Nightlover & Update
Hey Update, I’ve been tinkering with a new synth patch that flips the bass line on its head, but the mix feels a bit raw. Got any sharp eyes to spot the little glitches?
Sure thing, let’s clean that up. First, the reverb is sitting too close to the kick – lift it a couple of dB to give that boom some room. The high‑end of the synth is clipping when you hit the 1:1.2 ratio, roll it back a notch and slap a subtle saturation on the side chain. Also, the side‑chain envelope feels like it’s starting 20ms early; shift it back so the kick has a full punch before the synth swoops. Once those glitches are gone, you’ll hear that bass actually *support* the track, not just *scrape* it. Let me know if you need a second set of eyes on the EQ curves.
Thanks for the quick fixes, that reverb lift already makes the kick feel more alive. I’ll drop the synth high‑end back and slap the saturation you suggested, then tweak that envelope shift. Once I’ve got a fresh mix, I’ll ping you the file so you can double‑check the EQ curves. Appreciate the help—always good to get that extra set of ears before the next drop.
Sounds solid—just keep a close eye on the mid‑range. If it starts to feel thin after you drop the highs, pad it with a gentle boost around 600–800 Hz before you lock in the drop. Keep me posted.
Got it, I’ll keep the mids snug and make that subtle 600‑800 boost a safety net before the drop. I’ll ping you once I’ve laid the track down. Catch you soon.
