This.
I always send delays to bigger rooms than I'm sending the dry track to. It adds a really nice extra layer to the image.

bad idea
manually glitch things
or if you use Dblue just use it lightly

erratech wrote:Modulating comb filters on white noise can make cool sweeps and risers. Its all about light and darkness, contrast. Be prepared for disappointment. There is no magic plugin, find things you like and learn them inside out. Once youve done that think about new plugs. Learning things by yourself is really underrated, how can you expect to find your own sound if all you do is emulate tutorials?

There is no right and wrong, but stick a limiter on your channel to stop you destroying your ears anyway. Save as a new file constantly, back up consistantly. Be prepared to lose the best thing you have written multiple times regardless. Cut the lows on reverb and delay sends. Perfect is boring, subtle differences will make things stay interesting. People on the internet have no credentials, take what anyone says with a grain of salt. Take what I say with several. Learn what you hate and dont do that.

you HAVE TO get out of thinking about it like a number. IME, every drum hit is going to have a "sister resonant frequency", if you will. a pitch at which a doubled version of itself will sound great underneath. its never the same. I STRONGLY IMPLORE YOU TO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE NUMBER. pitch it up or down with the knob, and close your eyes. seriously. this is how i do it. it might be 2 semi-tones. it might be 8.

it sounds dumb, but im being serious here folks: the arguably most important studio technique EVER CREATED IS TO CLOSE YOUR EYES. seriously. cant stress this enough. across the board, this is a crucial discipline to have at your disposal.

I think epoch was more curious as to your inclusion of a limiter, that's all
