Yeah i thought that was it.

But yeah man as per usual youve got me drooling over your production quality, all your tracks have that polished sound that i find really hard to achieve.

The vocals samples are really cool, and i especially like that droney bass. Left you a few timed comments which are really only a matter of preference.

i think its cool when you hear a track and you know who produced it straight away, think youve definitely got your own style going man, remember us when your famous!

thanks man. tbh i was having a real tough few weeks lately doing tracks. And then I finally lost it and decided 'fcuk this, i'm gonna do things my way'. Glad i did now as I'm quite happy with that track (although i think i can get a better mix out of it).

Regarding the polish thing, you're not the first person to say that. Even labels get back to me sometimes declining a track but saying 'what are you using to mix the stuff etc.?'.

Weird really, because I try to de-polish my tracks as much as I can. I actually think mixing is my weakest link right now. My dad and grandad were both mix engineers so I guess I sort of grew up with mixing being the family business so to speak.

I think it's hilarious when I see all the lads over in the production forum going on about this plugin, that plugin, this compressor, that compressor etc. I used all the nicest hardware ever built when I was growing up and NOTHING comes close to what you can achieve in the box these days with Logic and even the bundled plugins. I use the most minimal setup (in fact it's getting smaller every month).

Btw, I think your stuff is genuinely phenomenal (and I'm not one for compliments). If I were you I'd stick to your hardware focused setup but then do all your mixing and mastering in logic after you've tracked all the audio. Think you'd be getting the best of both worlds then.

Anywho, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

Drums are sweet as usual with your tracks. Not really the kind of thing id be into wen it comes to the breakdown, very nice melody tho, fairplay. Id probably change the pad sound a bit its a bit too stringy for me, the stabs are cool, i think adding a bit more shuffle to the track could make it a bit better.

Other than that its a sweet idea to build on, keep up the good work sean!

thanks man.
yea i definitely dont think the melodic part will be everyones cup of tea but it just kinda happened that way.
definitely agree the track needs just that little bit more groove for it to work too.

just got a listen t yours now(friggin myspace acting up)loving the bass in it and the stabs are really nice.
cant wait to hear the rerecorded version

SteveDon · 22-06-2009 7:06pm

cheers dude will send you on a link when its done

yeah man your the perc master as far as i can see, im sure youll be able to add a bit more groove to that track no bother!

im always in awe at the guys who ca make a track groove with just some hats and one perc.i think i over do it with mine.

definitely wanting a link when its done and for god sake man send it out to a label:D

Dragan · 23-06-2009 1:42pm

My second effort at making a Dubstep track. Hopefully i have implemented lessons learned based off the advice of people on here.

Also, big thanks to Neurojazz who is most likely going to recognise a lot of the drum hits i used. :pac:

Anima · 23-06-2009 3:46pm

Pretty cool Dragan, good atmosphere from the track. The synths work well together, the only think I would say is the drums don't have enough impact.

DJ SC · 26-06-2009 1:11pm

please check out my dubstep and dnb tunes an tell me what you think.

Very nice mate! Those soft gentle drums at the start of the Dubstep track are really nice. Great vocal sample choice by the way, and when it all drops it's really neat and clear. Very nice indeed.

That bass line on The Cleaner is pure grease. ****ing love it.

Best name of any of your songs is "Pig****er" though.

jtsuited · 26-06-2009 7:11pm

Hope it's ok to post mixes here?

just a lil mix I've been working on lately as a sort of inspiration and reference tool for working on tracks.

I really like that tune Man. Lots of different sections in it.

Took me about a minute or so into it to realise who the Frank was

I really like the little breaky Clap / perc stuff at the end of bars etc..

Quickly - the only think that I would say is, it sounds like its missing something at the 1st breakdown around where the claves come in. I know its one big long build up to the 2nd.. but it sounds like it needs the kick to be taken out for a couple of bars or something.. maybe a gradual hipass on the kick etc.. & a swell of some sort behind it.. Possibly a Reverb buildup on the vocal?

Then all Freqs back in when the claves begin-ish..

Many thanks for the feedback ICN. I agree that there needs to be a drop or something more there towards the start. Will try some things in a few days when it's fresh again. I actually found the first 2 minutes the most time consuming and the area that I was least happy with.

I tried to make a better one than last time - does this have more energy?

It's just a segment from 32 bars in to just after main break.

Potential there mate - i would do somehthing with the intro drums at the start(it just sounds slow and empty(if ya know what i mean), improves a lot after this though, well done
