Hi,

I've been working on this module for a few days now and I can't figure out how to make each part a bit distinct from each other. They all seem to run together. Especially in the third and fourth patterns.

I created all the non-percussion samples myself so they aren't a problem to change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

(Well, anything other than "switch to a better format". I don't tend to think outside the box - I'd rather take the box that's there and make the most of it.)

It doesn't sound too bad to me - I've heard much worse!

Basically, you've got to give each instrument its frequency space to live in. Generally speaking, that involves reducing the amplitude of those frequencies in the other instruments. It's a bit hard to do that properly when you're dealing with samples played at different frequencies, though. :/

Moving to higher bitrate samples might help a little, too, if that's possible.

Nice little track, btw. But that low sine in the final pattern kinda messes with my ears. :/

It's not difficult when I'm constructing all the synths myself So maybe something like a HP filter on the 303 sample. I'm not really constructing all the sounds as a whole, just individually. So each sample kinda covers all parts of the spectrum.

Thanks for the advice.

Edit: Also, as for bitrate, well... using the current samples, I'm reaching both octave limits for ProTracker on that sample. I could double up on it for low and high frequencies without a problem though.

Making a resampled copy of your sample indeed helps in a tight .MOD spot. And in the best case you'll find another use for the "new" sample in the song.
