i think it's a bad sample and you need a better one you can pimp up a snare with a lot (compression/non resonant filters/eq/verb/delay/... even phasers) but if the basic sample sucks, it stays sucking just my 2 cents ps: the reverb mark is very true, use verbs and subtile delays to create more space...

in the last few hours

16bit - some ep's
6blocc - some digital tunes
Philip Glass - Koyanisquatsi (or something like that, the soundtrack from the movie)
Jacob Miller & Augustus pablo's first lp (lost the name)

well done ...

I've been off the board for a while (busy with other stuff) and didn't make much music anymore, but i came back.

First new tune which is hopefully a new start:
Soundcloud

The one has more vocals than the other, but both come from the same cubase project, and are exactly as long, just the mix is slightly different on a request of some ppl

an excellent site: http://www.soulstrut.com/mixes/ and http://frankmcgahon.com/musicblog/category/afro-beat/

i would say sony vaio or mac. Most laptops are good for serato, but in clubs and parties it can become hot, and then the sony vaio's or mac's are the last ones to fail due to overheating.

Ok, here are the 320's: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hfjclb the .rar contains the vocal and the dubbed version in 320 kps, the tracks are registred under a Creative Common licence, but that's only to avoid that someone runs with the credits or release them without my notice (as far as it would be i...

the brass monkeys wich is New Orleans swingjazz, therefore the dubateeers (UK Steppers dub) and therefore a Bun Zero dubstep mix

Well Here in Belgium, you got different sorts of weed, hard to find homegrown but very nice stuff, hyped industrial stuff wich was forced in the growth and is sold for way to much to belgian standards (6-10€/gr), and mixed up bad quality stuff with sand, trashed glass, sugar, ... incorporated. But a...

@ the charlatan ??? never expected that they would tollerate dubstep in there. It's mostly house-electro-mashup-rock there, but i'll take a look anyway ...

in pales and cases ...

there is some logic in it, but only for me, other ppl call it a mess.

i mainly rate his older exterminator/digital b stuff (Praise Yeh Jah, Black Woman and Child, Kalonji, ...) with one exception, the Da Real Thing album on Digital B/VP records.

The more modern, grunty tunes are not often my cup of tea, there are some good, but too many bad tunes.

now playing in my winamp: M.I.A.'s album Kala

I'm a former metal/punk head and some of my favorite metal bands are Carcass Slayer Sepultura with Max Cavalera Metallica just till the Black album Iron Maiden AC/DC Creator Emperor Cradle of Filth Opeth Samael Morbid Angel Thyrfing Melechesh Celtric Frost Mayhem ... and tons of NY HC, punk and meta...
