Colors (Keegan B Remix) - Tritonal

Hi everybody, I'm doing the remix competition for Tritonal's Colors on Beatport, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a listen to my song which can be found at the link below. Also if you enjoy it and have a Beatport account, and wouldn't mind voting then you should do so! http://play.bea...

Re: Any certain recommendations on Logic Pro's reverb

Space Designer is insane. The possibilities are limitless. It has a really muddy low end (as most reverbs do) so I usually apply a high pass at ~300hz on the FX chain and apply it to the sound I want using a send bus. For percussion and such, I use dryer "plate" settings and tweak them to ...

Re: Making drum loops/looped one shot samples sound "real"

If you want to hear how my parallel compression & wet sends sound there's a link in my sig. I think I need to load my samples into the sampler to get them on the piano roll and mess with this velocity thing

Re: Making drum loops/looped one shot samples sound "real"

Thanks a bunch man, that limiter stuff sounds really interesting, I'm gonna have to play around with it. As far as reverb/delays go I usually use them on a totally separate send and hipass it to avoid that low end mud anyway, and use a very minimal amount on my kick.

Re: Making drum loops/looped one shot samples sound "real"

mate for starters im against pre made loops, use a sequencer and make your own beats. if youre looking for that more professional sound on your drums and your samples lack definition, look up and learn parallel processing/mixed bus compression/new york compression (theres 3 names for the same techn...

Making drum loops/looped one shot samples sound "real"

I've been focusing really hard in my productions to get my drum beats/loops as on point as a lot of signed artists' tunes, and for some reason, certain things are just escaping me. I spend a lot of time utilizing compressors properly and in parallel, adding the right effect chains, equalization, and...

"Really mediocre". Tell that to the beatport charts. It's catchy, no point in questioning that. Is it revolutionary? Fuck no. Did he do a good job on it considering the genre? Yes. Can't argue with that. Were you expecting amazingly advanced production techniques in bigroom house? I wasn'...

I'm extremely unimpressed. The mix down is so weak in this track compared to the professional standard, if I, or about 50% of the people on this forum, had the kind of training and equipment he has had we'd be so much farther than this. You don't need a lot of equipment to distort a vengeance percu...

Re: Why orchestra doesn't need mixing?

Instrument design, idiomatic composition, arrangement and acoustic design of concert halls means it sounds right live with no amplification . I imagine a recording to be a pretty big task but mainly based in an understanding of how the orchestra works in a room. Has anyone here ever done it? Record...

Re: How to make this 'bubbling' pad sound? - snakehips track

If you're using NI massive to recreate this it's a square wave, mess with a performer on the pitch (I'd say down ramp envelopes at 12 or 24 on the pitch), light application of sample and hold insert, and a delay effect set to some form of triplet division.

Re: A cappellas (vocal only tracks)

Pretty sure there is a thread for this already but: http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/ All songs don't have acapellas available online though, of course. If it's not a VERY big artist, you can try messaging them and/or their manager, politely asking if you can have the acapella and explain why. Oh snap ...

Re: Dillon Francis's Sound design

Try using the digital/hybrid wave tables in massive on bend-/+ to recreate his heavier bass noises, that will usually gets around the same sort of initial sound. From there u can add filtering or distortion to taste. Most of the motion in his tracks comes from pitch and melody and really heavy side ...

it's a formant laser synth wobble layered with a midrangey saw synth.

Pro tip, if you're missing out on certain frequencies in your synth patch, layer it with another synth patch that hits those frequencies
