbie Girl shit. Nowadays I can appreciate stuff much easier, noticing production or chord progressions, in a Rick Beato's "what makes this song great" kinda way. So things ...

Re: Going Modular..

IF, and only if... I go the modular route it will be something like that Erika Synth Techno monster, although that Surgeon in Schneiderladen vid was entertaining. I'm just afraid I'm gonna fall in that 'if only I would add this, then I could...' trap.

Re: Shitty production, awesome tunes

About some of the tracks mentioned here, like Pulse X. Doesn't nostalgia come into play here? I never heard that track before. As a first time listener, I think it stinks in 2021. In 2002 it probably was fresh and new, and the bomb in certain clubs. Would The Bells in 2021 become a classic? (Not tha...

Re: Lan5 - Feedback

Hey mindstuff, I was initially going to respond in the Phosphate, but I think here is more appropriate. To be honest, I didn't particularly like Phosphate, but I could hear the craft and power of the track. My taste is just not the big reverb, trancy and resonant bass kind of techno. Everyone has th...

Re: Sean Ocean - pt 51 MEV

To me it feels a lot housier than techno. I really like the vibe and groove, and keep hearing an organ, maybe a vocal snippet. Like illit_ said, sounds like a nice groove in a live set, where you mix in another track to make it bang. I'd shuffle my feet to that. What's a "current techno set" anyway?...
