Noob DJ Question, Please Help

I apologize in advance, I know this probably sounds very stupid, but I'm such a noob... Anyway, could someone please explain to me, what do DJs actually do during a track? I'm very new to all this, but I know that DJs make their sets, beatmatch the tunes, mix them in and out, EQ the kicks out during...

Re: DSF SAMPLE PACK COMPETITION-25

All the criticism I got production-wise probably comes from the fact that I don't have proper monitors, only headphones... They're quality, but maybe it still sounds different on your end, fuller and whatnot. Either way, gotta work on my mastering skillz :e: Keep them reviews coming!

Re: DSF SAMPLE PACK COMPETITION-25

Some stiff competition here for sure, but I think I know who to vote for :) Obviously if someone else wants to do another track-by-track I'd really appreciate it :)

Re: Alternatives to Impulse (Ableton)

Oops. I know about it, but have never used it... Should probably check out some tutorials or something. Cheers, kind of a stupid a question it was, sorry... :roll:

Alternatives to Impulse (Ableton)

Hey everyone! I'm currently using Impulse as my drum machine for most of my tracks, but the fact that you can't apply effects to individual drum sounds is obviously very limiting (I know there's some awkward way to do this, but it's cumbersome). There's also the option to just have all the drum hits...

Re: DSF SAMPLE PACK COMPETITION-25

UK Midnight? Basically, is it seconds before the 29th or not? Or was it seconds before the 28th?... Sorry, being very stupid here, but only because I'm kinda excited about this competition... Obviously no chances of winning, but what the hell :)

Not sure if it's dubstep or not, but either way, please tell me what you think :) Thank you!

By the way, all samples/edits, no synths or any other VSTs used besides effects.

UK garage 101 for teh noob

Hey everyone! I have a weird question, but please help me our here. As I've mentioned somewhere already (don't want to bore you with this every time), I'm very much a newcomer to electronic music, all of it, and having started right away from dubstep and not something else, I naturally differentiate...

Re: FX tips

Wow, cheers guys, that was amazingly helpful!!! Appreciate all the posts!! I just think that what we're talking about is what separates the masters from the rest. Face it, making a beat, putting a bassline on top and maybe a melody is quite easy nowadays, YouTube will help you. Look at me, I was a r...

Need help with sample

Hello! I have a weird problem. I was making a track and once the intro was done, I exported it as a WAV file. Recently I've discovered and quite liked it, but the problem is that I hadn't saved the live set itself, and I can't remember at all what kind of synth and settings I used. And since I wanna...

Thanks! I got the same reaction from a few people already so yeah, no more acid synths, that one was just random and maybe I was high or something, who knows... Any thoughts about the other, new one?

Love your tune!!! Very solid and atmospheric, flows nicely! I'd love a 320 actually, if that's at all possible.

Hey everyone! I'm still a total noob, but would love some feedback nonetheless! The track is just over 2 minutes long, so I'd appreciate your time and criticism. Thanks!

Need help with pads

Hey everyone, I have a problem. When I try to make a pad layer, just a looped 4 bar chord, it sounds nice apart from the fact that when it starts on 1, there's this very prominent 1st beat sound that I don't want. I want the sound to be consistent throughout, just a pad, no dynamics, no 1st bar 1st ...

Re: FX tips

Bounce as in export as audio and insert again? I keep seeing this method being mentioned everywhere, what's so good about it? Why can't I just keep on adding effects to the original file? Why export as audio and add effects to that, instead of just adding them straight away? Sorry for being a noob b...

FX tips

I know this is a very vague question, but I'd appreciate some tips nonetheless. How do you guys go about adding all these little embellishments to your tracks, like weird noises, song transitions and so forth? I'm quite comfortable with drums, bass, lead, pads and whatnot, so I can make a proper son...
