Rib Cage - Extent Recordings - Gsusfrk

Description : Really... this is my piece of arkwork I am most proud of. High quality beats, (loops of a similar amen break [made from multiple different break'] to give it a little more energy), three different but similar basses to give a deeper and more full sound, appropriate effects to amp the song up and ambient like pads.
All made with Reason 5/Record 1.5 (beats made with Kong), intense amount sof eqing, compressing and mastering (though, I'm probably not done that yet) to help the sound come alive.
Hope you love this as much as I did enjoy making it.
Thanks and keep making music,
Steve.

Thanks man, hi hats are actually synthetic, Kong's hi hat maker in Reason/record 5/1.5 is quite amazing. But thanks for the work man, this is one of my best.
I'll hit one of your tunes up mate.

Realy nice track ! Looks like pro procuced ! A bit short but i know it's hard to make a long track with 170 bpm :p
Continue to make sounds like this !

Thanks for the review, it's not actually short, its 6+ mins, I was told to shorten it by the label this tune was signed by.
Second drop is better IMO, but it'll be revealed once released. (It was revealed a while ago but you caught the shortened version.)
I'll hit one of your tunes up!
Thanks again,
Steve.

some nice work here brother...that bassline kicks... I do have to say the drum track is a little thin...is it supposed to be?

seems to me a strong kick would work really well on this track..

the atmosphere..is something else brother...it speaks to me ya know? maybe some extra sfx would really set it off and carry it on through the track...

having said that... I enjoyed it

killer track...keep 'em coming brother

Yea, the drums are to made like that, gives the amen later more room to flex.
Thanks man - there's another track coming up (fissure) that I think has a lot of potential! :D
Thanks for listening mate, and keep it locked!
I'll hit up one of your tunes...

Thanks man, so do I. You can never really perfect a track, though, for me, this came close. I've always had a harder time getting the growl of the bass with the low of the bass to mix properly. Seems I'm getting better, but as they say, practise makes perfect... kinda.
Sorry I had to cut it short, policies are policies, Label wanted it shorter, and anyways I've always produced the tunes to have a better second drop than the first. Sorry you misses out on that.
THanks again,
Steve

Hey Steve

Mate really liking this piece, it is a genre that I have just become interested in after hearing tunes from Numberjack. so many talent people like yourself here doing DnB, very nice beat patterns, good vocal drop, nice synths, clarity and the arrangement are very nice, have to say one very enjoyable listen, adding to fav's...Peace n Respect Steve...Estefano...PS have my first ever attempt at a DnB track up, prob still maybe needs some more fine tuning, but not bad for first go....Peace...

Gsusfrk replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I hear yah man, if you were on earlier it was up, but since it just got signed by Extent Recordings I was required to make it a cut. Whenever they get to making it a release you can purchase it then!
But thank you for your words of encouragement!
I'll hit up one of your tunes!

Damnit man! This track is creepy as hell..Loving it..wish I could listen to it on my speakers :(.. I'm taking note of the way things are panning and the way your higher freq. samples are.. This is nicely done..you should be proud dude!! Faved

Gsusfrk replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks man, this one took a long time and about 5-6 times to get right. Honestly there are some good memories going back but it turned out real nice.
Bass on this wasn't what I was wanting to hit, but if I had gone any further it would of beena mangled mess that no one would want to listen to. Though I think you might like the bass I'm working on in my next project.
I never imagined it to be creepy lol but I suppose you could go that route, thanks.
Thanks for the checking the tune man, I'll definitely check out one of your tunes. :)

Really love the feeling here, sure is dark but with a kinda soft touch... Love the arrangements and breaks.
I don't have a lot of experience in dnb (the one I made was my first try) but I'm always amazed by the dynamics of the beats, and the ones you made here I thoroughly enjoyed.
Great piece man.

Gsusfrk replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the words man, experience and perseverance are key aspects to improving your skills.
The beats and bass are my favorite pieces of the DnB scene. Obviously lol.
THanks for the kidns words, I'll hit a tune up.

Hey Sn, thanks for the sick words man, but would you mind clarifying... you do mean just looperman, don't you?! To put me in the league of Professional DnB producers' is a little much man, I am not that good. Though, if you really feel that way about it, thank you. This is just a hobby for, a release of stress, and I suppose that as time goes on so my skill does as well. I just love music man, apreciate it, want it, and love understanding/learning about it. Thanks again for the wicked words, mate.
I'll check out onea your tunes.

Nice. I just upgraded to Reason 5 and Record 1.5 because of your reviews. We should definitely work on a collab when I get everything installed.

Gsusfrk replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Nicely done big guy. I'm positive I'll be hearing a increased quality in your sounds. Though I do suggest checking out youtube and propellerheads.se for some very good Reason/Record tips and tricks.
How would you like to go about this? Email me and we'll get something on the road.

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
