Neurofunk is the perfect genre for me. I listen to it every single day and it never gets old. More than that, no matter how many times I try to make it, the sounds I want elude me. Yeah Reese bass is surprisingly straightforward: multiple detuned saws, compression, EQ, and good distortion, along with some mix downs and dumb luck. Yet the sound I'm after escapes me like chasing the pot o' gold at the end of a rainbow.
This is good, it remains a challenge! Each time I try a Neurofunk tune it is like the first time, over and over. Each attempt is unpredictable and exciting. If I never achieve it, it will never become mundane. It will never be simply dialing in the formula over and over.
Maybe the challenge is I don't drop hundreds of dollars on softsynths, but thats Ok. I don't want to simply rehash the same sounds and techniques others do. I want to pursue my own sound. And while it may be frustrating, it keeps the genre exciting and new each and every time.
