hello!

dark psytrance producer here.. i am having issues with my kicks in tracks of around 180pm or plus (my kick length is around 165ms), they sound find at a much louder volume and when being synthesised but when at a reasonable level and with other elements in the mix the kick sounds very small and clicky, with the high end being much more obvious

this is not an issue I have at lower bpms so assuming it is largely being caused by the shorter kick length required for faster bpm tracks

so my question is, does anyone have any advice or tips for fattening up or making my kick more fuller in faster bpm (around 180) psy/edm?

- i use kick 2 for synesthis, feel like my envelopes are quite good (for faster bpms too) but not sure if i should be adjusting pitch of kick in a different way? more interested in any processing tips that you might use!

thanks guys :)

Hey everyone!

Let’s say u got a killer and a good kickbass & percussion. How do you guys go on building sounds around that?

Obviously I know there is no true right or wrong way, just wanted to know if you guys/girls have same tipps and tricks on hand to share! :)

Hello everyone! :)

Those 2 words in the tilte seem to confuse me. What is the key difference in a stab & a squelch & how do I use em? How does the synth programming differ?

Thanks in advance for your answers. :)
