Thanks for the info on the instruments, ZM. I'm on a Mac so can't use Sytrus or Directwave, but I do have equivalents in my arsenal. The key information you gave me, however, is that the bass sound I've been searching for is actually an 808 sound. I'm totally useless at discerning different EDM genres and, frankly, recognizing an 808 or 909 or whatever when I hear it. So, it was more helpful than you can imagine to learn from you that I should be focusing on searching for the 808 sound I want. I definitely can do that now, so thank-you for the guidance on that.

I was reflecting on this exchange with you last night and it occurred to me that we really could use a specialized forum area here on LM where members could ask for advice on how to do various things. I decided yesterday to experiment with side-chain compression on a sustained bass note (1 full bar), ducking the bass (triggered by the initial quarter note kick). I know how to do do this, at least I thought I did, but regardless of which compressor I use, I get a "click" sound from the bass at the outset of each "duck". I don't know what I'm doing wrong and there's no place to get advice on that from LM members who know more than I do. We need the LM forums back I think.

Wow this is truly touching my soul . Totally my style and it just brought me to a peaceful place . May your journey be filled with great adventures , Love it

Hi, ZM:

This track has such a dreamy, laid-back flow to it. Works really well. I liked the lo-fi treatment and the mix sounded great. Very well-balanced and different sounds/instruments were nicely distinct in the spectrum.

I would really like to know how/what you used to produce the bass sound. It's pretty much exactly what I've been trying to create myself, but haven't found the right VST or patch yet. Very smooth. Was perfect for the track.

Regards from Ottawa,

Eric

fantastic title, the stylus crackle just adds to what i was expecting, such as sad vibe from the intro. beautiful keys bro the melody is heart tearing and the drum works are oh so subtle, maybe i could write something touching and send you my vocal layout dry and you could engineer it and add it at a later time if you think its ok, your shout Zivon i wont be offended if you say no :))
off the top of my head, one listen

staring out windows
where does the time go
smelling the primrose
as the moonlit dim goes

chorus?
