Today's free dl in my bid to teach myself to finish tracks. First dubstep track I've made in about a year. Put a fair bit of effort into structuring (second drop etc.)

really likin your tune as well jizzman, especially the swing on the drum patterns!

lovely lady is big m8, smooth vibezzz. the virus is sum gangsta-ass $h!t, could do with some variation though imo dont shoot me 4 that m8

finished something i've been working on for a while

does it sound ok? duno if i should put more limiter on it more cos it's pretty quiet

also pls get a silky smooth rnb singer on lovely lady kidshuffle! those other beats are really nice too but that one

that funfair beat's nice too jizzman, shot me through aha

wanted to make something fun and bouncy (imo) and use only 808

chekov i think thats alright at the moment, i hate putting limiters on the master myself cos it always kills the dynamic if you have a lot of MIDI stuff running like I usually do

ehbes that tunes like teletubbies gon gangsta

hey guys

We should have an in depth production discussion thread.

There's a few limiters that have a dry/wet signal knob like izotope, where you can dial really small amounts in.
I find that a much less destructive approach. Also and this is something to look out for, there's limiters in a hell of lot of plugins where you wouldn't notice it, so when you put it on the master track you are limiting even when you think you aren't, like camelphat3 for example. A lot of synths too, mainly those that sound very commercial.
I take it as an excuse to use samplers instead.
You can spot it happening when certain peaks are suddenly nulled or muffled.
If you still want to limit some material separately, just set up a bus-group.

ah yeah izotope limiter is very nice, i just stay away from Ozone cos I dont really know what I'm doing when I put it on the Master lol. I'm never too obsessed about technicalities anyway, just wanna get on with my ideas. I remember using Sony Oxford on the master to limit though and the results were mixed, I think it does depend on what sort of a track you're limiting as well (correct me if I'm wrong)

ended up messing about with the mastering a bit more, waveform still looks quite unpleasant though (i know this doesnt really matter tho lol)

if you are using shitloads of midi, bounce the project down with headroom, then home master in a new project (imo)

i do everything with the mastering stuff already on the bus lol

feedback greatly wanted positive or negative

snare's a bit too loud imo^
would be nice if it had a bit more reverb too, overall i like the tune though!

maybe get the drums to be a bit more raw? could fit the vibe of the track better
