Thanks for the in-depth feedback :D
I've barely ever really utilized panning before, so it's a great suggestion of something I can try next time! I like that idea.
I've never used "side-chaining" (nor know what it is), but I'll look it up. I myself felt like the kicks were quite punchy and on-the-beat already, so I am a bit confused about what effect side-chaining will have. Could you elaborate?
just felt to me that having a short and sharp kick playing on the beats would help with emphasizing the rhythm even more.
Side-chaining is just having a compressor on a track responding to the signal of another track, so in this case the 808 bass would have a compressor on it thats responding to the audio fed to it from the kick, lowering the volume of the bass when the kick hits, helping it cut through the bass.
But those are probably not needed, The 808 just didn't feel sharp enough to me on my first listen (If that makea any sekä😅), so i suggested that.
Aha! I now get what you're suggesting. I watched a video on side-chaining, and I believe the effect you are particularly referencing is called a "ducking" effect. It's a great suggestion really, just a shame that I didn't know you could do that. Either way, I learned something new here, so thank you :D
