Hard #2

By Tomatron.Jones on April 7, 2024 4:59 am

Another 'Hard' / Industrial track inspired by Noizinksi and the like. Again, the focus on just very hard hitting kicks, bass tone, textures, and automation rather than typical focus on melodic or harmonic ideas. I found and heavily manipulated some 'wub' samples, also a few the Helm synth plugin SFX presets. So lots of sample manipulation, risers, hype production tricks, etc. It's fun doing these industrial synth tracks, very outside my wheelhouse but fun!

Tools:
* Ableton's bass instrument + arpeggiator
* Helm synth plugin for pads, SFX, and bass
* Samples from Splice - kick, snares, risers, wubs - all mangled and manipulated
* Ample use of Transit plugin, Trackspacer
* Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering

Total Time: 4.5 hours

The textures and wubs feel great, the snares also stand out to me but I can't articulate what you did to them lol.

Thank you! Actually the snares are minimally processed, I just really liked the sample as I found it!
