Mala - tips and tricks

atmosphere is in omnisphere
trillian is unique
the intricate bass shit is worth it alone

if you lowpass his track at 100 hz it still peaks at like -2 db. i think alot of it has to do with how its mixed. the bass takes up the majority of the dynamic range, and appears to be a pure sine

deadly: how do you think trillian would fare for midrange?

Would you say he side chains his kicks or just has bare sub down there ... this is a very helpful observation btw

every time

Anyone got any tips on how to go about making this kind of snare?

Obviously theres some pitch shifting and maybe some layering slightly out of time to get the flam effect, but there's just something about it that I can't quite put my finger on that's just so satisfyingly crunchy and oozing with character that I hear in a lot of Mala/Digital Mystikz snares, and very few other artists seem to use it.

It's got some reverb. Maybe a transient shaper? And see how you EQ it.

EDIT: It might have a compressor after the reverb.

[antipode]

think its just layered/pitched, with a reverb with a long attack and short delay
and chorus

and varying degrees of delay. fuck I love dmz snares. all about the subtle automation

sample selection is key obviously


ps just got my plate of this back off someone thats had it for years.

mixed into I wait is incredible.
