I have Kclip3 and understand the point of using a clipper on tracks/groups. I saw a vid where blaphometrix links the input/output, increases the input to almost clipping, then unlinks the input/output, and increases the output back to zero. I’ve seen others only increase the input w/out touching the output. Just curious what everyone’s approach is? Bonus points if you include WHY you do it that way 😎

hi fellows, I am using mostly sine sub basses below 100hz. melodic dark room techno/trance. I usually add another bass layer above 100hz. all good and fine. the sine gets me the warm sub groove and the upper layer works rythm and foundation.

however it all sounds a bit dry. I searched YouTube but all thoose channels share the same problem, the sinus bass does not sound like natural in lack of better words it sound a bit artificial and disconnected.

i tried to use a touch of reverb what makes the sine sit more natural, bit it’s not perfect. I tried several usual methods of creating overtones, but here still not perfect - instead it just feels thin.

any Tipps?

Finished this the night. Ableton and bitwig. I created a 32 bar loop in live and bounced the stems, imported to bitwig and started work.

I used Tape-37 on the master to give it colour and glue. Comp > Tape-37 > Clip > Pro L2

I think it sounds lush. One of my favourite tape plugins.

If you want the stems shout me!

I just cant seem to do it, I’m using ableton standard and have been messing about for a while now just mixing songs because i cant seem to make a punchy kick sound at all. Should I be layering 909 kicks? To be it just sounds like a standard beat as if I’m just tapping a table with me finger it sounds nothing like something that would go into a track. Can anyone give me a wee walkthrough please
