A Mixer Chain for Techno Top Loops

This is how I always make my techno top loops slap, and you can do this as well.

My notes from this Short

01

Tighten it and boost the mids

Step 1, I use a noise gate to make it tighter. Step 2, muffle the highs and muffle the lows. Step 3, boost the mids a lot.

Then add some saturation.

02

Vocal Doubler and a wave shaper

Add stereo wideness with Vocal Doubler on a low mix. Then add distortion with a wave shaper, and a clean up EQ to get rid of all those peaks.

Vocal Doubler on a techno top loop: the amount at 18% for a bit of stereo wideness, separation and variation at 100%
Vocal Doubler on a low mix, 18%.
03

Hard compression into OTT

Then hard compression and OTT compression. Finally, an EQ to muffle the highs.
