Why not send Will Atkinson a message on a fan page and see if he replies? Plenty of trance producers are extremely helpful dudes

I can never seem to make decent pads that sound organic, they always end up sounding too "synthy" if that makes sense?

Just play with the midi until you like it? It doesn't sound anything too out of the ordinary

« on: February 29, 2016, 08:41:53 am »What I do when layering kicks and snares is a bit complex but it does wonders.That makes sense, and it works in your 2 tracks you posted. A little workflow heavy however haha
Lets say I have a kick and a snare, I would make a ghost channel for both. So I'd take the transients of both, put them on their own channel and mute the output. This gives me the kick channel, the snare channel, the ghost kick channel and the ghost snare channel.
Then I sidechain the snare channel to the ghost kick, so the kick's transient will punch through instead of being washed away by the snare's transient. At the same time, I sidechain the kick by the snare's ghost channel. However, I only sidechain away the frequency in the kick, where the snare's fundamental frequency is.
Doing this, u make room for the kicks thump (the fundamental frequency) in the kick, and u make room for the kicks transient.

I ended up screwing around with the placement of the snare itself and threw a tiny little bit of sc on it, so that it didnt play exactly in time with the Kick. I also EQ'd the kick to take away some of the highs.
Sample selection made a big difference too.

Also, Dmitry's video was very helpful to me a while back as well.

Mixing/Mastering / Layering a snare over a kick. Mix help
« on: February 26, 2016, 07:52:08 am »
Hey everyone,
I can never seem to get a snare/clap to sit over a kick and sound proper. I either cut too much away and it sounds like a weird transient of the kick itself, or I leave too much low end from the snare, and it messes with the lower frequencies of the kick itself. Sometimes it sounds okay, but most of the time it just doesn't
What are some tips for layering a snare/clap over a kick on every other beat? I can't seem to get the processing correctly.

I usually send all of my drums to a plate or a small room verb, but the kick, never. It has a cool effect for sure.

Grum right now is one of my favourite producers. If you listen closely, you can tell theres a reverb on his kick. Does that seem odd to anyone else?

I've been in some very talented producer's studios, some with releases on Anjunabeats/other top labels. And the first thing I notice, is how quiet they all produce at.

Maybe more automation on the lead. Really close though

White noise, distorted saw basslines, layers and layers of saws, layered claps, high hats.
Layer everything.
