Cleaning up rhythms

「Rhythms」 are an INCREDIBLY important part of a song.

How can I make my rhythms sound better?
This will greatly determine the quality of a song.

When the rhythms feel lacking, layering with sampled sounds is a great technique,
but you must be careful to 「keep the low end clean」.

  • Before application
  • After application

We will take a look at the ways you can edit like above.

Sound design

Layering rhythms

2トラックのリズム

When making productions,
you may end up layering more than 2 layers of loop materials.

When doing so, the low end gets cluttered,
ending up in a situation where you are「unable to add in bass」.

Cutting EQ in sub-rhythms

サブリズムのEQ

Apply EQ to your 「sub-rhythms」,
and add big cuts to the low end.

This allows you to make space for the「main rhythm」,
while still keeping both materials.
