Maybe try to change your practice techniques.
Grab a progressive house track or high energy track and try to recreate it or mimic it. Obviously don't copy it exactly but use it as a guidance tool. Also maybe get a progressive house sample pack that has midi files so you can learn the chord progressions. Don't be afraid to fight it. If its what you wanna make, you gotta learn how to make it.

You are welcome! Glad you got it figured out. Little things like that can drive you mad.

Ive always read that you do not want to cut them on the master, but to do it on each individual track that has frequencies going into that range.

As for not hearing those frequencies, I know you can still feel certain frequencies. And correct me if im wrong as im no expert on the issue, but i thought that even though you cant hear those frequencies, you can still feel them.

SPIRE

X­Comp – multiband compressor. It’s disabled when the knob is in its rightmost position;
Velocity – determines the amount of velocity sensitivity;
Volume – overall level.

Bottom right hand corner in Spire.


Velocity Modes:
● Key – each note in the arpeggio uses its own velocity value, determined by the current
MIDI note.
● Hold – all notes have the same velocity value as the first played MIDI note (until
released).
● Step – takes the velocity value from the step sequencer.
● Step+Key – takes into account both the step sequencer and MIDI note’s velocities.
● Step+Hold – takes into account both the step sequencer and the first played MIDI note’s
(until released) velocities.

Done.

Ya know I don't know where it is on Spire either. I'll look when I get home.
As for Sylenth, I don't have it so I'm not sure.


Anyone else know where the velocity setting is in Sylenth?

Thanks Ferio. Appreciate the advice.
