Did this for my school’s Electronic Music Production module (SAE)
First track i ever made!!
cut off the beginning part as i intend to rework on it when i have the time
the original has an electro housey intro just before the breakdown going into mechanical dubby noise, really did not enjoy the electro house intro so its back to the drawing board to re-work things soon! for now i will jump to the middle part
did on ableton 8 , ni massive, sylenth, alchemy, refx nexus
reference monitors : Yamaha HS50m
critiques and feedbacks are welcome - i am just an audio engineering student and still learning
hey dude thanks!
I did compress and limit the distorted bass, perhaps pulled the threshold way too down and pulled up the makeup gain too much, plus i set a master limiter to the overall track (using ozone 4) set at -0.5 to avoid clipping
no i didnt use db glitch, is it good? did a quick google and apparently its a windows only vst or something, i dont have windows anymore at home so i cant try it out
you should make the diffrence between the dubstep part and house party more obvious…like completly cut out the synths/drums when the dude is saying "less go (i think:?)
also your kick isnt standing out enough are you para compressing it / eqing it right?
i like the housy part more then the dubstep if thats helpfull at all…maybe you should sample some of the house and work it into the dubstep to give it a dirty melody type feel
this was originally almost 4 minutes long, i cut off the first 2 minutes or so because i didnt like it (i did submit it to my school for grading though because i was running out of time hahaha) this will definitely get a rework soon taking note of all the inputs i received
btw i did sidechain compress the kick, but probably the attack/release was needs some tweaking or something, this will also get looked at later, thanks!
now i am working on my final school project (which is due in 2 weeks or so) which is a cover/remix of deadmau5’ raise your weapon, i am thinking of posting the whole process here soon (along with pictures) because some might find the journey interesting, obtaining samples without the use of sample packs (self-recording)
i recorded the vocals with a neumann U87 mic
Kick drum: Sennheiser E602 on the bass drum / SM57 on the beater
Snare top: shure sm57 / sennheiser E604
Hihats : shure sm57
Claps: Sm57
all routed into an SSL AWS900 mixer in the school studio
sampled a clavinova digital piano (for the piano intro of raise your weapon)
pretty much i am doing the cover from scratch, so this will be interesting
