I never liked their mixes anyway, i guess this explains it

First of all, you have to be careful with ohmicide. Those distortion knobs go up to +60dB... Thats an insane amount and will make everything sound like shit. Try pulling back the knobs a little to make it lighter.


Second you can always try layering with another wave form that has more harmonic ...

If your using Ableton use the Frequency Shifter instead of repitching.

It will maintain the character of the kick better

But I don't repitch my kicks ever. I just find/make kicks that already hit at the frequency I want.

yeah, this sounds like korn's stupid way of explain side-chaining your kick and bass so the bass ducks for a few ms... leaving plenty of headroom for the kick to really snap.

or, as i do.

set the ENV on your sub bass to take a few ms to kick in, that way it's at 0 db when the kick hits, but very ...

Yea now I guess I see what you guys mean with it being house. I just figured it wasn't because of the slower tempo and it has the kick-snare-kick-snare as opposed to 4-on-the-floor

I'd particularly like comments/feedback on my sound design.

Heres a new track I've just released.

I'm not sure what this genre is, but its kinda like Skrillex Reptile.

I focused on having a big vocal bass and hard hitting drums.

Soundcloud

I've been working on a "Moohmbacore" type sound.

It's basically the same genre as whatever "Skrillex - Reptile Theme" is.

I experimented with a lot of synthesis techniques I've never used before. And I'd like to know what you guys think.
