Not a fan of long intros?

[CruTex]

Just wanted to see everyones opinion on song intros, which do you prefer, a long build up (1.00+) or straight into the filth (-0.30)?

anthrax among the living 1:27 begins the blastbeat sorta drumming. i like that.

Prefer a decent build up, dont want to blow your wad too soon

[dav.id]

what is this for a retarded question, it all depends on the build up itself

if you have an epic 2 min intro and it is the fucking shit without getting bored and just skipping just before the drop well then I like a 2 min intro

if it is just 2 minuten full of kicks and snares + some delayed I just fucking skip the shit

there is no anwser to your question

Thats why i asked for an 'opinion' but thanks for the input anyway.

[fractal]

i like 3min + intro

unless the song is under 2

[AllNightDayDream]

Epic intro for epic drop, other than that keep the intros short and sweet

[Hibbie]

How about an intro then nothing:



Still love this track

Ha ha exactly. Makes the climax all the more sweet.

Depends who you are really, are you a listener or a DJ?

If you're a DJ it gives you a nice margin to get the mix together, if you're a listener then opt for the shorter intros.

[CruTex]

Well im a dedicated listener so i guess your right short and sweet.

as a DJ (and, in fact, as a listener) i prefer short intros in dubstep; much more flexible. I don't want to be fucking about waiting for something to drop when I could be blending and moving on.

I don't really play much wobble so it doesn't necessarily need to be DROP DROP DROP, double drops are a piece of piss to set up, it lets you use 3 decks a lot more, blah blah.

so yeah: 16 bars are ideal; 8 or 32 bars are OK; 2 bars is a bit of a squeak but i'll manage

[Eltsac]

All depends on the tune... but long drawn out intros usually mean that the focus of the tune is the drop, and I am not into big heavy drops..

I like zomby intros, like in digital flora, clipped and just dive straight into the tune...

If I want a shorter or longer intro I just make the intro shorter or longer in Ableton, hit save and go on with my day.

and then go and cut it?

If youre a DJ having a long or obscure intro is not fun.

It really fucks shit up because you have to skip ahead, or start mixing your song over a minute before the drop.

fuck intros over 55 seconds
