    How do you get your high end sounds to sound so close to the front of the mix like that? I always run into a clipping issue when trying to make things loud

      My master chain is pretty simple. I just had some final EQing, some multiband compression to create a few dBs of headroom and a waveshaper. I like using the waveshaper as a hard ceiling limiter. So in a way, I am inducing clipping on the transient peaks, but in a way that makes them brighter in the mix.

      This project is remixable, so feel free to take a look around if you like.

      Grouping my high end sounds together also helps me hear how they work together. My drums channel is for high frequency sound with transients, things like claps, snares, and percs. My synths channel has higher frequency sounds that are more sustained, like my arps and 303.

    This has potential to sound really good imo. Looking for honest criticism from people. Especially those who know techno well

      Ok. Maybe I need sleep too. I will listen tomorrow after getting shut eye

      So maybe adding more percs and hard panning them. Also, the pad is mono. Maybe it should be more wider and leave room in center for 303 and arps

      Thanks! I think you're on the money.

      My bass is going to be mono, and quite loud (which i want) So i need to make my highs really count. I think panning more things instead of just using a ping pong delay.

      The ping pong delay gets washed out in the drop and the track loses stereo info, because the wet delay signal is like -18 db. If things were hard panned it would still sound stereo with a fuller mix. I think that super saw takes up a lot of treble space and sounds very narrow.
