My Printer - DustSounds

29th Dec 2008 16:40 - 17 years ago
Description : So this is a dedication to my old printer. It was really funny - it made many funny noises and didnt do its job properly. But I still liked it. [..I used its vocals for this one..]

Also this might be my first breakbeat track. + Again some heavyweight experimentation. Tell me what do you think, guys!

Cheers,

DustSounds

your a genius,
doing that with your printer samples takes some skill,
you got it sounding quite rhythmical! nice breakbeat also, love the 16 beat slam rolls!

great job man!

Hi there Dustsounds,

Getting around to review a track of your and chose this one.
I see you listened to the heavy metal track 7 times. That's cool, but probably would be better if you just downloed it and listened to it thru your home speaker system to get a better overall sound.

Anyways, I like the printer one you did here. Sounds like a typical dot matrix as I used to have one. Now a Deskjet that makes very little noise.

It's cool the way you incorporated the printer sound into your mix, and is certainly differently than anything else I have heard.
Overall, I think you did a clever job. Nice going!

Thanks, Randy!
It is nice to receive a review from you.

Actually this was a very old Deskjet printer.. I guess it sounded so loudly just because of its age. And, yeah, my new one is silent as well.

Unfortunately I dont have any proper speakers to blow my brains out with while listening to your track.. yeah.. downloading is a good idea, though.

Thanks again,

DustSounds

I like this. Great and original. What do you use to mix? I cannot get a good mix. Mine are always kind of muffled. Where did you learn to mix? Is there a secret? PEACE.

Thanks!
Well.. unfortunately there is no secret. It just happens. I remember those times when I just started to learn using Fruity Loops.. everything was just not very well sounding.. But now all that does it is just the limiter, compressor on few necessary tracks and the rest is just what my ears tell me to do [panning & volumes]. I've never really known how to mix.. I've never went through tutorials about mixing either.. maybe because I am too lazy for that. But this website and its members really inspire me so I might get down to exploring things more techically.

The beginning was superb, towards the end it perhaps sounded too "produced". After all, i liked it.

Yes, I can only agree with you. I should have spent more time on this.
But thanks for the review!

OMG, I love this track of yours. :-) refreshing. I wonder if there are any loops of old DOT MATRIX printers you could add to this. Those Old DOT Matrix Printers used to make all kinds of noise you know. Perhaps some vocals using the classic blurbs such as "Print on Demand". Ink is running low lol..

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!
