Description : Some chiptuney dubstep.

I wrote this in a combination of software, Musagi (a small, C++ program similar to tracking, but with more synthesis capabilities [it's free, you know you want it]), and FL Studio, my favorite DAW. I used Musagi to make some of the Lo-Fi bass sounds, only one bass was made entirely in FL Studio. That bass is my lead wobble sound though, I did a tutorial on how to make it, link will be farther down.

The way I went about making the melodies is the same as I always do, I sit down at the piano and play some notes.

:) Have fun guys!

Yea I have focused on sound design pretty much all the way up to now and I'm very satisfied with the quality of my sounds, it's just the mixing that gets me apart.

So anyway yea on my next track I'm going to make everything but the drums quieter and sidechain the sub. I already keep my kick and snare at -8 dB so I'll just lower everything else. I thought everything was at a good volume but okay.

I wouldn't cut the kick in that way. Because the sub wont just be at 50hz. [Depending on what notes you are using. F to A are nice and bassy. But i would defiantly do sidechain like you said dude! Sidechaining is a necessity in my productions, even if its a small amount. I do it to my bussed synths too.

Thats kool man.. do you use any other form of networking? Soundcloud? Facebook?

I did have a facebook, but that never really caught on. I have a soundcloud though,

Do you have one? I would like to follow you!

And okay, I will definitely try sidechaining rather then cutting everything around 50 hz from the sub. Thanks so much!

Well id be careful with the sub. The sub takes up so much of the headroom of the track. If you push it too far, there wont be enough room for the rest of the stuff. I say more importantly get the sub hitting the right frequencies.. thats important more so than the level. Use an analyser to make sure its at around 50 hz. & thats fine man, honestly. If you/anyone who reads this and needs any help, just pm me or whatever, and il try my best to help! :).

Oooooh I get it, I was once told to cut a very small bandwidth at 50 hz to make room for the kick.

What if I used sidechain compression on the sub, so when the kick hits the sub ducks slightly to make room for the kick's low frequencies?

And thanks, it's a big help! I still feel new to this production stuff, even though I'm closing in on a year.

I really like this one! The combination of the old school synths and the wobbles is really cool! Chiptunes are fun, and this is the first time I've heard them fused effectively with dubstep! Nice work!

Thanks! I've heard some other chiptune influenced dub before, but decided to make some the way I thought it should sound. Chiptunes are most definitely fun! Where is my gameboy color?

Cheers!

I agree 100% with TimmyTrash.

Id say the idea/structure is there. With the sound fx and the epic build up. Kick/Snare should arguably be the focal point. They get a bit lost, try turning others things down so it appears louder, or turn them up. Just get the drums peaking around -10Db. That will set the level. Then work the rest around them. You should try a better sub too. What are you using to mixdown on?

Skyhunter replied Unknown
I mix on cheap hi fi headphones. :(

Okay so I need to make the drums louder. I assume you are talking about the ones in the drop, or just in general? I used to drum sets, an old school white noise set then my other drum set I normally use. I think I'll render the drums as loops then, so I can better balance them.

Okay so I will also make the sub louder. I only use the sub every so often as a rhythmic element, I usually keep it at -10 dB, I'll go a little louder next time.

Thanks for the help, I really, really appreciate it! :D

My first full song (10+ hrs of work) I've made in years.
I blended in a lot of Splice samples but the idea is completely original.

I know it isn't everyone's favorite genre of music but it's definitely mine

Any feedback is much appreciated

Description : If you're looking for Skrillex and his cronies, you've come to the wrong place. It's not that kind of dubstep. This track opens with a nod to my fellow Vault Dwellers and Wanderers of the Wastes, and transitions into a deep, dark celebration of the Horror movie genre. Some of you will get it. Some of you won't. Either way, I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for listening. Take care. V.

Description : Hello hello! School is finally over so I'll be posting much more now :P Thanks everyone for the loops! I used a bunch of them to which I added some synth, congas and little fillers to make the track build up nicely. Hope you enjoy! ;D
Also if any rappers wanna add a verse somewhere feel free to do it and send me the results! Just put (featuring Charlie Rose) in the title of the song if you wanna publish it.
Happy 420!

Description : This is my new single! It's a little different style than I'd normally go for (deeper and darker), but I really liked the instrumental, which is my HakaN96, and just HAD to do something.

Let me know what you think of it! My mixing/mastering skills arent the best. I put the song under the Dubstep genre (because of the instrumental) but with all the singing i'm not sure if it's more popish or not. What do you think?

If you enjoyed the song please like my Facebook page! I would love to hear from you!
