Fit Like! Far Hiv Ye Bin? Izotope Relay will give U that space you need.
I have been experimenting with Valhalla Supermassive for the depth side of things. But I like the mix actually as it is and I am not sure that will improve what you are going for. There is a bit of Eno-Fripp feel going on. (Index of metals era). Bonnie tune mate!
Thanks for your comms, Actually this track means more to me cuz it was one of my Dad's favs that I produced, I miss him terribly but glad you enjoyed this track too
Just read BOD's synopsis, and totally concur. this is a great example of filtered deep house. But also as a cool background at a trendy 5star hotel bar. The bass is the star in this track. This is the kind of song that lifts your spirits and makes u feel better after you have listened to it. great job on this one, sad I missed it when it came out!
In response to BOD's comment, I completely agree with you on your approach. My music theory prof used to say learn the rules, then break them all you want. As long you can explain why you did it and it makes musical sense. This makes musical sense, good work.
Thanks for listening mate and the warm feedback - and btw Ive equally learned a lot from your many posts and tips and willingness to share your knowledge and experience
Dark and foreboding, just how I like it. There is still room for dubstep to become more creative. After disco was emaciated and popized by the rec companies. It fell deep underground in Chicago, Detroit New York, Berlin, London, and Manchester. It became a whole other animal. You are at the forefront of being that innovator mate! Do it!!
Man, if I thought I had any impact on the direction of dubstep, I totally would. But I know my fame goes no further than the featured list on Looperman. And even then, it's faded from what it was back in the day. Nah, I just make wubby bass tracks with a metalhead background. When I can actually get into it, that is. I've been having a hard time staying with a track long enough to see it through. I have about 40 starts, and none finished in the last year. Everything from metal to cinematic, to dubstep, to some freaky ass industrial noise experimentation shit.
Anyhow, one of these days maybe, huh?
As always Mr. C. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your take on things.
very chill, beautiful meditating sounds. I like the percussions Grandfather's clock-like precision. For some reason, this reminded me of a Japan (David Sylvain) tune but I really couldn't reference it. Good Tune!
very cool, 1:16 is an awesome reverse sound. I like how you repeat the lyrics, but filter them. great use of the studio as an instrument mate, well done.
Hej, Rått. Impressive tune. As the Stanley Cup playoffs are getting deep here in Canada I could hear this tune used as a highlight reel song on Hockey Night in Canada, which is a real honor here. I really like how you use the bass line to anchor minor 7th chords on the guitar strums and picks to really create the gravitas and raw meat of the tune. And the breakdown with the piano was sublime and so tasteful. I really enjoyed my listen tonight both as a punter and as a musician for two entirely different reasons. Well done.
Thank YOU, sir! Realy means a lot from you. I was super dissapointed when leafs were kicked off, Flames are preatty surprising this season. Thanks again!
Thank you, Crucethus. Modern, yes. Contemporary, no. But at least I'm still hanging on. I have a line in one of my songs that goes, "One thing to know about me, I just keep going." And it's true! Thanks you as always for your support.
So from a mastering point of view, I would go back and put Fab Filter,s Saturn, and use the warm tube amp on the guitars to soften the sound and soften the plate reverb. Otherwise cool and nice work. I've been watching the new episodes of Kids in the Hall on Amazon prime and their theme song has that awesome surf sound.
You guys are being too nice on this one. It's not good to encourage me, you know. Consider yourselves warned. I may do something REALLY ridiculous.
Thank you thank you thank you for this comment and all the comments throughout the years.
Well now, It's interesting to hear someone is still doing Dubstep. This is sweet. The beginning actually has a reggae feel, so you're touching close to the early dubstep roots, but then it has that Skrillex bro-step feel that many of us quickly got tired of. I think, If you keep melding the original roots of the genre (circa 2001-2004)you will find artistic bliss. the sound engineering was not bad. what DAW do you use?. good work overall
Thats exactly what im going for! Ive notice that alot of people missed skrillex's 2014-2016 dubstep. so im just trying to either try and fill the place that skrillex sort of left or be known for that specific style :) and far as people getting tired of the brosteppy feel i agree i got tired listening to the same old beat style...but just like fashion cycling its self every decade so does music genres, and i intend to be there when it happens to bro step :) and i use Fl Studio kind sir!
I got a real "Sympathy for the devil" vibe from this one. it's a good tune, as Ben has stated it's in the mix, levels, and finally the mastering where you need this song to be elevated to the rightful lofty status it deserves. I need those vocals brought up louder. the only reason they are not is that you probably don't feel comfortable yet singing. This is where a taskmaster producer comes in handy kicking you in the gonads to bring that sound up. I would also bring aboard some Ozone 9 from Izotope to widen the mix with the relay, especially with those guitars. and maybe subtly add in Valhalla Supermassive for some space. Right now it sounds like a proper 4 track demo made in a basement. I can't wait to hear what ben does with it. If you need another perspective I can always lend a hand as well.
Good work.
Steven
Thanks a lot Steven! The Stones and especially SFtD are some of my favourites, so I'll take that :)
You're right about the vocals, both regarding the mix and the confidence, and yes I'll work on both.
I'm very interested in the tools you mention, so I'll give those a try :)
And thank you for offering your help! You bet I will take you up on that, always much appreciate your work and help matey!!
Chicago, sigh. It's been 1993 since I have been there. I think You captured it. And you have such talented production help. I love that percussion at 2:13 on. Amazing song and sound, well-done mate!
You're right, I guess If we were out there in an uncontrolled way, we'd be lost in space.
Thank you so much for listening - we're glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers,
Micky
Very upbeat melody. nice chord structure with that 7th put in there on the 7th bar.. What I would love to hear are some more intricate percussions and some build-up. Right now its a pretty straightforward house tune that has a lot of potentials to build on. So keep on this one mate, it's good, just needs some more variety.
cool, nice asymmetrical pong on the snare. Great frequency spread on the mix as well. Synth pads are ethereal. Nice build of synths at the end to bring together the whole piece. Nice work!

At first I read "1933", I was going to say "Damn, you're really old). Then I saw "1993" and I said "Damn I'm really old). LOL.
I tell Mark all the time he sounds just like he's playing a real Drum set. There is no difference between what he does live or in a DAW. He's amazing.
Thanks for stopping by and giving the track a listen and for the encouraging comments.
Hope we didn't disappoint you.
PEACE from the South East...
