thanks alot for advice!Kraku wrote:The latter. If you can come up with good sounds to begin with, then you probably don't need much extra processing to get the fat sound. Mixing is also VERY big part of getting the fat/big sound, since you can either totally destroy the very good source material you might already have, or you can get a nice balance between all the sounds & frequencies which might result into a very tasty mix.bjarnenorheim wrote:You want to know my production techniques to advice me or youre saying its all about production techniques?Kraku wrote:Your production techniques.
You have to learn your tools and develop your ear and techniques for mixing and sound design. There are some "fatness-vsts/hw-boxes" out there, but if you just tweak away blindly with those, you'll most probably end up destroying the whole mix by overdoing the effect/processing.
My advice is that spend as much time as you possibly can learning sound design and then the other half (which wasn't included in that "as much time...") learning mixing. Then you'll realize how much you can do with just a couple of synth, compressor, EQ, and maybe two basic effect. Many times it's how you use the tools (mix & match & layer & etc --> production techniques).
I tink i have a lot of experience in what youre describing, and im not after some tubecompressor because i actually need it, but im selling all my hardware this days and i want to invest some of that momey in some equipment that will hold its value ( good ol comps and eqs does so i think) so i asked for advice:)
