I've been working on a tune with my studiopartner Amorph called "Crossover". It's not finished yet, but the general blueprint is there.

Please take a moment to check it out. We would love to hear your thoughts and comments.

A few things that I'm not satisfied with myself are:

- the kick & snare: they need a tad more punch, probably have to layer them some more.

- we looped a jive stab from a sample pack, but it gets a bit on your nerves after a while. we either have to think about bringing in a new synth or try to do something different with the stab.

- the bassline: we need to get it more upfront, any ideas on how to get it deeper and crisper are welcome.

Please visit this Myspace to hear the track: http://www.myspace.com/konnektmusic

Your bassdrum is all bass and has no initial hit, layer it with the hit of another kick (or a little piece of snare or.... be creative) and highpass the drum at 80Hz or so to get the deep end off.

To get punch on your bassdrum and snare you could layer them ofcourse, but you could also use Izothope Ozone to process them. To get a better feel to the kick and snare I sometimes pitch them up a bit.

Your bass is all sub and no mids. If you lowpassed the bass then stop doing that Big Grin
Otherwise layer a second bass onto the one you are using now (don´t add the samples together, use a different sample and let it play the same patterns, the mid needs to be processed differently).

For the "boring" stab, you are pretty much right. Use your imagination and experiment with it. Something that always goes well with such an instrument is a Rhodes organ, but then againm think outside the box.

Cheers
