Hello FP,
In the past I have tried to utilize a bass, a low-mid range instrument, a high-mid instrument and keep my hats in the high end to help keep the spectrum properly represented in a hip hop beat.
Today, many popular hip-hop beats, and ones I personally think are dope, contain just a single lead instrument with occasional fill elements. Leads are usually layered with a subtle sub-bass and the top end sounds to be distorted/excited to some degree in many cases.
Is this a well-known technique to help "represent the entire freq spectrum" with what appears to me a single lead line? Do you use similar techniques?
