A gong smash, on the other hand, has a broad-band frequency make-up, with a slow attack and long sustain. Its envelope shape will normally have a fast attack and a slowly decaying tail. A plucked bass guitar note, for example, will typically have most of its information in the low-end of the frequency spectrum, with some upper-frequency information at the pluck part of the sound. When layering sounds, there are two major considerations at play: each sound’s frequency profile, and its amplitude over time. Making the right choices at all stages of the creative journey - from songwriting to tracking and arranging - can greatly speed up the mixdown process, result in a more polished track, and avoid the need to ‘fix it in the mix’.
You start with the basic outline and shape, then gradually fill in the canvas with color, texture, light and shade, before adding some finishing touches.
