WIP (obviously) ... bass house-ish stuff
« on: January 07, 2016, 04:55:49 am »
https://soundcloud.com/djdefault/wip-samples-are-just-fillers/s-F1T09


boys noize samples are fillers...song is empty but its early early on. you can basically ignore everything after the 1:00 mark.
just any suggestions on what to add or if the "wubs" sound weird to you at all. i've replayed this too many times and i'm unsure if it sounds off to me because it's off or because thats what happens when you hear the same thing a million times.

Not to familiar with the genre, checked a few tracks out now. However, listening to your track, mix is great, only thing i  feel needs some work is the bassline. It gets kinda repetitive and boring (compared to other tracks in this genre I've heard). maybe use a bouncier pattern.. not sure how to type what i am hearing lol

I think your lfo might be out of sync, at some points it seems like its not doing a full cycle before repeating. Also I would try messing around with adding in new types of bass sounds and switching between the bass noise you have  and some new sounds, which could give this song some phrasing/verses. Mix sounds pretty clean, and I really like the weird background effects. Was that just a sample or did you use a synth?

Switching up the bass is something I've been trying since I posted it....I wouldn't 100% say this is like other bass house tracks but it's the closest genre I could think of. And yeah typing sounds is impossible lol

The LFO feels like it gets out of sync when the note I'm using changes but I messed with it for so long, its the closest I could get it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong TBH :( Not sure which background effects you're referring to but its about half/half for synths vs. samples.

there sometimes are settings in your synth that allow your lfo to restart when you play a new note, otherwise the lfo will continue to oscillate throughout your song without restarting this is most likely the problem.

I'd love to hear a switch-up in the bass sound but still using the same melody.  Maybe one less filtered and more angry

I agree with this fool below. 

But I would also recommend adding some breaks or fills in your bassline to switch it up.  Or even some well executed moments of essentially silence. Silence is imo one of the most underused tools at a producers disposal.
