@Rich Rath I think what would really help is if you had a more normal, natural hi hat sound as the source file. This example starts off sounding bad, in my view. They all sound oddly metallic and there's no real transient definition.

@Rich Rath ...perhaps even a selection of raw classic hi hat samples would be the ideal test. Could you use the bundled hats out of Serum 2, for example?
I'm an idiot 😑 (re: kick design)
There's ANOTHER trick I'd been doing for years before Serum came out that Serum couldn't do that apparently now Serum 2 can do. I realised during editing last night's video. We can streamline the whole pitch contour design A LOT now. Just wish I'd realised before yesterday's session! 😅 Watch this space.............

Resonance Risk
Listening to member tracks sent to me recently, I realise I need to make this point clear. When it comes to the business of de-resonating sounds, LOW frequency resonances tend to pose a LOW risk, and HIGH frequency sounds tend to pose a HIGH risk. That's NOT to say there's absolutely no place for high frequency resonance whatsoever (tambourines, anyone?). Rather, high frequency resonances must be handled with extra care and attention. That's also NOT to say that all low frequency resonance is automatically fine, just that it's relatively less likely to cause real problems. Excessive hi hat, shaker, or ride/crash cymbal resonance in particular seriously give me the ick. Potentially the same issue for the high frequency area on a snare, clap, or even a kick top. P.S. Low frequency resonance is essential/unavoidable for virtually all music, whereas high frequency resonance could, in some cases, potentially be omitted entirely.

@George Hughes honestly, I'm sceptical the bass was the main factor. I'm sure it played a role, but surely it couldn't have been the sole cause. 🤔

@Lilith S ...you know... I'll say this... Tambourines need high frequency resonance. I've tried flattening out their frequency spikes many times and had very little (not none, but little) success. However, an indication that the principle still holds is that I find tambourines can easily ruin a mix if they're too loud or too sustained (or both💀). As a very general rule of thumb, I'm looking to mix tambourines as quietly as I can get them (where they're not too quiet), with as little sustain as possible (where they're not too... un-sustained). Also, I have a simple resonance-minimising production trick specifically for tambourines that I need to demo on a Thursday call at some point. 😎
RhythmEcho livestream demo+q&A Thursday and again Sunday
Hi I’ll be doing a YouTube livestream on RhythmEcho an hour before Owen goes on if anyone is interested. This will be feature complete v1 but still working with an artist on layout and graphics. I’ll focus mostly on production rather than performance and show you that while it is obviously great for wild stuff it can also bring a mix together in ways other tools can’t. https://www.youtube.com/live/0atuAw9yS4Y?is=J0Kaz-vBLafpIqY0

@George S I downloaded the previous iteration from your message and I was gonna offer to go over it on the live call on Friday, but I didn't realise you weren't available. You wanna do that this coming Friday, perhaps?

@George S yeah it sounds better! You wanna chuck me some stems over so I can give detailed direction?
