theres a noise layer on the bass that has a little too much high end, the kick could hit a bit harder to match the sidechain, maybe add some neat fills idk, overall pretty nice
I'll add 2db to the kick, and yeah I need to look into fills 😭 I couldn't find any fills that matched the vibe as well as the vabz one. Thanks for the criticism, I'll get to fixing this when I can :)
Ehhh, I don't really know. The bass is 4 layers, 3 synths, and one sample. I could add slides to the synth basses, but I don't know how to do 808 slides on sample 808s.
Top end is a little washed out across the board - I think you have a few synth sounds that are in the same frequency band, and then you've sunk them all in reverb so they just sort of swim around and merge a bit. Maybe bump one of the synths up or down an octave to spread them out a little, pan one off to the right (to counter balance against the hat on the left - a nice touch).
I didn't see this...but yeah...put the reverb on an aux send and choose how much of each specific instrument goes through it..otherwise you're just going to get this blurry sound.
