for a non cart-before-the-horse answer: mix those bits louder than the rest of the elements. sometimes it really is just that easy. +2 Gain staging is so important. Make sure there's headroom in your mix so that if you want to push something louder you can without clipping. If something is clipping...

Re: Processing Snares

- Layer.

A Bronnet

Was feeling inspired and wrote something: A Bronnet I think I'd like to try and be a bro. I'd wear a muscle shirt and have tattoos of tribal writings on my arm for show. At night I'd just kick back and guzzle booze. My choice of music would be EDM, specifically american dubstep. At raves I'd ingest ...

Re: The Sampling // Copyright // Legal thread

The majors and larger artists have teams of people who clear samples. Publishing can be a nightmare. Unknowns can fly under the radar basically unscathed until something blows up (READ: Baauer). But even then, the rights holders are well within their rights to demand royalties and payment on any rev...

But, I do think your music needs to sound just. People are going to notice, whether they know music or not—if you ...

Re: The Jazz Thread.

Nice one for the recommendations chaps. Wes M was one that I forgot I knew from my sample digging days, so nice to get to listen to him again. :W: The ultimate Wes album is probably "Smokin' at the Half Note" Maybe the most badass guitar solo ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXqSKh6HL...
