Description : THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF MY TRACK "In paradise".

I've been working on and off this track for over a year now. Each time I've never been fully satisfied... until now. This is a 10 minute remix of a track that was originally 2 minutes long. Its also my first time using pitcher and newtone on my voice (hopefully it won't be a regular thing and I can use my actual voice in the future though)

The first three minutes of this track is the introduction, starting off with a wierd panning drumloop made with a few electro drum sounds that came with fl studio, and slowly adding more sounds to it.

The following 6 minutes are me playing around with loads of different drum loops, and my own voice.

The last two minutes or so is an outtro, ending with the same drumloop as in the start.

The guitar was made using string theory and image lines "Hardcore" plugin, the piano is a heavily filtered FL keys, the pads are four filtered samples, and the strings and bass were made with synth1- arguably the best freeware synth out there. The drums were manually placed into the FPC then sequenced.

Theres a better quality version up on soundcloud, because I had to cut down on the quality cause of the length of this track:

I'm not allowing downloads on either of the links, but if you contact me privately or in a review, I'll send the mp3 your way. (The one on soundcloud isn't 320, because I wasn't sure if soundcloud had a size limit)

    At first, I didn't know what to make of it. When it there was more beats, I like it. The beat and melody was very nice. It has a little groove going. The vocals are not bad either, I think it's at the volume it should. It could be a louder if you want. Great job. Keep it up. :)

    Glad you liked it. I tried making the volumes louder, but sadly, even if I only boosted one thing, it made the track sound too distorted.

    Thanks for the review!

    Ste :D

    I like this track it is more of the softer ambient side to dnb so that is probably why i think this track was so good. it was well worth the time put into it with this version ") Kudos

    Yeah, I prefer making dnb styles that aren't just DNB, that normally have other genres influence it.

    The intro is amazing. Love the panned (and phased?) drum sounds and the pads are just gorgeous. One tiny bit of advice would be to add some reverb to those drums at the start..just a hint here or there because it sounds a bit dry until the pads really come in. The rest is just a lovely journey...I was a little apprehensive when I saw you've named it "extended vocal mix" thinking I'd hear you singing about love or sunsets or unicorns or whatever (nothing personal, I've just heard far too many electronic songs ruined by trite lyrics and weak singing), but you've used your voice more as an additional instrument and it works really, really well here.Can't really say much about the mastering because I'm listening to this on headphones, but it sounds fine to me.

    Really good stuff, this. Love the whole vibe of this track...extremely soothing without ever being boring. Well done.

    Yeah, the drums at the start were phased. I was going to add reverb, but when I tried it the drums seemed to get drowned out, or the pads did, so I never got it quite right, not gonna go back and re-visit this one now, cause I think its time I left this track in the past.

    The "extended" part was just to show that I've finally made a song that isn't two minutes long, and the vocals.. speak for themselves. I didn't want my vocals too far into the foreground, so they aren't louder than any of the other instruments.

    Really glad you enjoyed it!

    Ste :D

    Nice mix Ste:) Pretty long track but I like it. I like how you kept it interesting and switched it up some. The synth's and sfx you used are dope. They really give it a liquid feel. Your vox gives it some more life too. You sure as hell put a lot of work into this track. Feels good to finally be done with it. Now it's time to start something fresh and new and not have this one sitting on the back burner collecting dust...lol... Nice work man!!!

    Yeah, I geuss you guys are as sick of hearing my variations on the same track as I am making them. This one feels different though, just the whole sound seems so much more uplifting than its less impressive counterparts.

    Definatly gonna be making new stuff, finishing this track is like ending an era and moving on to bigger and better things.

    Thanks for reviewing the track Blume!

    Ste :D

Description : The track was completely made today from the scratch as a part of comptetition with myself. I have a bad looping syndrome (aka making 20-secodn loops) and it's nearly impossible for me to create a whole track, so I decided to finish at least one thing...
The track is heavily cut due to 7mb restriction. If you want a full version - contact me.

Description : Before I start, I'd just like to thank all of the wonderful community members who help me beat my creative block with their advice on my other track. Not only was I able to beat it, but I was also able to gain a little more creative ideas. This will be the first track with a background story. This track takes place in Las Vegas Nevada. A man name John, is an ex drug addict and finds himself playing the slots. When he comes across this blue synthetic drug, just sitting in between two of the slot machines. Not being able to resist, he opens the bag and takes a huge hit. John's body instantly reacts to the drug, causing him to go into full on high mode. John starts kicking the machine he is at, throwing chairs at the machine causing sparks to erupt, evidently finding himself practically burning the casino down. John continues his "high" on the Las Vegas strip. Doing everything from knocking old women down to flashing at the police. Eventually causing John to get surrounded by cops, almost exactly when he starts coming out of his high. As the cops has John surrounded with his hands in the sky, John realizes he has some more drugs left, hanging out of his sleeve, he quickly sniffs the entire packet, causing time to slow down for John. John kicks the garbage on the right of him, hitting on of the three cops right the face. The other two cops then shoots at John, John has an instant reflex action and dodges both of the cops bullets. Before, taking them both down and finally doing some awesome parkour, on his way to his hotel room, to dodge other police. John eventually makes it home, sits on his couch smokes a joint and calls it a night.

Description : This is my first attempt at incorporating DnB with my vocals. This track was inspired by the very first loop I found on this site... also the first sound in this track ;)

Description : About five years ago I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.
