A.K.A. Abandoned No. 7

It's sad how much I feel my skills are declining. I can't seem to create anything unique or interesting lately.

Also, I couldn't boost the volume any more because Audiotool still clips somehow even with the limter on for this track. I think I may wait until Next - whenever that may be - to make more stuff.

  • well im kind of late, but the clipping you're hearing is the distortion bug from the slopes you're using on the master. basically it soft-clips everything going through it, it's dumb but there's no way around it other than just turning down before it and boosting again after

    • lol yeah it's an annoying bug for sure

    • Ah, well at least I know what's causing it. And here I thought giving myself more headroom would cause less clipping xD

  • This is really gud tho :D <3

  • 1:00 i wouldnt lowpass the kick so much. or if the kick is already lowpassed, add another one with more higher frequencies, but not too high. If I were to play this on a regular phone speaker, i would hear sidechain, but i wouldnt hear a kick

  • wen u hav caps lock on

  • Great lead!

  • me neither... im stuck right now trying to create something ;-;

  • neat little mini-atmosphere, definitely would have benefited from a bigger sound.

    make sure you're always making new stuff & trying new things (i know it's hard). keep listening to new sources of inspiration. i suggest bonobo ;D

    • Thanks @opaqity . I guess I need to find a balance between my roots and new artists... I'll check out bonobo later for sure :)

  • Don't get so down on yourself, man. We all go through writer's block or feel that we're in a rut. One thing that seems help me snap out of it when I feel I've lost my way it is going back and listening to old inspirations. Almost always gets me going again. Btw, That lead pad is fantastic!

    • not only that, but you need to be listening to new stuff too. perhaps even more important :)

    • That's a great idea. I should go back through some of the stuff I used to listen to :)

  • this synth reminds me of a track which I cant find anymore..somehow half life and gary`s mod related, so good!! :)

  • You know how to push my buttons :D

  • this is pretty good :D

  • i absolutely adore this

  • Thanks for the kind words, you guys.

  • Man this is amazing. Please continue to make inspiring tracks like this one, your sound design is already great

  • i find that the more you worry about mixing, the worse it gets

    just go with the flow and dw abt it, it'll sort itself out
