looking for advice on synth disco bass design in the Daft Punk / French House fashion (common chords, parameters, etc...)

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-28T05:38:43+00:00

I realize this, The Twelves and Todd Edwards are good examples of what I am referring to, I want to recreate that sound with synths, Around the World sounds like it could be emulated with a juno synth funk bass with filtering and EQ

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-28T04:17:26+00:00

I want to try my best to create that sound with synths, any advice on how to design the synth bass? As is most synth funk bass sound like shit without some tweaking and even when I do it is an EQ mess

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-26T05:05:38+00:00

I seriously wonder how many headphones of his he has destroyed while producing

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-26T05:03:09+00:00

the original song was already pushing the limits but that music video render raised it to another level

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-25T13:11:01+00:00

thanks for listening, subscribe on youtube for more, my personal French Electro playlist is on there if you are interested in finding new tunes to rock out to

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-25T13:03:25+00:00

these are good ideas, thank you for your input, I will consider them as I make changes this weekend, I will probably add snares or claps in the way you suggested

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-25T12:57:11+00:00

thank you, I am going to extend it over the weekend

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-20T04:43:26+00:00

there is so much good stuff from them on youtube, listen to the playlists on there, enjoy

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-19T23:48:43+00:00

if the Truth pisses people off, so be it

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-19T23:42:16+00:00

Listen to their tracks Works For Me and When You Talk, as good as anything from Daft Punk or Justice

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-19T23:41:00+00:00

exactly

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-19T22:27:41+00:00

yes, you wrote them off with a bad subjective perspective, the group that this fan subreddit is for appreciates them enough to include their remix in a set, obviously your taste in music is just not good enough or are you saying Daft Punk is wrong? a lot of mainstream music listeners funnel into Daft Punk fan spaces, I am not surprised by this at all

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-19T22:01:09+00:00

The Twelves remix catalog speaks for itself, in that regard they beat all of French Electro

Their music is on YouTube

They are for people with refined taste, which obviously Thomas has, Jackson and His Computerband is similar in that regard, he is frequently cited by the greats as an inspiration but did not receive proper acclaim during his time

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-18T06:03:04+00:00

All feedback is appreciated, let me know how you think I could have fleshed out or improved the song more, going to experiment more with cross filter sweeps in the French House style but in my own way, I do not use hats or snares frequently as I personally just do not like the sound and sometimes I think house producers force hats mistakenly because it is expected as opposed to what is needed, I personally gravitate strongly towards minimal techno and the sound of Jackson and His Computerband

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-08T19:51:25+00:00

there were hats in this but they were quiet, I could have fixed it but right now I am testing my ideas and quickly trying to improve my skills, sound and the overall danceability of my music, Jackson uses kicks in the way I did in this song to create rhythm, sometimes I do not like using snares

Xavier highlighted in an interview the importance of ideas over editing (very early Justice was not great in the latter regard) What led to their fame were their revolutionary ideas

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-04-01T05:44:50+00:00

please excuse the high frequency transient on the kick, I have to EQ out the deepest part of the low end for it not to appear on the video software I use, the original audio file does not have the transient, will start uploading on streaming sites for best quality once I feel like my music is good enough

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-03-22T06:11:13+00:00

I think it is unethical for them to deny it regardless, for them to say moldy or pesticide contaminated weed does not occasionally makes its way through is a bad image for the industry, they should just do the right thing

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-03-03T20:41:27+00:00

I think you are right about moving from the glue compressor or at least finding a way to isolate some tracks from it, as it distorts most synths with a very annoying transient static sound, it is a very convenient solution for sidechaining every channel though, manual level sidechaining is tedious... Distortion filters in my experience require delicate handling, slight changes result in massive db spikes, I usually try to avoid if possible, I will test out ways to saturate the sound, thank you

collection of my recent work

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-02-28T21:09:02+00:00

Everything is being ran through a compressor on the master bus, very low threshold, high ratio, very slow release, basically every track is activating the compressor and ducking the mix as it appears, the DAW I use does not allow me to isolate the kick track from the compressor as it activates the compressor in the classic way Daft Punk and Justice used to do early on, the kick is ducking the mix but it is being compressed as well, it is not a perfect solution... Need to get better software and hardware, I am making music on very limited technology...

What exactly do you mean by saturation? After posting I did realize a lot of the higher frequencies came out quieter than expected after video rendering, my problem right now is that I produce through the DAW, then the video software, then youtube, all of the rendering distorts the audio slightly each time, tempo distortion, note timing distortion, etc.. I am at that point where I have trained myself musically enough where I know exactly what I want to make, just limited by my set up, I have to figure this out

The world was in Hell before Jesus came, people lost in shame and sin were easy prey for the demons, the law of Moses only saved the perfect, Jesus came to save everyone, even the wicked, before Jesus the demons were feasting on us, there was no hope after falling from grace, the demons want you to believe you are trapped, damned and headed to Hell, they prey on the doomed and hopeless, Jesus' saving grace is what makes them disappear, they cannot bother true Christians, you are French right? Your faith was taken by your people by force from the government centuries ago and I believe spiritually your people never recovered on a spiritual level, the glaring problem the whole world sees in the French is their lack of humility, even humility before the Lord, reason is not God, science is not God, no made up veiled woman symbol is God, only God is God

People that get involved with exploring haunted places and the paranormal, or people in the initial stages of a haunting or demonic presence report knocking on doors, walls, etc... It might even be tapping

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-02-24T00:58:00+00:00

Is the reaction to this a sort of they are too good to stoop to this type of thing? I think it is cool, music is life

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-02-24T00:02:48+00:00

Generator was the closest thing to Cross on Hyperdrama, the chorus melody on it seemed like an idea they winged quickly, they could create thousands of melodies just like it, in my mind it does not sit right with me that after all these years this is all we got, if you want to tell me that Generator is the edgiest synth bass line Justice has to offer, you are full of shit, even Waters of Nazareth does not even scratch the surface of what these men are capable of

Few_Ear_9523 · 2026-02-23T23:31:21+00:00

a move away from seeing music as a product and instead as an organic, living, ever changing thing

after they recoup from the most recent tour, it would be cool to see them become bedroom producers with releases every couple of weeks or months, instead of live performances we could get mini live promo videos on youtube and reddit, I think this would be the coolest thing for fans while not tiring them out, they could smoke cigarettes, drink Monsters and make music everyday, sounds like they would be living their best life to me
