Hi,
It's been 4 years since this thread was made...So things might have changed a little. I was wondering what would a modern sound be for a synth in a electronic rock band. I've listened to some old tracks and want to add them a more modern layer.
The problem is the "modern" sounds on my korg krome existent and new ones that I tried to make are way too quiet for them to be heard, the only sounds that can be heard in the mix are the good old synth strings and synth brasses that penetrate at the surface.
Otherwise if the guitar is playing a riff on a "modern" keyboard sound, the sound is lost within the mix, you can hear only a few of its original frequencies. Any Ideas on what else I can try to make it sound more modern? Or maybe some examples of other bands that found a solution? If you want a sample of how the songs sound, pm me.
This is actually way harder to do than I expected. The biggest problem is that I've heard these songs quite a lot lately and they actually sound good to me just as they are, so it's hard to get an outside view of the songs, like a normal listener that opens the track for the first time.
Thanks for reading my whole boring story about my journey into the art of modern sounds, if you have any ideas I would like to hear them, maybe they will at least point me into a new direction where I can start experimenting again.
Cheers!
