Acid doesn't give users energy, just makes them see shit..

Fuck that. I wouldn't do acid if you paid me..

But seriously, it doesn't. It's a hallucinogenic, not a stimulant.

Furthermore, that means nothing

The human body requires energy in order to sleep. You probably wasted yours chasing after shit that didn't really exist.

i'm well aware of the fact that LSD is a hallucinogenic, not a stimulant. But you probably shouldn't lecture people without knowing what you're talking about. First of all a tab of acid will most probably not provoke delirium (as in complete inability to differentiate reality from fantasy). You're mixing it up with substances like Datura etc.
Second, just because it's not considered a stimulant doesn't mean it won't give you a sensation of energy. For example, alcohol is considered a depressant, and in moderate doses it has an uplifting effect.
And besides, you're contradicting yourself. If I had in fact wasted all my energy "chasing after shit that didn't really exist" I should have no problem falling asleep after taking LSD, when in reality it's pretty fucking hard to do so, maybe even completely impossible for all I know.

just to let people know, im not working with dubstep - this is house stuff im working with now.
HAhah know what I always do for house drops (and basically everything but..) reverb the fuck out of a sound and fade it ride into the drop, a really long reverb, try out different noises to see what works for your tracks. But I love the sound of a drop that comes in with a hotnsweaty reverb that slowly fades away.

I'm not lecturing. But depressants don't make you depressed. They slow down transmissions in the brain, thus slowing down reaction rates. (reason being that they act on releasing dopamine into the brain, giving a sense of pleasure).
Like I said, the human body requires a certain amount of energy to actually fall asleep. Next time eat an apple..
I'm not claiming I know the most about these things, or trying to provoke argument, I'm just sharing information..

on-topic: double-time the hats, and possibly your main bass. More kicks can also help. Listen to tunes that you feel have a lot of energy, what gives them that attribute?

On the point of LSD - Zerbaman you really have no idea what you're talking about. You also sound scared of hallucinogens - which in reality, are far safer than every other drug, including alcohol (which is proven to be one of the most detrimental drugs in society, along with niccotine). Even depressants increase heartrate, which is what gives you energy. LSD can give you energy by the truckload. It can also calm you the fuck down.

Thanks I will try this out. I always toyed with the idea of handing out bananas at the drop but wasn't sure it would have enough weight.

Fuck knows what you other guys are on about.

I am to be honest. I'm afraid of having a bad trip. And I don't drink alcohol at all, or smoke cigarretes. Don't even use tobacco in roll-ups.
Increased heartrate doesn't give you energy, it means your body is using more energy, that's just simple understanding of GCSE biology man.

As a means of ending this:
I'm not saying you shouldn't do LSD, I'm just saying that it doesn't add to my joke. That's all. Neck as many tabs as you like for all I care..

I know it's dubstep but I noticed something that Skism did quite effectively in his remix of "boom" by excision/datsik.

Listen after the initial wobs on the drop, there comes in a high pitched whine which is sidechained to one of the bass noises, it's pretty subtle but I reckon it adds a lot of energy to the track.

yah that's the point, depressants are not uppers and can still give you a feeling of energy. Acid is not an upper but can still give you a feeling of energy.

And that's pretty silly, to say that you need a certain amount of energy to fall asleep. Of course you spend energy when you sleep. But you need loads more energy to stay awake. If you don't have the energy to fall asleep you're dead, basically.
