Hi,

I had some fun with alsamodularsynt [snip] sitting in front of a powerful

Maybe now you could split the track up in frequency ranges and use compression on each resulting track, instead of simply using EQ on the original.

I tried to work with splitting up the frequency range a bit. It's a bit of a hassle to arrange. Does anyone know of something like a 30 band parametric which can output 30 channels of stereo? That would be a handy tool.

I don't know if there's a compressor with side chain input available, but that might be useful too, e.g. to make the bass frequency range 'pump' down the other frequency ranges. (IIRC, there was a tutorial about doing that with LMMS).
If you have the higher frequency range on a separate track, add some reverb or panning or delay ?
An expander or gate could add rhythm accentuation.

Just my 2p, I didn't find the time to do all this to see if it works ;-)

I'm looking at the side chain compressor option. Does anyone have a suggestion for which plugin to use?

Cheers.
