fl studio question

[rinseballs21]

ok, so i have been producing for about a year now


my question may sound basic to some, but anyways



HOW DO YOU GET BASS SOUNDS AND SYNTH MELODIES TO LAYER AND PLAY AT THE SAME TIME OVER ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT ONE OF THE SOUNDS GETTING DROWNED OVER BY THE OTHER?

[Phigure]

No need to yell.

Just try to have each instrument reside in it's own range of frequencies as much as possible...

Using eq's and mixing each instrument at the right level. If I was sober and at home I'd tell you to pm me and send me a project file so i could help you more and point you in the right direction. But sadly i'm drunk and not at home. Hopefully somebody else can help you on this one bro, good luck. In the meantime, try to use your ears.

[Basic A]

When you use layers, if you route each instrument to a seperate mixer track, you can eq and level from there?

Dont scream.

Three dicks, three holes, you do the math.

what A said

use hi and lo pass filters. lo pass on the bass, and a high pass on the synth. depending on the sounds you're using 400hz might be a good separating point. lower if we're talking sub.

But yeah you want to use Eq/Filtering to give everything its own space. If it's still not working you need to make more space in your mix from the start.

[Recessive Trait]

my suspicion is that all three "layers" are on the same octave, as often seems to be the case with beginner dubstep. gonna take a whole lotta eqing to sort that out. try them on different octaves.

ducking with peak controller


dughh!

so its almost like the sounds are breathing


but yeah, assign to sep mixer track

and then EQ from there

Sub bass 30Hz Brickwall @ 100Hz . Lfo lead 150Hz brickwall @ 20k hz. Then scan the frequencies within their respective linear phase EQ vst and notch any whistling/howling you hear when youre scanning.

if you dont have a linear phase eq vst yet, get one. best one i use is from Wave Arts called trackplug 5 and PSP Neon HR.

when I say scanning , you set a marker for parametric then set the gain to 14db and the Q rate at its near highest, then just move across the frenquency ranges.

How do you brickwall in FL Studio? The closest I can manage is using the EQ and dropping off the lowest frequencies as shaply as possible.

[tripaddict]

and dont over compress this will make your mix sound muddy

[Depone]

I think people are also missing the composition side. if you have too many things happening at one time, the mix WILL sound cluttered and shit, and no EQ's going to fix that. Get your composition straight before you turn to EQ or dynamic changes.

Get a vst effect called Wave Arts TrackPlug5 .If you can, pick up the Wave Arts bundle instead.

[Basic A]

Brickwall is a fancy word for filter right?

Fruity Filter...

Waves R6 FTW. Insane cutoff.

Waves is awesome. I use the REQ2 and the L2

spit roast, girl on girl and wank.


but yeah eq, and write parts where they don't clash in the first place.
