House production thread

[djdickclark]

EZ all, I moderate the production forum and would LOVE to see some funky-based threads over there. Would definitely open up some of the new-to-production folks' eyes in terms of what can be accomplished in dance music.

also might save us from having endless questions about wobbles and chainsaw synths.

so please don't be shy! Come on in.

thx

Danny J Lewis has some helpful tips on his page.

Loads of tutorials here: http://www.youtube.com/user/vocoderecords

Recommend Phonat and Nathan Fake, quite disco-ey but really interesting anyway, also recommend Alix Perez even if you don't like DnB.... Really good

like it. wasn't sure about the off-beat start but once the drums drop fully it starts rolling nicely and good vibe. like the bassine - maybe clean it up a bit? that's just personal preference though - and i'd maybe toughen up the drums a bit once it drops again. like your waiting for something else to happen. liked the techy fx that came in around the drop as well. hope that's of some use/interest! safe.

just get ableton live and a load of records you like, sample the fuck out of them, stick it all together, bingo.

first housey thing i've made ever. Dont really think the bpm is correct in terms of genre "rules", for the people who swear by that. but we dont care do we now

Tell me what you think, i really enjoyed making it and think it's quite cool

yooo

Good idea, I have been obsessing about mixdown on my tunes recently, they just don't sound as big or bright as other tunes I have from this forum's producers ie daneeka and james. any tips?

cheers! well, write the tune with the mixdown in mind, i.e. try and fill the freq range bit by bit, layer by layer. keep it simple! when you come to mixdown, turn off all compressors & EQ & reset faders to zero then add the effects back in very carefully as you mix. bring the kick up so it peaks around -5db on the master then mix drums around that. don't use too much compression, and only then if you know what you are doing. have bass a bit quieter than you think you need it to be, and reference on a decent hi fi & also on headphones. etc

That is some nice simple helpful advice there. Cheers.
