Damn it's been maybe 3 years since I visited your page!
Nice track, very unique,as like all your stuff it's mixed clean and sits nice
Keep doin your thing!
It's funny,as a 'producer' (popular term lol) until recently,I have never really played with distortion,cross modulation and such,damn probably 10 years of making grime beats without distortion! I say recent cos lately I've been a bit obsessed with various distortion and filter plugins lol ..it made me think 'that spivkurl geezer was right all along' lol
Ha ha, yeah, grime without distortion and filters is a bit funny, but that's from me who barely knows what grime is. Atleast I can take comfort in "geezer" meaning something slightly different in the UK, lol!
Seriously though, if you have a decent EQ, then it can be used just like other filters with some setup. Even the very basic FL "parametric EQ" (not 2, but the first one) has some great filter options and a good range... in fact it is probably better than the rest of the stock filters in FL, since they don't have a consistent cutoff range between filter types. If you start to think of EQ as filters (which they of course are), then I use filters of some sort on almost every mixer track of every DAW project.
Distortion is bit tougher in the virtual realm, which is why I stick to hardware more for that sort of sound. Even with my fairly basic modular system, tons of different styles of distortion are possible. Guitar pedals and processors are always a good option, though the noise floor makes them a bit more difficult. For one of the basses on the song I'm working on now, I use a MIDI out to control a MIDI/CV box to run a fairly basic voice on the modular. It uses one VCA, of my own design to add some nasty distortion, then a second to do the envelope shaping... then the output goes to a rack noise gate/expander, which feeds the POD 2.0 for amplifier drive and compression. The result is pretty noise free when the notes aren't on, but has massive amounts of dirty power.
Wow.. cinematic music is so hard to create,I sample it more than make cos it damn near impossible to capture that power,you got it tho so fair play! Great vocals too! Great work
Thanks man. I've had a few of my tracks described as cinematic, but I haven't consciously attempted it until now. It took a lot of experimentation and I've learned a lot in creating it. Glad you feel it was a success.
Ha ha... I guess I was pretty happy in a way, when I did this, and the influences were pretty hardcore. That park is a freakin far cry from the chill times of twenty five years ago when we all sat in a circle tripping and smoking, and discussing who got the first hit off the pipe. Life is so different now... I'm lucky if, when I go out to the parks, I do not see someone get arrested or close to a flat out battle. Life is hard all over, hence the HARD in hardcore. We'll all make it through! Thank you for listening and leaving your words! Good to hear from you!

Thanks OdotZED! Glad you liked it. This one does sound familiar to some of those old DNB tracks, so I can see why it takes you back. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment, much appreciated!
