Hi all,
Just a thought really, because i seem to be rubbish at layering, would be good to get some input from some of the decent producers here.
When making noisia style dark neuro basses, people often say its due to layering and the fx chain. Now i know none of us here have really cracked how to make it, but some are getting close no doubt and we have some excellent producers here.
This could be translated across all genres, liquid, jump up etc aswel...
Q1
But when you make your bass sounds, and you decide to resample, to layer it with a different sound, how do you decide like "yea this will make a good part of the bass i want, ill resample this, then i need something sounding like... ..." to get the sound your after once its layered.
I cant seem to get two different bass sounds to mould together and sound decent, ends up muddy and horrible.
Is it just something that comes with experience?
Any input would be great, also...
Q2
Is there a general rule of thumb for what effects to put before and after others in the "fx chain", i usually just load them all up whereever, and didnt realise it made a difference if its first or second, but its something ive heard talked about alot here.
So for example is it good practise to put say disto before chorus but disto always after flanger... or does it just alter the sound in different ways and give a different sound? To me its hardly noticeable tbh, but i dont have a decent pair of monitors or anything, just bog standard hifi speakers.
Again any input wud be great, help us newbies understand a little better, I cant be the only one thinking this surely?
Cheers
