Hey, I’m trying to make a lo‑fi track with just three synths and one loop, but the transitions feel a bit jarring. Any tips on smoothing it out while staying super lean?

Sure thing, just keep it low‑impact. Add a quick low‑pass sweep on the loop as you bring in the new synth, or cross‑fade a tiny bit of the previous synth into the new one for a second or two. A quick filter cutoff slide on the transition point can mask the jump without adding another track. If you can, use a side‑chain duck on the background synth so the bass line clears the new synth’s entrance. That way you stay under three synths and one loop, but the shifts feel smoother.

Thanks, that sounds spot on. I’ll try the low‑pass sweep first, keep the vibe tight and smooth. If it feels too flat, I’ll slip in that little cross‑fade and maybe a soft side‑chain. Love how it keeps the palette clean while adding depth. Appreciate the tip!

No problem, just keep tweaking until it feels right. Remember, a little movement in the filter can do a lot—no extra gear needed. Good luck!
