Can you check the following sample that i have created, and tell me whats wrong with it. I am not feeling it when the drums are coming in. Is the lead/bass riff too fast/slow. How can i match my drums to it, or match the riff too it perfectly? I am using Ableton live by the way. Any other tips would be appreciated also!
they are perfectly matched, but the snare is too high, kick is too low, and the bass is very very low when the drums come in. do some eq/level mixing. also lower the lead.
and if you're using ableton u can always use the warp thing to match your audio clips.
well the snare sounds kinda good. it's snappy, but the kick is very low. try layering another kick on top of that, a more punchy one. and kill the reverb, it cuts it's power. if you want reverb on your kick put a send effect, not direct, with some 50% volume, so you'll have the clean kick, and a shade of reverb. and route the kick and snare through a compressor, to make them sound tighter, like one piece.
and sometimes boosting is not the answer. rather try to cut some freqs below 80-90hz.
have phun expermienting!
also your bass could you some eq at maybe 70-80hz, and hard compression, so it stays equally levelled on all the notes you play.

if your not feeling it man, move on to something else or put it up for colab
i see no point in slogging your guts out only to cancel the project in a week or so.
you could stick it on the back burner and come back to it in a few months when inspiration strikes.
__ m-ej is taking a few steps back from forum life.
i meant boost 70-80hz. if you still don't feel the bass add a sub bass (=a sine wave, or a saw with low cut at 100hz) with heavy compression. you should try and make a track. it would be easier for us to review a track rather than a 20 sex sample. and use your ears dude. and experiment a lot. i mean A LOT.
