102 - Techno Template - 145 BPM

The low-end in this track may seem complicated. But once you understand the principle, everything falls into place.

By dividing the bass into separate tracks for each bass section, I gain individual control over each section. This allows me to adjust the relationship between each section. It also allows me to adjust the kick and bass relationship.

I don't want my track to be overloaded below 30Hz. So I hard-cut the low frequencies on the low-end elements. This changes the phase of the element, but sometimes the phase shifts due to timing. This results in overlapping of the low-frequency elements. Therefore, I use utility automation to ensure that the low-frequency element only sounds where it's intended.

Also, pay attention to the 16-OHH and its automation from 113 to 129 bars. Using the ECHO effect automation, I created movement in the break section.
