i think so... but i rarely go out anymore unless im playing or promoting

[FooSchnickens]

I never go out unless.... I just never go out :|

[darknessprevails]

love me some dubstep

[Acro]

Dubstep FTW ^.-.^ Will listen after work tomorrow when I can have my sub on *shakes fist at condos*

[FooSchnickens]

It seems more dnb/jungle than dubstep to me. The half time feel just isn't there and the bass wobble is practically non-existent. If anything I'd say it's like a minimalist jungle style.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, just sayin'

Make it nastier, people will ****in' grind.

please... explain to me me what the difference between dubstep and DNB are.... ive only been doing this for 5 years....

its a 1/2 step... that's it... i didn't use the wobble bass because, back when i first heard dubstep wobble bass didn't exist, thus im trying to find a new sound instead of the super played out wobble...

heres a screen shot of what i have to program to get the sounds i have.
this isnt a cookie cutter frooty loops track, everything in this is made and pre programmed by me..

Wobble bass has been used for more than 5 years and before dubstep gained popularity. Dubstep just slowed it down a little and used it far more frequently than typical drum and bass tracks.

To me, the downturn in DnB quality started around the time when Pendulum came on the scene and brought us to the lovely world of clownstep with Vault and of course Andy C and Shimon's Bodyrock. We lost a lot of the dark, grimey sound that I've always loved so much. I still see 1999-2003 as the best years of DnB. BSE, Nosia, Dom, etc put out some of the best DnB tracks ever during those years. I miss hearing tracks like "The Sun" or "Messiah" that give you goosebumps when they drop.

The only dubstep I've ever been able to get into is the more chill variety, the stuff that was coming out when the genre first started getting attention.

http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=15023

I've known Christine for years and she even does a live PA when she performs live. I don't know if the link on that set still works but if not, I'm sure you can find her mixes out there. Most of the more popular stuff just wears on me and sounds the same but some does have a nice beat, I just can't get into it the same way as some dark, nasty hardstep. I'm loving this ghetto-*** rapstep that a few artists are putting out lately. Not that I'll ever love it more than traditional, dark DnB but it sure is fun to listen to in the car or blasting through my headphones at work when people are pissing me off.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Foo, I've never heard this little genre. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Am I sick for wanting to hear this combined with grindcore?

[Synthmob]

Subscribed, Panda ... pretty cool. Under same name as my nick here.

Check out the couple of tracks I posted, including one I won a remix competition for a song from Dallas Austin's last CD. Its basically all 8-bit stuff from programs I used on my iPhone.

[Doppelgänger]

please... explain to me me what the difference between dubstep and DNB are....


Seriously?

[GraffitiPanda]

Seriously?

This is sarcasm...

And I just don't like when people try to tell ME about my own music, critique don't tell me I don't know what I made.

Now Jen... Have you heard chase and status? Maybe future prophecies? Sub focus? Or more like Black sun empire?

[GraffitiPanda]

It jut seems like if you like electronic music you do or you don't there is no in between, I'm just tired of people botching that the music was better way back when... I own synth records, if you knew anything about the past of "techno" you'd be thanking the gods for giving us the ability to find music in it....

Unless u wanna discuss modular setups from like 86 then quit *****ing, all electronic music is better than ever and is only getting better.

3 years ago 99% of people I know wouldn't know who the hell or what the hell a Deadmau5 is, but because he worked his *** off for his gimmick and promotion that he brought it to the MTV generation. I'm always 1 step ahead so I never feer getting annoyed with the "new" genres.

[JennB]

Heard of them all and have been aware of them all for years. Chase and Status has gotten so popular over the past few years. I can't say I like them though. Weird to hear them on the radio when I'm in the UK.


As for critiquing, I agree with Foo. Relax a little about input, people aren't always going to agree with you.

This better not be directed at me. Seriously, relax or I'm just not even going to bother trying to discuss something I know far more about than you can imagine. I know plenty about the past of techo, house, trance, DnB, etc. I have jungle records that are older than people on this forum.

People have opinions. I like dark drum and bass that isn't as easy to find these days. Does this effect you? Nope.

not directed twords you... i have this going on a few forums and people keep saying "yeah but this stuffs to popular now"... really? so if johnny cash was popular that would make his music bad?

[JennB]

A lot of times when things get popular, they get diluted. When everyone starts getting into and trying to make a certain genre, there is more quantity than quality. Not to say there isn't good stuff being made in popular genres but you definitely have to look deeper to find it. I mean look at some of the highest charting DnB tracks of all times... things like Bodyrock or Twist Em Out. My god, they're awful! But there were hundreds of awesome DnB records released that year.

and all im saying to you is, its still there, your not looking in the rite places. we have had this discussion before jen, I'm just trying to figure out what you consider dark? because dark was all ways classified by ambient down tempo melody with an in your face drum line, backed by a heavy distorted bass line IMO.

i cant diss someone for liking EDM... unless its trance... thats nap time music.

im just trying to open a few more ears to dubstep and DNB, as ill be doing quite a few shows over the next few months and i want to see if people would like to hear more of MY stuff, because im hoping to have at least 12 tracks done before my first show.

my dream with my partner is to play a full set of our 1-off tracks. heres a sample of his work.

And you still don't know the difference? It took me all of 2 tracks to figure that out.

Kudos for wanting to try something new, but really all you've done is set the wayback machine for about 2001 when the bassline was little more than a modified sine wave or sub drop. Problem is, most people don't remember dubstep's birth back in the UK garage days and are more in tune to what it is now. Your track definitely has that garage feel to it, but it's still too up-tempo. Take a peek at this Kode9 track, you'll see what I mean.

I think you're confusing FL with cakewalk/garageband. FL has never been "cookie cutter", even all the way back to v3.x when I first discovered it in '01. FL 9 has been surprising me more and more every time I use it, there's SO much functionality in here that I'll probably never learn how to fully utilize (especially if I never have time to dedicate to it because of my ****ty job).

One of the all time greats. I have that record upstairs.




back in the UK garage days


Ahhhh guilty pleasures. I loved me some Speed Garage about a decade ago. As for other UK garage, I won't lie, I'd still get down to to Craig David and Artful Dodger.

reason 5 and ableton 8 FTW...

that first comment was sarcasm, i used a 1/2 step to prepare my first track, so therefore the classification would be dubstep...

another question would be what kind of speakers do you have and is your computer tuned for the frequencies i have in that first track... because what i love about it is the bass i put at the same pulse you feel in your chest so when on some live speakers soul seaker would be one hell of a bass raping track...

Laugh as you may...but the sound I prefer is something like....(this coming from someone who up until recently didn't care much for electronic music.)
