playing around with Abstractor. Yes, a synthmaker synth.
probably the best one i've played. it makes some weird arps.

this is version 3. slightly less trebly arps, snare panning fixed, added a little melodic epiano line, lower bass volume and limiting.

Bass - Charlatan

Strong sound design. That arp is cool but very trebly. Very solid bass. Love the choirs. Lots of interesting details. Great mix (except for that hard panned snare :wink:).

Nice work. :tu:

yeah, i wanted the arp to cut through in the mix, especially over the dense Charlatan bass! but i guess i overdid the highpass filt on it. oops. and that hard panned snare is actually a open high hat on RMiV! i pitched it pretty low with a fairly long decay. it does get triggered like its a snare, though.... doh!
thanks for the valuable feedback always Frantz :D

Big improvement. :tu:

If you do develop this one further, you might consider lowering the bass a bit and going easier on the brickwall limiter/compressor on the master bus.

arrghhh! i just compared the levels on v1 to v2 and the limiter is indeed pushed harder. ok, i cut bass by about 2db... third times the charm ;)

i feel like blue oyster cult working with the legendary producer "Bruce Dickinson"
if Frantz says it needs more cowbell, then it probably does!

to mess with Frantz, but decided against it at the last minute. haha

Some great sounds on here. I really like the way the sound fills out when the M1 pads enter the fray. I may give Abstractor a quick spin now.

Good work :)
