Dom wrote:what keys do you produce in?

normally around D to G, apparently A is best
i dont really set out to make anything in any key really, just ends up that way

i go by what sample i want to use more than anything, if i find a good vocal for a loop i usually change the key of the tune to fit it

cheers guys! holy hell, together tore up dmz last week! who played it? Im sure it was LD, well if it wasnt then it was definately loefah or mala. But im pretty sure it was LD, was standing right at the front. Massive reaction and sounded phat on the system. Nearly got a second reload. im pretty sur...

djfoster wrote:release date?

nothing 100% but i imagine around march/april????

How long have you been producing for ? How long did it take you to create tracks that you felt were worthy of releasing and playing out ? Have you got any advice for young DJ's ? This is very big btw, big up Breakage ! been making tunes since i was about 12ish, got my own setup and started to take ...

Johnny Beat wrote:If you had to choose how to implement a kick and a bass, knowing that you can go either way, what would you do? Sidechain or eq? Mega kick with mega bass or mega bass with a lighter kick?

erm... i have no idea what that means lol

more bass every time!

for masters i dont add anything to the overall mixdown, no eq, no compression or limiting This is for vinyl, yeah? Meaning you just keep it all natural and let them do their work with a clean slate? yeah... i think Beau said it best when he told me "whats better? T-Racks and some sequencer/ so...

i hoping this hasnt been asked yet, i did read through most of what has been asked and answered! what advice have you got for up and coming/new producers? best thing i could say is dont just send stuff out, wait... you want to wow dj's, other producers and labels straight off the bat also, find you...

And yet again you make killer tunes! You bastard! :lol: Since you said you love mixing stuff down, how do you go about a typical mixdown session? Where do you start and so on? i always start by mixing down roughly as i go along then once the tune is done i wipe the mixer of all eq's and compressors...

Any typical way of processing bass sounds or just whatever floats the bass's boat? just a sub, sometimes i use the reece from torrorist or distort the sub in a separate channel for a bit of mids... but for the main part thats about it... i'm no good at processing really, all the osc's, lfo's and am...

When you produce, when do you use a subwoofer for monitoring purposes? Do you just turn it on to check how the low end sits in the mix, or do you leave it on the whole time? What kind of montiors and sub do you use? dont realy have a sub woofer at all i dont have monitors either, never have really ...

Do you practice scales and chords or do you play by ear? I was wondering if you could please tell me what the relative scale is to the G phrygian mode? It would be a big help to me in creating that eastern feel, and hopefully making lots of money! Ha ha! I am like soooo your biggest fan of all time...

And what artists would you wanna work with, if any.. be it electronical or not Oh and the DLX remix was my tune of 08 - biggest dubstep tune since Anti War Dub when i have a creative block i normally...

So, knowing that you use Logic, and the above post about using the ESX24 for your sub's quite often, do you use the ESM or ES2, and if so - any tips on using them? I am new to production & have been using the ES2 quite a bit as it seemed the most relevant for getting twisted bass sounds out of,...

Johnny Beat wrote:Any little bits of advice on hihat and percussion programming?

erm... just make them interesting, try and make it play off or fight with the main beat

thats about as much as i do to the percussion really lol

firstly, thank you for making awe inspiring beats what do you use for your subs i.e. specific source samples or vsti s? do you have any bass compression/distortion tips or could you name a plug which you often use on your sub bus? most of the time i just use an empty instrument from the EXS24 and m...

Do you produce other genres apart from dnb and dubstep? If so what and.. Since making dubstep has it made you look at DnB producing different and do you use a lot of DnB processes for your dubstep or have you sort of developed your own style for both? Also have you had any formal training be it for...
