on It's Time by Mad4reason
You ever listen to Throbbing Gristle? There last 2 albums - 'For those who do knot' especially, might really appeal to you. You're touching on styles and textures I've knot heard in many a moon. This is one of the more brilliant tracks I've heard on looper.

Absolutely.

Hey! No..never heard of them..thank you..will check them out..This version is the very cut down version of it as it was too large a file for Looperman! ;-( It was about 10 minutes long..
Had fun making it..especially the guitar solo I played on keys using Reason..cool..Cheers! Don

on Deeper by Mad4reason
Please tell me you're entering that ambient remix competition for MYSHT. You'll kill that mix! I haven't really been listening to your tracks, and I'm sorry for that... You have some really great ideas that I'd love to steal, remake and sell to the world for a gazillion dollars.

please.

Hey Jahknow!
If you make a remix of my tracks..give me credit please! AND...if you make gazillions, a small cut would make me happy!
Maybe a collab sometime?
Thanks for all your comments!

on Walk Away by Mad4reason
Ok Mad4, when you wanna break into dub. You have some mad skills in the mastering and overall 'chill out-ness' of the tune. I wanna make a big beat dub style march with you.

Lovin it. At least you didn't use the auto tune to fix crappy vocals. You actually DID sing here. props my friend!

on The Blues by Chud37
Were you working on a face melter a la Curtamos? Cuz this ripped it up. I'm thinking that with some eq'ing a sub mixing you can add a dropped osc to that bass line in places to make it just rumble the hell outta some shit!

title: Blood is the New Black

just a thought

on GRIMEY *ROUGH* by ABSTRACTDUB
Yuh oughta put this in Grime. It's pretty sweet what you did. The sub bass freqs are done well. I hear one or two clipping points in that drop bass sound, but overall it comes through pretty well.

I'm hearing an extended mix coming (I hope). Right after the Let's get Grimey shout out, I wanna hear some super bangin' double time snare or somethings kinda hyper. this has some potential!

Don't know what to say about this, but I must've liked it. Great use of some 8bit sounds. Vocals are smooth. Bass is thumpy. Pretty dope dude.

on We Shall Go On to the End by FallingFrogs
Remaster this one too and put into the dubstep genre. mUCH MORE STRAIGHT FORWARD AND RUFF THAN JUST DUB. wITH SOME TOUCH UPS THIS TRACK COULD MELT A FACE OR TWO.

Like the double bass line. Play on that even more and get it really stepping in double time. I wanna hear the groove develop more.

Bass is clipping again though.

on Pick Up the Phone by FallingFrogs
Not what I'd call dub really, more of a glitch step sound to me, but what's a genre right?

Anyways, check the levels on your bass hits, they are clipping out all over the place.

I do like those flute lines quite a bit.

on Polyglot Pidgin by n0mad23
Here's an inspiration. Find and listen to The Orb - Orblivion CD. This has soooo many of the same sorta qualities in it. Trance and not trance, ambient but much more 'on the ground'.

I'm gonna DL this and do a Jah Know special on it. Lemme know if you want to work up this idea any further as it has an interesting dubby feel init.

Time for a bass line!

on Chawamblew! by krunchie
Pretty good deal here. Go with what Chud said in th composition aspect. Maybe double up the bass track with a 2nd eq on it to emphasize a sub range.

Maybe bring another detuned osc pitched up +12 on the 2nd drop.

werd up.

on Polyglot Pidgin by n0mad23
Brother this goes in dub. trust me! Every bit of this was a dub track. The usage of the samples the play on delay and reverb etc. Straight trance dub in my books.

AND, you could totally cut that groove up and make it evolve in and out of a deep thumpy jungle bassline along with some marchy snare work. Lovin' it quite a lot, but brings in the sub bass tones and cracks here and there for accent.

Oh no! I think all my stuff here is trance dub. It's funny I'd log in to find this - I was just playing around with some Reggaeton Dembow samples to see if this was the solution. Breaking it up as per your suggestion might be the key. Sweet. Thanks for response.

on Make Dub not Warz by Chud37
Yo Chud don't go back yet. You know Jah loves the dubstep you're doin' and this is a fun exploration into melodic dub, But don't stop here. Roots stppers need you.

Lemme give a lil breakdown on the diffs between straight reggae and dub. The reggae beats are for the most prominent through both. A dubplate )back in the day) was simply the original A side single cut remixed in the studio by the stdio engineer. (Tubby, jammy, mad prof, etc.) who knew how to use the mixing board as a tool to create elaborate effect mixes , usually without the lyrics or a sparce mix of them.

It really kinda depends on the straight forwardness of the sounds. Dubs use l a r g e sounds and effects like analog reverbs, choruses, phasers and of course delays. Those are the big four. There are some super good genre crossing dubs out their that bridge several of our favs - dubstep, stepper dub, tranec dub - and wonky. Love it.

I'd say if you were gonna dubstep this track in it's instrumentation, the basic bassline could use the grit, and probably the piano as well. Good go though and please make another one. I'll mix it if you waan.

on "Raining In London" BeanutStyle by beanut
Werd em up! Man how'd you do this? It's spastically chilled out and ripper all at the same time. Fantastic.
beanut
beanut replied Unknown
well the main thing i did, was i went into the guitar sample and stretched it vert' and horiz' so I could see the most pronounced notes or strums. Then I erased the begining and the end of each note and anything inbetween so their was no attack or cutoff really.Then i could virtualy compose with the reamining notes and strums. I butchered anything soft or slow, it was the only way it would work. Then i figured out what each key was and or how many steps it raised or dropped and and coppied the new rhythm with what ever sounds i chose. That was the foundation and the rest was being creative with the "bells and whistles" and where i thought they should go. U should listen again though cuz the intro has a lot of new samples that added a much stronger vision of what my idea was. I've changed and uploaded several times since the first, It's a work in progress. Thankx 4 ur review. I'll be the first to admit it is kinda cheezy but i live 4 cheez. LOL

Music IS the best way to purge it out! I'm glad to hear you're over it. Now keep making teh musics. :D
