Hi ScaramangaDNB.

Thank you for your nice comments.

Mid bass – Most of the time I will make mid bass and its not good enough to take care of the sub too. So I will split it into 2 with the low end crossover around the 1st or 2nd harmonic of the sub note this is track dependant obv. This method allows much more control and you can manipulate the mids more if needed. Sometimes the sound is good enough to deal with all of the bass frequencies but not that often.

Drums – In order to have a nice sounding beat using breaks, it’s usually best to layer some solid sounding synth drum hits with your break. So, for example, you could find the key of the kick drum in the break u want to use, layer it with a fat clean synth kick roll off the low end in the break and balance to 2 together maybe add a bit of dist and or compression for a bit of glue, then do the same with a snare. This way we get the transients and weight the drums need but also get the funk from the break.

Good luck!

Ed.
