Wookiee 1,749 Posted January 19 I do love a a bit of cool Electric Piano, that kick sure punches through. The whole vibe of this is very very very cool @Michael Fogarty. One little observation I noticed on my Events there is s little bit of bass hang/bloom on some of the sparse passages, probably inaudible on many systems..

One little observation I noticed on my Events there is s little bit of bass hang/bloom on some of the sparse passages, probably inaudible on many systems.. hello Wookiee. Bass hang/bloom. I need an explanation for that if you don’t mind. I do mix with multiple sets of speakers and a sub. Is it possible the “hang/bloom” is intentional or is it annoying? Is it an occasional hit, or an overall feeling of too many bass frequencies? I have definitely been guilty of that. There are different layers of booms and basses, (some arpeggiated, some subsonic) aimed at people with big systems. But I miss things. The kick is from an MODX7 (chill kit). It is actually a preset loop. Edited January 20 by Michael Fogarty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 1,005 Posted January 21 One of those videos where the music perfectly matches what you're seeing. Great work! Had to look up "sakura." Cherry blossoms, which show up at the end. -Bjorn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amicus717 389 Posted January 22 Great. Really liked it - smooth, wintery, a very relaxing listen. Also, the imagery is great. Looks like beautiful countryside where you live. Rob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhonoBrainer 1,819 Posted January 23 What's not to like about this??? Sweet piano chords, nice unique pattern in the arrangement. You live in a beautiful area! Bonus! Maybe when the drum kit comes on, it might have a bit more reverb on, to match up with the chill piano? Just a thought, might be worth the experiment. It's the composition that sells it, very nice composing! cheers, -Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garybrun 875 Posted January 23 We all paint very different pictures.. I hear what Wookie hears regarding bass, I'm listening on Focal Trios with no sub... when I add the sub I can really hear it.,, maybe a little too much? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the whole song got started because I like the loop. If I am to release it with real drums I will do what you said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that the overall bass or just the sub sonic hits? Much appreciated. I have a tendency to overdo on warm tones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the whole song got started because I like the loop. If I am to release it with real drums I will do what you said. That's something I have experienced as well. A drum loop kicks it all off. I have the Phil Gould drum loops that often get an impeccable groove going. As for the reverb idea, a lot of reverbs have a post verb eq where you can dial out any reverb returns below a certain frequency, so you can only hear verb effects above say 500hz, leaving the kick essentially unverbed I'm betting you prolly knew that, but it took me a while to grok how useful that feature was. Great tune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
