help! distortion
« on: February 22, 2016, 04:18:02 am »
So im working on my first track ever. Im creating a dubstep track mostly using samples but creating what i can on the way. so far got an entire intro and drop arrangement created. most of the bass hits are from samples. I created the sub bass using massive, and the drums are edited from samples but arranged in my way. The drop consists of a bass hit, a sub bass, an atmosphere sample, and a pluck sample all the way through. On the heavier bass hits, both the bass hit and kick or snare are creating some sort of horrible sounding distortion, how do i get rid of this? help appreciated , thanks

You probably have some bass frequencies muddying up your mix. Look into eq-ing and sidechain compression

can you provide a little video showing this? show us the mixer, show us your chains etc? lots of things could be causing distortion.

EQing helped, thanks
