whatever compressed to hell will work, imo :) and dont forget to add distortion. lot of distortion.
im getting the compression thing down now, i dont wanna over compress because it just sounds crap.
i just need to put more in my loop, im messing with kicks, but i just cant get it together....
AGH!
Take any collection of sounds and or loops.
Bit crush/fuzz/distort/ringmod and sidechain to kick.
Have a clean kick for punch, some less distorted hats.
Voila, instant schranze.
Shouldn`t take more than 1hour start to finish

so far to no avail.
It`s not a dig, just a plain fact.
You don`t have a huge amount of room to play around within the compressed and distorted environment of schranze
ah right, im trying to go about it in a more dare i say 'artistic' way. it is well and truley doing my twat in.
Well the problem with schranze is that you are immediately trapped into the oompah hard house rythm, it`s the nature of schranze. So your options are really closed down musically, rythmically, experimentally.
However, if you are just making hard, uptempo techno, you have many more options
When did it get an E on the end?!
i think where im falling down is immediately thinking of my kicks and how to distort them right from the get go. re think time.Quote:

Most good schranzzzeeeyykkk has a distorted low end loop, with a clean but heavy kick subtley mixed over for punch.
Try doing that.
Yeah IMO schranz has fairly clean kicks, with a quite a lot of top end wack, it needs a sharp, ''thwacky'' attack to it to cut through the crunchy shit going on else where.
I love using emotive terms to describe music, it's so ****ing impossible to accurately say what you mean!
will do cheers dude!Quote:

Trying to get that typical schranz driving sound......ye know the off beat (were the high hat would be) type extended shaker sound or extended open hi hat type sound.....hope ye get what im trying to explain....
its totally typical with every schranz track going.....
in drumazon a put the snare sound on the ofbeet possition (were hi hat would be) a put the "tone" and "snappy" up full and took the "tune depth" and "decay" fully off and tht kinda got me the sound a was looking for but it needs to be much smoother and nicer.....
any takers on this .......
cheers
come on guys help us oot - its prob simple as fcuk but am not totally sure - a know most of yous would rather ride yer granny than dj/produce/listen to schranz but any help would be appreciated!! :D
Ive found with schranz it tends to have a boost on the low end harmonics of the kick and bass. Get your kick and bass going, then take an EQ and put a high pass with a load of resonance on it and sweep the low end of the kick. You should find a sweet spot. Tweak the resonance down to a resonable level until you still have the roll, but without taking over the whole mix.
cheers guys! i forgot about this thread! from what i have listened to and what you guys have told me, it is all about what is happening after the initial kick. its interesting what you can do.
cheers man - so is this for the rolling "whooshing/shaking" sound aye??Quote:

I would work on layering the drum loops up and up. the levels of the drum samples are important . . .
Im only learning myself, this what i have learned,
Have you tried to make that clanky schranz like kaos and s ewe

the best example tht a could find
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/...ighlight=seema
the first seema tune - ye know the "swooshing" sound which is were the high hat would be......hope tht helps

aye mate im into tht clanky/jakd up type shit - if ye like them check out davoodi - swagger jacker - n stuff by marco remus n mahatma etc - aww banging
Sounds like distorted hats and cymbals sidechained to the kick to make it pump.Quote:

thanks mate!!!
I love the older mahatma/remus (nerven rec.) in general stuff. Shuffle/swing plays a role here.Quote:

old thread I know... but add some shakers and white noise into the mix..... It can sound good to send all your drums to a drum buss, and send all the drums to another buss with some bit crushing and compression happening. EQ to taste. Then you want to mix the compressed/crushed into the dry sounds - kinda a hard techno new york compression :D
