It`s not a multiband sidechain on Dragonfire. It is literally like Spectre, but instead of driving into saturation, you are driving into compression, although it does also saturate. I'm demo-ing it now, I didn't see that the compression action was multiband, I was thought it was just pre/post empha...

Classic Hood sound :D Kick has too little lowend, especially since there's no bassline. The high midrange on the kick feels a bit "plastic" and overcooked. The hihat is nice and snappy but the transient on a it is too much compared to the rest of the mix, which is quite soft. The open 909 hat feels ...

Dynamics feel a bit overly crunched / flat. Especially the lowend. Spectral dynamics feel a bit whacky .. like, the low end, midrnage and toprange all kinda do their thing but aren't really cooperating properly. I think it's mostly because the click on the kick is really dominating the mix in a bad ...

IMO easiest way to do this kind of thing (I think Lag pointed this out somewhere) is to program a super low pure sine wave pattern (for example a 4/4 kick pattern), send it to the channel or bus you want to crunch and then remove it with a highpass afterwards. Takes much less setup and you get more ...

https://www.toneprojects.com/kelvin-tone-shaper.html Cool saturation plugin. Variety of models that sound pretty dynamic / program dependent to me. They can go from super subtle to very distorted. Two stages and a very flexible compensated pre/post emphasis EQ allows for a pretty wide variety of ton...

More expensive but does much more.

New Bitwig update seems great.

Kinda wish I didn`t upgrade ableton now.
I think I`m going to promise myself to switch to bitwig at the end of the year.

What Bitwig features make you want to switch?

I don't think "boomy" is the right word but the lowend feels a touch definitionless.

I pretty much exclusively am using Dragonfire by Denise Audio. In production and mastering. It's not exactly multiband, it's like some lovechild of Pro-audio dynamic spectrum mapper, Spectre saturation, an EQ and a compressor. The push pull feature is like a continuous smooth transitional version o...

What do you use for multiband? There's like a million of 'em

I think one important thing to note is that resonances that sound bad in isolation might not necessarily sound bad in the context of the mix. They often add character and distinctiveness to a sound. Most of the time when I'm EQing out resonances, I will find myself dialing the EQ back later on or ju...

Haha, I have that Baffled track on vinyl. I think Ben UFO used to cane it around like 20122-2013?

Bitwig is kinda blowing my mind here It feels like so many minor annoyances I had with Ableton are sorted here. You can save an instrument plugin preset WITH effect plugins included - no need to group into a chain. You can also make this the "default" preset, so if you wanted to have for example a ...

Im not familiar with this process but after seeing this post I had a quick look on YouTube and came across this. UWGne3ZK7nc The expanse 3d plugin is nice. I also liked the sound of upstereo as its more extreme. I can imagine having fun modulating the controls and using it as it wasn't intended. Ye...

Just saying, but maybe try some software modular first to see if you like it? Softube Modular is really nice. It doesn't have a TON of modules but the modelling is crazy good. Does pretty dang good audio rate chaos and stuff. It scratches the itch for me. Also, from my personal experience so far, ir...

Second track is definitely re-sampled hammond. First might be FM, I think but also resampled for sure.

The original 90s stuff was often sampled from other records, even US garage records.

Extremely precisely and firmly controlled dynamics in key areas with little noticeable effect to transients and way less noticeable change than you would logically expect in medium to long transients and "punch". It means the cut is way more controlled in the lows without them sounding pinned to th...
