WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for JULY, 2010

[ObsidiaMusic]

@ the dub lemon : It sounds great! I like the part at 2:10! I don't like the snare though, its not got enough 'snap' to it, maybe add a clap over it.

@ tripwire22 : I don't know why as it's not my style at all, but I really like it. I think the whole track needs slightly more high end, but I always think that, haha.

Haak: Nice timing on the new drop mate, sounding tiight.

For the Siren thing, I was thinking more of a synthy type high end thing with a strong tremelo, like Ice Cube's / Bud'da's synth sound on - "Smoke some Weed", but with more of a rise, just to add something extra after the drop.

Got an update on mine, Finally added some Sub to tha monsta!

I keep getting this feeling this track may be too mellow, but at the same time I'm telling myself that's it's alright haha. Usually my patches are grittier than shiiit, so it feels weird making a mellow tune. But i'm feelin this one.

[naroja]

Added a bit more tonight. Played a bit more with the dynamics, rhythms and drops . Now just need to add an Intro & Outro to the mix, Yey!

So I found the new Machete Trailer, and was playing my latest WIP over it while watching, and it seemed to match up nicely, so I decided to go all the way, edit the video a bit, lay the track over, and create a new version of the trailer... Had a lot of fun creating it, tell me what you guys think!

[HAACK]

@Naroja: Yhess man this should definitely be the tune for the opening trailer, good work!

[supermotorr]

@ Obsidia, that is sick, sounds like somthing from the matrix, real epic. sorry no real advice, i just like it how it is

@ naroja, everything fits good but sounds like it needs a bit more in the sense of melody. unless you are going for that ambient soft style in that case, sounds good

@ jerrdan, congrats on the first track. i am new myself and my first posted track was salty garbage compared to that. but, people may frown upon the FL studio scream sample because its stock. but what do i know i'm a noob too. hit me up on soundcloud and i'll give you some advice that helped me get started. love the vid.


And any advice on this would be great, esspecialy on the eq.... sorry grandma

Geeza:So sidechain compression on my track? So should i use that function on the bass and the kick? Where can i find this dubstep production bible? I have the snare layered with two snares, but i threw the reverb on there and fatten up the sound a little...kinda has like a rasta style like steel drum ring/echo...


to everyone:thank you for the feedback...please be sure that everyone gives their feedback..i'm a total noob, but I am trying to hit the producing hard. I have nothing but time.

okay so i guess i answered most of my own questions searching around on here...n00b....ahahaha...

[naroja]

Haak: Haha Thanks!!! I'd love to do one soon that's more Robert Rodriquez / Tarintino oriented (favorite directors), using samples from the movies, clips etc.

supermotorr: Yeah definitely not finished with this one, I wanted to keep it mainly focused on the rhythm, I could definitely add a melody, but Id like it to focus more on the swing of the bass. Maybe I'll get it grittier to make it work as pure rhythm & bass. Also going to be adding in some Vocals possibly, and an intro / outro. Too bad that trailer is only 2 minutes Might have to remix it a bit more to fit the track

TheBreadMan: Maybe 0:35 - 0:35 you could have a white noise sweep, building up to a drop or something... I think it needs some Kicks / Bass in sooner. Go grab some 808 kick samples somewhere

[Layzie18]

need to mix this down

[beatsbydrew]

@ Layzie18: Love the orchestral/electronic fusion! After the intro I would love to have heard some contrasting dynamics, but other than that this track is jacked up!

[HAACK]

Alright another update, changed the bass line but think it still sounds a bit repetitive? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

@ HAACK try a counter melody with some of the other sounds your working with to take some of the melodic load of the bassline
