I`d say i`m producing dark music.
Broody, dark, melancholic.

Take a listen to the Wip in my sig.
I`m always up for a production chat.

Not on AIM though.

Have been busy with making nice 'dungeon' sounds for the last 6 months or so.
Not on AIM though, but I love topics where dungeon producers come together and talk about random things:D

kryptic minds = jelly

they have amazing hit hat work going on in a lot of their songs. sounds like sex to my ears. also i love how a lot of the time they dont use snares. they use "knocks" or "wood block" type samples. just a reminder you dont need a big banging snare to sound good.

Agree 1000000% on the snare. I dont get why so many people think that a dubstep track has to have a huge white noise snare........

It all depends on the kind of dubstep.
I can't imagine a proper HENCH track without a fat snare, but rimshots seem to fit KM tracks more :)

Hey, I've just started dabbling in this sound and am having some trouble with it. Was wondering if you all had any tips on the deep metallic bass lines used by Kryptic Minds and the like.
Big Ups

Lots of layers of using EQ to make different parts of the sound come through, Reverb again EQed to make certain parts come through i like hi and mid reverb i think it gives it the metal/tinny sound you are looking for.
Also check out my tracks and see what you think i like to say my stuff sounds like Kryptic MInds

Thanks

Even though iv posted earlier, im definitely making dark stuff now, this style definitely needs a resurgence imo. Trying to make wubs but keeping it dungeony, think skream from the old days.
my latest attempt for example :)
