I understand that a DAW can greatly outperform anything hardware can do, but I’m wondering if any of you still use some type of hardware in your setup?

Digitakt 2 is a common groovebox I’ve seen be used on YouTube, but curious if any of you use any other type of hardware?

in my home with loops like prodigy who can help me with very rare creative loops 90s 80s ?

How do you guys get your basses (well everything really) to sound upfront in the mix with clarity and separation?

TIA

Need some help!

I'm struggling with getting my sub/low mids to sound huge without overpowering everything. Just can't get to the same power and punch as my reference tracks.

What's the secret here?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is a tutorial video i made using FLStudio & BHK-Samples Premium Drumz II https://youtu.be/tQUM_eltjCs?feature=shared

Recently Iv became a big fan of bakeys (uk garage dj)'s production and have been trying to make my own, from seeing his style even tho he makes garage a lot of his basses are clearly inspired and taken from drum and bass. I was looking to see if you guys would have any suggestions for good sample packs or some really good preset packs for synths like serum for some good basses. As a reference heres one of bakeys remix's that im a big fan of, mainly stuff like the growel bass and the fat 808's and how clean they sound. Thank you so much!

any tips you got for me? i feel like even if i make them super tight they dont fit in the track. maybe even a good sample pack for liquid stuff?

Yes people,

I've had a pair of Mackie MR824s for a couple of years. They sound great but the bass is reeeeally loud on them, even when at low gain. It just thumps. Which isn't a bad thing for now... I'm currently living in a detached bungalow so neighbors aren't a problem - I can get away with the resonant bass sounds.

BUT I am soon to be moving into a flat.. so I can't see me keeping these for too long.

Can someone recommend me some different monitors that don't have such a low bass response? Budget would be around £500 (similar to the Mackies)
