Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 i like your reggae samples but the 'dubstep' synth is way out of place and doesn't add anything to the track - also sounds a lot like a preset. I would suggest filtering it right down or just playing a sine/sawtooth wave instead. are you into King Midas Sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaOfEnergy Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 fair enough man, ive been messing about with putting the 'dubstep' synths through guitar distortion, just trying to do something a bit different is all. Ill try it out with a cleaner synth. cheers for your thoughts by the way , with me being a beginner with this stuff any advice at all helps ! Not sure if ive heard King Midas, i might have , i listen to alot of mixes so sometimes im not aware of who each track actually is... Ill check him/them out.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 King Midas sound is a side-project of The Bug. This track is a fave of minehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0yQkQ-IwwYGood example of making a sparse/subtle arrangement really hit hard there. The bass is basically just a sine wave as far as I can gather, but the echos etc are really nice and rich. Lots of dubby flavour. Reminds me of when dubstep really did have the dub vibe & 2step flavour, I'm not really a fan of the gnarly/noisy synths that have taken over. Keep it up though dude & keep posting your stuff. I did start a 'Your Electronic Productions' thread so chuck your stuff in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
