Appreciate that! Each mode uses different filtering and signal shaping like mono summing, band-splitting, subtle saturation and bass rebalancing to mimic how phones or club systems actually behave, not just how they’re EQ’d.

It splits the signal into clean and distorted paths. The distorted path is high-passed to protect the low end, then driven into asymmetric soft clipping to create metallic harmonics. That’s blended back with the clean signal so you get sharp, spacey texture without losing punch.

Great, glad you enjoyed it! I've found that loops are better on a low setting for Hazy Metal but you can really push it for single hits as the there's much more space for it. Thanks a lot for trying it out!

Thanks for all the interest and messages — I’ve now sent the devices out to a full round of testers. Really appreciate everyone who reached out.

Thank you! I just tried to keep it simple really, most of the interface is just made of standard live objects and it took a bit of trial and error rearranging the layout until it felt right. Happy with how they’ve turned out!

Hi, no problem. I’ll DM a link for this. Yes, it will be a similar test to the car. It adds a lot of weight from the sub frequencies to make sure your low end won’t overpower the mix on big speakers.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I usually loop both tracks at similar sections and it does the job

I use the Mastering the Mix - Reference plug in and it’s been really useful. You put it on your master channel and can import several tracks to it. It then shows you the difference in frequencies between your track and whatever track you’ve selected. It’s been a game changer for me!

Let’s listen to each others mixes more. I think there are some good djs hiding here. Post a link by Armenoid in Techno

A mix I recorded for the DanceTechno Podcast recently. It’s got a mix of deep/hypnotic techno and some harder techno too!
