I dont think this particular KOAN Sounds song has been posted yet.

How do you make this bass synth? Its the freshest sound Ive ever heard.

edit: @Redderious: Didnt see one of your posts. When you talk about bassnectar, can you give some examples? I'm a huge fan and I guess im a little embarrassed to say I thought wildstyle EP (at least 808, wilstyle method and Yes (although not in the EP i think) were all really good...) Even compared ...

Are there any free stem resources for remixes?

@ Tosker: Thanks for the lengthy and honest replies. Its good to get some guidance as well as your perspectives on this as I work with a small company that share a very different vision. Its basically run by this guy who made it big enough in boston to get a pretty nice stream of gigs in well known ...

I guess I could just do the spectrum analyzer... I guess I'm thinking too much into it... but whenever I make a drum pattern, shit just does NOT sound good at all. It sounds very robotic, quantized and.... well crap. I cant seem to make it sound good, let alone "realistic" Ill refer to the...

Lets say I sample the drums from Aliens by Figure. How do I know what key anything is in? (Sub, Kick, Snare, Hat, etc) Moreover, if I just take a sample from the song and am trying to layer it with drums of my own production, how do I know what key my drums are in? How do I make them fit without key...

@tosker: Now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense to go see, say Datsik, for his music rather than his mixes. Clearly, they get away with it because I recently saw Skrillex live, and he cannot mix for his life, but either the people dont care or they dont mind it. Anyway, I've been DJing for ...

Thanks Tosker for the great reply. I needed to hear this from another person because I thought I was losing my mind. I do agree with you that mixes #1 and 2, and parts of 3 all are very LINEAR (a great way to describe the mixing techniques). My questions is though, can these people, in the context o...

While working on a few mixes of my own, I have having the hardest time distinguishing between what a good and bad mix is suppose to sound like... Taking a few examples.... 1. Excision X volumes mix - I think extremely clean and crisp with good flow (I dont hear key clashes and any abrupt transitions...

Actually, on another note. Any idea how he removed the vocals from Kelis - Brave (Gemni remix)? From what I know, its virtually impossible to take out the vocals from a song unless you have the file itself.

thank you! this song would not leave my head

I heard this at his show in boston the other night. He opened with this tune and it was perfect. Anyone know whether he has a file out or whether its one of "tour arsenals"

Wow thanks for the great replies! I'll just keep trying, learning and researching. Summers coming up and I dont know what else i need to be doing. I just wanted to conceptually ground myself a bit more so I didnt feel like a space cadet trying to figure things out. Ill post my progress, but thanks i...

Hey guys, Ive DJed for a year or so but its getting stale especially because I rarely get to play music I care about, so I decided to dip my feet into producing. I know the very basics when it comes to producing, and I have myself a MPK49, ableton 8 live and Massive. Ive been experimenting for a cou...
