Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

First and foremost big ups to you Mr. Madd, really feeling your sound recently... Something I'd really like to know is how you structure your tunes - do you follow a general rule for all of your tracks? For example, do you always begin with beat/bass/pads? If not, what is it that gives you the basi...

Wicked advice there man, cheers. Will be waiting a bit then might start sending. Seeing as not too many other crew asking questions I got another. You ever thought of doing a live show? Thoughts on them? Yeah I would be well up for it one day but I wouldn't want it to be a 1 laptop thing, so I prom...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

First of all big up, feeling your warm musical sound. Especially U/It's over with Von D. Wondering how you went about getting your first release, making the move from bedroom producer to someone with a string of releases etc. ez man, I think i had a pretty standard route with the tunes. I was sendi...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

Madd - First off, love the sound your pushing - like a Subtitles take on Dubstep. Loved the split with Matt-U. Was wondering how you go about your sub bass sounds. Do you use raw synthesis and then effect the rendered audio or do you use samples withing samplers like Kontakt etc? If so do you have ...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

Just a quick question, When creating a tune, where do you start first? Do you have a general structure in which you produce, or do you simply go with whatever feels right at the time? For example, do you tend to build the tune from the drop onwards and then strip things down and add bits for the in...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

Hi Mate, I'm really rating your stuff at the moment, particularly dub marine (and the kryptic mindz remix). Absolute banger of a tune, I was wandering if you could tell us how you made that bass line? When I try and make subby lines they tend to be pretty rigid, yours seem to flow about nicely :) B...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

Hi, just a quick one. I've been trying to add more atmospheric elements to my track's (pads etc) but struggle to get any decent sounds. Was just wondering how you get such atmosphere and get those elements to sit well in your mix? What I do with pads is to use 1 or max 2 sounds and duplicate and pr...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

What do you think, is there a connection between the time what takes to finish a tune and the possibility for that tune to become a 'top hit'? Many producers say that their biggest hits were made in like 10 minutes or half an hour maximum, did you experience something similar in your musical work? ...

I have a problem of finishing a tune, thinking its alright then listneing to some released stuff and noticing so much thats shit about my own work. Something I've began to think about is that I'll be listening to professionally mastered material. A lot of your tunes sound so huge, the bass on that ...

Re: DSF Q&A Sessions Vol.16 : DJ MADD

Your sound as mentioned is quite distinct, stripped back rhythms with superb sub bass. Where have your influences come from, what other genres directly affect your music and do you have a clear image of where you want to take your sound or do you not apply thought to that aspect? (HAI PETE - Come f...

Easy.. I will kick things off then. Do you feel that bristol has shaped your sound and style of dubstep? Because to me it sounds very 'bristol'.
