[reeceado]

Thanks a lot

[reeceado]

Also any idea on the kick?

[JPBMW]

all makj songs sound the same. he just changes the lead around

Also any idea on the kick?

It's really the kick you need to focus in, that ravey sound is all over sylenth1 / nexus.

Yeah the kick is huge, any idea on how to get one similar? its more boomy than the big distorted kicks such as showtek, W&W etc Probably has a little distortion on it

Take a Big (3 Bars) Kick and put in one single chanel, apply regular distortion and bitcrush it, now apply a compressor with long attack and hard knee.

you have a real distorted kick, but it sounds too soft, now take the same kick put it another chanel, and send to bus 1 (0,0db) do the same with the distoerted kick and apply compression.

Thats All!

My tip for the kick is to add a huge kick with nice attack like LTWB kick. Then add the plugin Kramer tape from Waves, play with the presets or even use the INIT preset!

You can also use a top kick and low end with the plugin bassizm and after it add the Kramer tape plugin, and you are good to go. With this method you can choose what frequency the low end of the kick should be in so it can be in pitch with the rest of the track!

I bumb this thread because I want to learn how to make the actual lead. I've tried to get my synths to become that big and clean, but they just appear to be too weak.

What can I do to get the synth so big?

Distortion, reverb, compression, maybe layering. Sometimes it's just as simple as "weak" = low volume.

[borjadja]

Yes I have tried that, but it wont sound has fat and "full" as MAKJ's and tracks like that.

This is what I came up, as you can hear it aint nearly as good as the "Springen" synth. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Your kick is lacking the bass, your synth needs some heavy reverb sidechained to kick as well, i would use a send channel for this.

Good luck.

[borjadja]

But is that really everything? I'm not happy with the actuall sound either, feels like it is too weak..

[fuarkbeats]

Bumping for this synth

[Davias]

add a multiband compressor to fatten the synth I would say
