When I started originally I guess I was making some odd form of hip-hop which progressed into sample based hip-hop. It eventually turned into a strange mix of electronic, trip-hop style stuff that progressed into a fusion of hip-hop and dubstep. I started making just straight dubstep for a while and ...

Hello fellow producers.
I have been casually producing music for the past 10 years or so. I first started on an old Technics keyboard. It used floppy disks to store all the files. A rapper friend of mine gave me a copy of Fruity Loops version 4 and I started learning how to sample and use a DAW for ...

@Alexandercunningham: Beat me by one minute . I like what you did fx wise to the vocals. I can't give much feedback on the mix other than it's a little to reverb heavy. The melodic work it very tight and well done. Interesting track man.

@1stfiest: holy fuck dude, this is sweet as hell. I mean I was instantly feeling this a lot. I love the fist intro synth and the fact that the second square sounding thing was clashing with the main melody a little just ads to the tension of the drop. I was only disappointed that it's not done ...

@ Gaol : This is very interesting, it has a sort of trance feel. Obviously could use a much better mix down but it's not the boring brostep. I think you could add some more melodic elements to it other than just the strings and choir in the intro. Something like a floating synth just to fill up the ...

Posting at the bottom of the page SUCKS!

@ bl0rg : I cant figure out if thats batman but it sounds like it. It's really really cool. I would like for your wobbles to be more present, they seem a little bit muddy. The intro is nice though. very well done over all

@ alexeyhermann : I like the various sound fx's, this is really cool and very ...

I have an m-audio axiom 25 but its to big to really travel with and my drum pads are not working any more. :/

I want one

@Budspencertron
No, The sounds are Great!! just the fact that it starts to go, and then stops, then starts, stops, starts, stops. you should just have it continue without stopping.

@Specimen-Yarp
I do not like the intro synth. Your mix is waaaay to loud. almost clipping. and the synth is very edgy ...

@Malleus
I like the dropping FX sound you have there. I'm not a huge fan of the lead synth but the sub is nice. The vocal sample goes really well with the tune overall. I think the drums are ok but like you said the kick needs layering. I don't really like the shakers all that much, not the pattern ...

I've mixed this track about 6 times now and it still sound like i need to do something different to the mix. I am not happy with how the wobbles sit in the mix or the drums overall. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I don't have monitors and mixed this in headphones and in my car speakers ...

Drooooool

I listened to your whole mix. I liked it very much. I am purchasing an APC40 and this is exactly the kind of mix I want to do. I have previously been using torq with an m-audio controller but found no need for jogwheels and ableton has so much versatility. I'm very interested to know how you set ...

Well I went to guitar center and played around around with the Akai apc40 and I love it. A big selling point is that it comes with a version of ableton live already. Which I was planning on buying anyway. I don't really feel the need to use jogwheels at all but I'm a little skeptical on how to set ...

I am leaning towards a Hercules RMX. I don't give two shits about scratching, just mixing and beatmatching (and cool FXs). Eventually I'm probably going to get an ableton controller and do my shows that way. But I can't afford ableton at the moment and if I just get a controller now I can do some ...

Hello all. I have a question. I'm learning to dj and have been doing gigs at house partys with my buddy's controller running torq. I do dubstep and hiphop/bliphop/glitchhop. I'm going to purchase a controller on this upcoming weekend. Seeing as I'm a relative begginer I wonder what would be a good ...

oh and vinyl releases are incredibly neccissary, i dont mix vinyl and i think they are incredibly important within the scene.
OK, but why? I understand there are Dj's who prefer vinyl but is there that large of a market for it. If I'm signed to a label and have an EP release is it standard ...

Boy, you better be happy with that penguin. I busted my hand on the trackpad trying to turn a photograph into that.

Ha that's awesome!!! If you can just unblur ...
