I wonder, why is it that usually most Darkpsy music has less bass in the kicks than Fullon or Progressive Trance?
Is it because that's just the way it is and people prefer not to change it?
Or are they all convinced, that a less basier kick sounds better in Darkpsy? |

there are some reasons, eg the tempo of the track. faster the track - less time for kick to sound, thats why it has less bass.

not sure if there is less bass in dark psy , it depends the artists and it come from monitoring issu imo,bad speakers placment,small rooms... it can be artists who want lot of rms too .
there is the style of trance too, in progressive it s easier to have a nice low end but in all style you can with some work. |

to say just a generic thing like production is not good is a silly childish statement man....
i would say just that the more elements and sounds in a mix the more dense it is and there is less headroom for each seperate sound.

A big reason is that the sound is so fast that the kick cannot really play all of itself in conjunction with the bass. Other people might mix with a bassline that has most the bass and the kick has less...
I am sure the fact that the sound is more dense altogether in dark psy also contributes to that fact. One of my favorite dark producers remains Kindzadza, he always has such nice sound quality...

I know some very fast darkpsy with very nice deep bass
So, I agree and don't agree.
I don't agree... its not generally that darkpsy hass less bass.
but I agree in the cases where there is less bass it is often due to bad production, but also due to, I believe, it can be made sounding "harder" with less bass.
I personally certainly came across far more badly produced darkpsy then fullon. But its has been strongly changing in the last half year.

I think claiming that a fast bpm track doesn't have enough time for bass in the kick is a bit silly.
There are many fast tracks released since a long time ago, in any category or genre that are very nicely produced and mixed. (yes, even happy hardcore )

To make a kick with lots of low freq and a bassline to sound together, and the track to have a flow, it is one of the hardest part in the process of music creation (i talk about psy genres here).
Well most of the dark producers don't have the skills to do that and also they don't have time to process or finish properly a track because they must finish 1 track\day!
Sometimes it is easy to choose creativity and forget about the quality and professionalism, but of course, this idea it will always be accepted only by the amateurs.
If a good produced "progressive" or "full on" album takes more than 1 year of work, a dark album wont take more than 1 month.
Here is the trick !
