It's banging on the speakers, but on head phones you dont hear em.. And dont come up with "layer with reece, it's better" i'm makin something dubwise, and not dubwise like "the return of the killer dreads". really dubwise. __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 29-07-2005 19:33 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  How about getting better headphones then? __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 30-07-2005 12:39 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  It's more like a bass you more feel than hear, and i'd like to put something on it so it's "feelable" and "hearable" __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 30-07-2005 13:10 @1$-) unregistered yeh....... what surya said 30-07-2005 16:01 optikal_assassin |da jungle snipa| Registration Date: 18-07-2005 Posts: 582 Helpfulness rating:  quote: How about getting better headphones then? If you want something feelable and hearable so to say, it might not be a half bad idea to try and layer two basslines. Use one that's distorted and filter all the sub frequencies out of that, then layer that on top of the same bassline but with just the sub frequencies. That way they won't clash as bad and you won't lose that bass warmth. Alot of the shit is trial and error man, tune...tune...tune... __ Jungle Snipa on MySpace 02-08-2005 20:48 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya Saturation is a form of distortion Side chaining is when you use one channel to drive the compression for an other channel.

This feature uses the dynamic level of another input to control the compression level of the signal. This is used by disk jockeys to lower the music volume automatically when speaking, for example (known as ducking). Another use is in music production, to maintain a loud bass track, while still keeping the bass out of the way of the bass drum when the drum hits. it's that awful benny benassi and the like-sound. sometimes I swear I can hear entire tracks sidechained to the kick which makes it stand out while everything volumes down. this is a second time it's talked about here, I can't really understand why because its not something familiar with dnb, where the bass is always deeper than the kick. imagine a sidechained bassline! __ https://soundcloud.com/tsai-vidro-voves 13-09-2005 10:08 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by cynik quote: taken from wikipedia Side-chaining Some compressors implement side-chaining.

It's not nesserserely side chaining. If you put a compressor on the whole track and mix the kick in loud, you'll have the same effect... The thing with sidechaining is that you can have one sound driving the compressor, but you don't have to run that sound through the mixer to get the effect... __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 13-09-2005 10:51 Greyone Master Producer Registration Date: 01-04-2005 Posts: 6,285 Helpfulness rating:  all that stuff is too complicated I guess i'll do those things too and mess with it till it's right ... but the theory about all that Maybe i should take EQing lessons somewhere. 13-09-2005 17:40 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya How about getting better headphones then? quote: Originally posted by MUNKI C yeh....... what surya said I've got €99 Sennheiser hd500's...i'd expect some quality for that price.
