Wookiee Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 I quite like this, though I have to ask is there any low bass instrumentation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Smithe Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Nicely done Larry, very cool synth textures. Love the interplay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very much low bass. The sequencer sections contain the only true low bass (around 50Hz). There's also an SI Bass part that I had to add an extra bus set with higher kHz eq to get the melody through the mass of sound that surrounds it. On my reference speakers the low bass is adequate but, of course, to feel the real power of this piece I use a bass boost on whatever system I'm listening on. It's not mixed for cell phone speakers 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Edited December 13 by Larry T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this little tune sorted itself a lot quicker than usual. The ideas I tried for interplay mostly worked quickly rather than spending hours or days searching.  The textures are a mix of making a bus from a bus and re-eq'ing the new bus to get as much clarity and texture as I could 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Edited December 12 by Larry T.

Bajan Blue Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Hi Larry Like this - those synths sound great - agree with Wookie, could do with a little bit more bass in there Apart from that, enjoyed this Nigel  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much. I was saving a bass part for last but when the song got to this stage I decided it might clutter/muddy the sound too much, but now I may revisit the piece and see if I can write some bass parts that can possibly improve the listening experience. Cheers.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted Sunday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:53 PM Nice piece. I like all the rhythms of the drums and other parts, how they work together. Sounds like the Raven is still trying to fly and getting too tired so resting here and there. Would be interesting to see how it is if you do add bass parts, I like what you have in the song but more bass is always appealing to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:19 PM (edited) Just a quick reply to @Wookiee, @Bajan Blue and @treesha about the low end/bass; everything I tried just wasn't the right fit, so, looks like we're stuck with it as is, lol 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 Edited yesterday at 06:35 AM by Larry T.
