sh*t… beat me to it

His stuff sounds great. Slightly squashed mind you

But unfortunately a lot of the sounds in there are reprocessed samples from skrillex songs and also 'synth' sounds from the 'VA' sample packs. Easily cut a sound from a skrillex track, and whack it into kontakt.
Of course i'm not saying 'Sampling is wrong!', sampling is absolutely fantastic, but when sampling something and then using it in the same context, I don't agree with at all. Kinda putting a middle finger up at the other producers who spend hours creating a bass sound.

What... no... really?

You recon he sliced them out of a Skrillex tune [or whatever]?

Sampling is okay to a point... if he engineered them himself then good man because he's nailed it.
If they're sampled...

[arkade978]

I'm not saying everything is sampled, but yes a lot of samples have been used.

zomboy's tune 'dirty disco' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVn7CVvIKW8 @ 0.51 he has sampled the 'roaawr' sound from Skrillex's La roux remix and bulked it down 2 semitones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emu0vQ4bUiw @ 1.36
I didn't find this out by the way, I saw someone posted it on youtube. There are some other examples, but i'm not going to trape through a load of skrillex tunes finding time locations

But then listening to his tunes like 'P.A.R.T.Y' i just find it odd where you have all of these amazing sounds throughout the song, and then you come to '3.46' where a very kinda basic wobble comes in which you can tell he has made, but i don't know, sounds a bit odd.

Anyway I'm not hating, he is a talented songwriter, and has/will probably blow up, just me personally I don't agree with his techniques, and I'm sure a lot of other producers won't either. But he makes good listening

I have Josh (Zomboy) on facebook so I'll find out.

I tried to get him to help me make the 'skrillex gargle' but he said something like 'no, that's my sound... If I tell you how to make it everyone will sound like me'.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA...etc, aha

Either way he is a soulless being, copying another soulless being. The outcome will never be good...

In fact if he sampled them, he would of shown some intelligence, because he is going to end up with the same either way so why not???

So he would be a intelligent soulless being, not a stupid soulless being, thats got to be better right???

If you want to sound like skrillex, just sample him ffs, save yourself some time, and effort.

Fucking zomboy fuck out of here.

Originality is the aspect of created or invented works by as being new or novel, and thus can be distinguished from reproductions, clones, forgeries, or derivative works.[citation needed] An original work is one not received from others nor one copied based on the work of others.[citation needed]. It is a work created with a unique style and substance. The term "originality" is often applied as a compliment to the creativity of artists, writers, and thinkers.[citation needed] The idea of originality as we[who?] know it was invented by Romanticism,[1] with a notion that is often called romantic originality.

I'm glad you find this amusing..Just because I'm curious and I want to know what he and pretty much all other dubstep producers are using doesn't make me unoriginal and it doesn't mean that I want to copy their sound/style if that's what you were implying, because I am JUST curious.

Fyi I've got mad respect for all of the producers that you "Bigupped"

Are you Josh's flatmate Skit? + Do you live in Guilford?

I'm pretty sure if he was playing the Ministry he would be hyped and not in the mood to go into producing techniques. ;L

[SKITSTEP]

No that was his other roommate at the time harry. Im Skit and I can tell you zomboy doesnt sample other peoples basses its not that hard to make skrillex scary monsters type roar's. I got pretty close with automating the carbon waveforms in massive and using some simple distortion , band pass filters and wow filter by sugarbytes.

Is there any different in sampling it, and making some thing totally the same as it?
I will answer that with my other post in this thread

Zomby


More ZOMBY!!!!



FUCK DUBSTEP (what it has become)


We just need more Zomby, un-ban the prick

[jrisreal]

Seems to me that there are only 5 possibilities in a situation like this.

- Skrillex gave Zomboy his presets.
- Zomboy gave Skrillex his presets.
- Zomboy sampled from Skrillex.
- Skrillex sampled from Zomboy.
- Skrillex is Zomboy.
