Micky

Thanks mate. And thanks for the Mosquite stems, it's gonna sound great I reckon. Cheers Chris.

I'm glad you like it Micky! Thank ya for feedback :)

Hi Micky, thanks for the listen and complement, much appreciated!

thankyou Micky, everyday is a school day, i have a new and settled approach these days, i used to just do one take everything verse chorus ad-libs, then multi layer arrange mix chop etc, now i do all separate 3 vox takes so i can change the tone or how i deliver it, and multi layer them, volume is the trick, all different, the finish tends to be better and my engineering has improved has as my knowledge, its an absolute pleasure for me to read my peers and artist i respect say they can here the improvement, thanks mate, that's all the motivation needed

Greetings Micky. Your stop and critique is appreciated in a huge way. Having fun and the fact you couldn't sit still is the target. Dealing with loops for me is like when the recording engineer would cut and splice magnetic tape and more. Really like assembling a 5000 piece puzzle. And it must fit perfectly. As I've mentioned in the comments on another track, my aim is to make digital sound analogue and to make some interesting and lively music for the listeners.

Stay Safe,
Mark

Do my best! Thanks mate. Might run something past you sometime soon.

Hey Micky. Thanks for your feedback and I'm happy you enjoyed it.
I think that highway you pictured is kind of where my mind lives a lot of the time :)
Wishing you all the best for New Year!

We are so p(l)eas-ed to hear that, Micky

Hi Micky,
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Im just as curious as you, haha. The thing is, I dont really consider myself a producer yet, so Ill simply explain the instruments I used and how I blended them... mostly by ear.

FL Studio (Beat):
Aside from the kick drum, I layered two bass sounds - a retro bass and a slap bass (both from Scaler 2) - along with a slightly freakish Freakstylez KS rhythmic arpeggiator from Dune 3.

Plugins on the kick (in this order):

Soft Clipper
Compression
EQ

Plugins on the bass (in this order):
Saturator
Soft Clipper
Compression
EQ

EQ settings:
Kick: Using Ozone 11 EQ, I cut everything below 20 Hz, boosted around 45 Hz by about +3 dB, and applied a bell cut around 90 Hz at roughly 3 dB. I also rolled off everything above 10 kHz.

Bass: Also using Ozone 11 EQ, I cut below 20 Hz, made a small bell adjustment around 45 Hz (about 3 dB), and boosted around 90 Hz by roughly +3 dB. Highs above 10 kHz were cut as well... essentially treating it opposite to the kick.

All other instruments were high-passed from around 100 Hz upwards (and panned for stereo width).
Vocals were high-passed from roughly 80 Hz upwards.

Vocal tracking and mixing were done in Adobe Audition.

So, between 20 Hz and just over 100 Hz, only the kick, bass, and vocals are present - everything else is cleared out of that range. Other percussion elements were panned slightly off-centre.

Both the kick, retro bass, and slap bass are centred (mono), and I used Fruity Limiter to sidechain both basses to the kick.

Mastering chain:
I applied a gentle boost around 60 Hz (roughly +1 dB) and a bell cut at around 375 Hz (about 1.7 dB).

Hope this makes sense :D

Sign me up as chief scientific officer please! Been listening to kruder and dorfmeister Vienna Arte concert. Sofa Rockers and Rollin on Chrome are great tracks. Have a great break over Christmas and New Year. Chris.

Merrry Christmas Micky, im getting the FL keys 61 midi board for Christmas and a new mic but i'm unsure on the mic, maybe a Shure but i like the T Bone too, thanks for the check out

Hello Micky !! I am glad you like it ! Thank you very much for stopping by and comment !! Fortunately, I haven't experienced this feeling yet, but... who knows what fate has in store for us !! I wish you a happy holiday ! Cheerssssssssssssssss !!

Haha!

Ah Micky! Thank for stopping by. You know beyond a shadow of a doubt, You're a well respected SOUND MASTER! But I would like to dialogue with you on your critique.
The section with the strings got added right around the last time we chatted on your track. And I well know your fondness of the preverbal DISCO STRINGS LOL! Simply put, I figured that move would hit you. So I'm dedicating that section to you!
Peace,
Mark
