this is dope man, thanks alot for sharing.

since were all skrillexed out in this thread i have a question for ANY PRODUCERS who know what there doing when writting a track. how do you go about making your track glitchy/techy like skrillex is doing. im not trying to ask so i can write the same songs as skrillex (cause thats fucking lame) i just want to improve my all round production. please share.

i had good results with this... i also added an instance of bifilter in middle of the processing chain, vintage warmer at the end, then slammed it thru the waves L3.

its just tedious audio editing. there are lots of ways.. here are a few diff ways i do things (im a protools/logic user btw, doesnt matter tho)

- bounce a 1-2 bar loop at the end of a phrase down to an audio file (drums/synths/fx/whatever)
- take that loop into FL and use dblue glitch to mangle it. (can also do ableton and use the beatrepeat type plugs as well)
- bounce out 3-7 different versions of your edited loop.
- import the new edited loops back into you main session on a new track.
- cut them up into smaller pieces and make fills out of them

- make sure you drop out the rest of the elements in your track where you are using your edited fills, otherwise they wont have the same effect (the space/silience in the edits is as important as the edits themselves)
- to get cleaner sounds/edits.. before you bounce that first loop.. you need mute any elements that have reverb or delay, mute the subs, and if there is any processing on the master out, I bypass them.. then when you bring the edited versions back in you can unmute and fade/filter any reverb/delay/subs around the edits...

this is time consuming as shit. and there is certainly a process involved in learning to edit like this...

i typically do some quick edits as im building a track, but i do most of my glitching/editing as one of the final stages of a track.

hope that helps.

thanks man! when you say bounce down like 3-7 version of the loop on beat repeat do i just mess around with all of them and pick the best one or what

[taylorgittin]

sounds good!

yeah just make a bunch of different random versions by tweaking diff parameters to get different effects... i use dblue glitch or effectrix more than the built in ableton stuff but its the same no matter how you do it.. you are just creating a bunch of randomly edited loops.. and then you are gonna cut them up edit further once they are back in the session.

how are you guys hearing the sound? Every time I look at this thread (many times) the sound is unavailable and i go to the OP's page and its not even there.

[oprs]

your not holding your mouth right
gotta open it fer skrillexs peen to go in
then you can accept the sound

[Rubik]

When it bones to cutups and general beat editing there's no substitute for time and patience. Well nearly. I do most of my edits manually but I don't hesitate to set up a few cut patterns on the grossbeat (fl) and quick it on the master effects channel so that everything glitches identically. Saves me a lot of time (used to write 300 or so pattern glitch hop and drill n bass. Took so fucking long to complete a tune)

I cant hear it either but i followed the directions and boom pretty much the same sound

[bRRRz]

I just had a shot at it without the tutorial and I gotta admit it was fun trying to nail that sound.

Anyway here it is:

[krz9000]

i made a quick tutorial video since i was asked to do one yesterday. im pretty sure there's nothing new to you guys but maybe it still helps someone creating that kind of sound



i tried to make it clear that the original reverse engineering was done by the OP. pls let me know if there is something i can improve.

[ShadowMachine]

ahahahahaha I DED DET!!!

but I will say, whats posted here gives you a near to sound, but if you add 2 more things (hint: there ableton plugins) youll get it bang on as I did

[Kombatant]

So you'll learn from the tutorial but you won't share how you processed it from there?

[ChadDub]

Lolz.

Soundcloud

I just fucked around with shit, and bounced out probably like 8 times or something. Was just messin around.

Oh, and I didn't use any synthesizers, just samples.

Hey guys, the original track that I used this scatta bass in is now available for free download if you're interested. http://soundcloud.com/phallic-mcdynamit ... eetles-320
