How can I get really heavy distortion on my beats and bass withought compromising on punch, mix space and sound quality? I know that some kind of filtering must apply here but every time i try I manage to get the loud aggressive sound I want, then apply filters to give it some space and I instantly loose that lovely nasty impact.
Thanks

I tend to do minor eq cuts when I use distortion in addition to filtering. Panning may also help with space and separation

With Predatohm it's mostly about selecting the right type of distortion an then tuning intensity, character and volume of the chosen frequency band. Tedious process, but it get's the deal done. Additional high pass filtering can smooth out out the high and as can the application of a reverb with short delay time.....but with the latter you also loose definition.

i know this is a long time for a thread bump, but i came across this during a search for a lower memory usage alternative to camelspace¿ anyways, found a few free ones online....
...but to this topic, as another way to clear up some room have you tried m/s equalization? pushing the midrange off to the sides (stereo width) while keeping the high and/or low ends in the center.
i suggest the highs in the center as well as the low end only because the sides are usually full of drum hi-hat/cymbal delays and whatnot. only major conflict might be electric guitars or maybe vocals, but that usually isn't an issue in most electro as there aren't many songs with either.
if you figured this out or already know about it, cool. if not, i can post up some demonstration vids and links to some free tools online if you or anybody else wishes.
