So, say I make a Dubstep Bass, nice and loud, and after it plays I get this weird humming feedback, much like a sound you'd hear from a faulty wiring. Is there a way to fix this?
The odds are that the issue is in your hardware (monitor speakers/headphones). I'm using studio grade headphones and don't get that issue when listening to what you posted below.
In which case, lowering the release of the amplitude envelope would likely have had the same effect as gating it. One reduces the release pre-effect chain, the other cuts it off post-effect chain.
Then the distortion is your issue..you've over-distorted something. This isn't always bad though, you can do a lot to a heavily distorted sound so that it once again sounds nice.
Does it lessen if you lower the amount of distortion applied?
Lower the release time on the amplitude envelope of whichever synth you're using too (but not too far or you are likely to get a clipped "click" sound).
I'm using a Heisen with some waveshapers, exciters, and some other stuff. Nothing like distortions. You can check it out on this track
DedheD tries sound design!
and you can see exactly what I'm working with.
