mean iDeaL - Killing you dJently (Metalstep!)

Here's something a little different I decided to experiment with. For those not in the know it's a silent "d" at the beginning of dJent(ly). All guitars by me.

Enjoy :twisted:

mean iDeaL - Desolate

Having recently listened to my previous tracks I've not been too happy with how they came out. With this new track I've attempted to correct a few of the production and compositional issues with my previous tracks, and I personally think I've got a much better sounding track :) I'm really happy with...

Re: mean iDeaL - Drop kick (Quirky Dubstep)

Thanks for the tips, I'm currently trying more drum variation with a new track I'm working on. I think I'll be able to slowly break those old habits :)

Re: mean iDeaL - Drop kick (Quirky Dubstep)

Heh, I generally do use the same beat throughout the whole track for most of my stuff :D Thanks for listening :D I used to record all my beats from my synth, so they were all audio, but I'm trying to move away from that and using midi programmed beats now, to force myself to stop using the same beat...

Here's another new track I finished a few days ago. This one has a quirky vibe, but other than that I'm not sure how to classify it :D

Re: mean iDeaL - Planetary Lock (Deep Ambient Dubstep)

Thanks a lot for listening and thanks for the comments :) I personally wouldn't have thought of this as a minimal track, but fair enough :D. I'm personally happy with the length of this track. I do prefer the more chilled out progressive vibe, but I do feel that not all my tracks need to be this lon...

Re: mean iDeaL - Prosphetic (Electro House)

That's fair enough, but thanks for listening and commenting :)

I think I know what you bean by the catching up critique though; a lot of this was actually played by hand, and it's been a while since I last played keyboards, so I guess I'm still a little rusty :D

Re: Building my set for LIVE performance- advice/tips!?

Having a real drummer is the ultimate win IMO, however it does also add a lot more complications (I believe the OP mentioned some of those). I always like the idea of having a fully live Drum & Bass/Dubstep BAND, where there are no backing tracks at all and everything is played by people. Hopefu...

Re: Building my set for LIVE performance- advice/tips!?

This is something I always think about and I'd love to buy loads of gear to do a proper live show. A possible idea is to have Ableton running on the laptop for the backing track, and then just selectively mute whatever you'll be performing live. I'm not too clued up on Ableton, so I'm not sure exact...

Re: Zillion - Come Back To Me (Dark: Free DL)

Really liking the dark vibe on this. It does sound a bit busy and chaotic, but then I get the impression that this is how it's supposed to sound. I like it. Then again, I am into lots of crazy dark shit :D

Re: Paul Dymond - Horse

The track as a whole is sounding pretty good with some nice melodies, however the main bass line sounds a bit underwhelming IMO - maybe try dirtying it up with a bit of distortion and having it a bit louder in the mix? Aside from that, nice work :)

Re: Un3arth-Dare (Original Mix)

This is a really cool track, nice work, I really like it :) The productions sounding really clear and I'm loving the progression of the track. My own production skills seem inferior compared to this :D

mean iDeaL - Prosphetic (Electro House)

I recently finished an Electro House track (my very first attempt at this this style) and I'm just looking for opinions and thought's on the production and general song structure/idea's. I'm really happy with how the tack came out, but I'm interested to know what other people think. http://soundclou...
