Couple more:

The sound design on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOOHZeFLQVE i'd love to know a bit more about how you achieve any of those sounds!

Same with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LOy2bL6ifk the initial sounds are insane and would love an insight into the sound design. (bonus points for awesome music video visuals)

Ambient/Euphoric Breaks Track


Let us hear you!

Hi all

I have a large library of tunes that I never release but like to put up on soundcloud, but many of them I made a while back and would like to think I've improved a lot. So in that vein - can you give me feedback on this track? I think it's a bit over compressed and not well mixed but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[quote="UtobiaNZ"]

Great stuff man thanks for the link! very cool fusion. Yes these places get a lot less exposure internationally they are ripe for new underground brews.. its very refreshing from the usual stuff

[/quote] Definitely - I suspect Europe & US should give way to these fresh, exciting scenes - I wanna see what they have to offer.

More Housey' practice - All I Ever Wanted


Let us hear you!

I really like this! The thing that stands out to me most is the progression across the track. It feels like there is several distinct sections (that all fit well together), so it keeps it interesting throughout. Good arranging.

I'd say the mix is pretty good, but the whole thing may be a tad muddy. Might be worth looking at the whole track on a spectrum analyser, and I suspect you'll see quite a lot of frequency bunching up around the 3-400 hz mark. Might be worth EQing some of the mid-range synths. That being said, the drums are super smooth, the bass is well balanced as well. Maybe the hats/high end could have a bit more sheen?

Still, really good, and I'm a big fan of all you've been posting recently

That's Life by XLN not Audio Bloom? Seen a few demos of it. Looks very interesting - just like a lot of their stuff. RC20 is awesome, and XO is also on my list to try at one point. So much to learn, so little time heisenberg

You're right - changed the title now. Ha! Definitely check out Life.

Nice idea!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHZJu9GAP-Q

Here's my submission to the Hall of BANGERS. This has long been a favourite track of mine, and there's many things about it that I'd like to know how to produce.

Firstly is the sort of general squelchy, warm, bubble bath feeling that this track has. I'm not sure what it is but maybe very subtle filtering? Not sure...

Also, on the drums section you have some breaks, not too complicated, but the beats that precede the breaks (0:47-1:31) - they have a really intersting timbre and I was wondering if they are a sample, a drum machine - they just seem to sound so organic and not rigid.

I'd recommend everyone check out Skee Mask's album Compro - it's a masterpiece.

Hey all

I just saw a vid of this plugin for making breaks (which I use on almost all my tracks and it looks insane! Has anyone else used it, and if so, what was your experience?

General Producer Chat

After seeing UtobiaNZ's post in the forum about loving the Jay Pei set, it reminded me of all the great fusion music there is in the electronic world. And I know a little, which I'll share below, but I'd love to see what other stuff people like. Let's hear your stuff. I know there's a few members from South America and I imagine elsewhere s- let's hear your favourite tunes!
