Anyone else into these guys? Love how they put so many influences together to get such an immense, original sound.

Their new album slays.

Damn right!! 'Bought time

Guy is so varied and has so many different sounds in his arsenal..seem him play a set once too and it was fucking amazing.

Say what you what about Can Ox nowadays..that album is absolutely fucking amazing.

Massive Def Jux supporter here..love Aes, El-P and so stoked they picked up Dizzee as well. My favourite hip hop label out there.

I find the presets on Massive in particular are always too crazy to put into a track..you'll always end up taking out an oscillator or putting filters on it. Good starting point but often not terribly useful.

I'm sick of hearing Electro Bass or Draht Bass on tracks tho.

^ yeah, i'm reading the original post again and thinking tha he comes off as extremely close-minded... there's a world of recording and production outside of wobbles and sub drops.

Word. I think the electronic music community would be a better place if people embraced the world of analog ...

Mochipet has been doing it for a while..some sick ass stuff coming out nowadays.

Tape Op is the best sound engineering magazine out there. It is not designed for people who make dubstep or electronic music..you're barking up the wrong tree. The magazine has a massive amount of good information despite what you may think.

whats the sporque project?

Live electronic project between Vibesquad and Ooah from the Glitch Mob. Pretty cool shit..Aaron plays some ethnic instruments and keys and Ooah spins.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm too in total agreeance with you and think it can be really frustrating when people just think that multiband compression is the answer. Is it almost never the answer and I think most people just need to really dig deeper into how compression, EQ and even simple level ...

Some very valuable advice in here..cheers guys!

A bus is a common electrical path which many signals can be combined into. A send sends your signal elsewhere and you control how much of the signal you want to send..you have no choice with the bus.

Timestretch+Reverse+Reverb+Bus Compression

mmmm

Another way that you could try would be to use sidechain compression. You could sidechain it into compressors on competing tracks. This can sometimes be a really interesting result along with some careful EQing.
