What do you guys do to make your tracks energetic and sexy?

For example, I know a producer (one half of "Tritonal") who uses a hardware called "liquid mix" or something that gives his tracks more warmth (sort of like analog).

Thanks

Tune my percussion, even the kick drum, to have their main frequency somewhere on the harmonic series of the root bass note.

I find that using the same sample and using it to create all the sounds in a track really helps me focus on writing something great. It has to do with the timbre of all the sounds being somewhat related because they are from the same source sound, yet distinguishable because of all the mangling and sound design I carry out on each copy of the sound.

I guess this is at least tangentially similar to what COSM is talking about.

Close the thread now.

sexy women and cocaine.

Practice.

pounding tight drums, and bass lines that beat up your granny for there next hit of meth...

Writing a new song when the magic happening in your head translates to a large degree as magic in your DAW.

Liquid Mix by Focusrite is a series of vintage emulation compressors and EQs with a hardware DSP unit, but which can also be adjusted in software - it's pretty cool, but you can achieve excellent results with other gear costing less too.

wtf is with the plugging? hahah

How do you figure?

We sacrifice virgin women to satan. The more we sacrifice the sexier and more energetic our music gets.
