WTF, Noisia's drums are too much

[Wrigzilla]

Hmmm

Sample selection helps and if you get the layering right you'll end up with some well fat sounding individual hits. Side chaining as well (keep it subtle!) will help make the kick and snare punch through. Also transient designers are awesome in keeping the decay of hits under control. Noisia make dnb so chances are no or just a little bit (tiny amount) or a very short reverb on the drums.

Now what I've found is that multiple stages of gentle distortion and compression make things sound fatter than one stage of heavy distortion and compression. I don't do this myself but my housemate get some good results doing multiband distortion/compression on the drums.

They sound the same as 99% of DnB producers drums.

They have good monitors and pick good samples that fit.

Are you joking??? Jog on
Noisia have some of the most diverse and original sounding drum patterns and production to date. This along with the lifted music crew.

I was talking about the sound hits, not patterns.

Their drums dont sound that different. They use some nice distortion on everything but nothing new.

I dont like it tbh. I think it sounds overproduced and too digital but thats just me.

Amazing noisia tunes that arent dnb-









And some dnb tunes

[serox]

I am glad you like their music but I dont like it one bit. Not a single thing. In fact, I had to turn some of those tracks off real fast becuase they are that horrible, to me.

Sounds way to digital and over produced.

they're similar to chase & status in my mind-- popular for 1 thihng, sure, but they've got a back catalog of breaks, house, liquid d&b... what's their liquid alias again? in fact i think 'they' have the tune on the flip of brainstitch. i'd check but my records are all the way across the room....

DRIFTER, that's the one i was thinking. thx DH

[cloak and dagger]

I've actually only liked one Noisia tune to date: Cloudshine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xn3SVr5rNQ

Everything else to me just sounds like soulless, overproduced cheese to be honest, Spor more so...they're definitely talented, but none of it grabs me. Definitely can't hate on them though, they're doing really well doing what they love! Wish I was in their shoes

[yellowhighlighter]

i like noisia and spor, but i can understand how some people would dislike them. different people like different things.

Cold Veins


The Distance


Omissions


Infusion (w/ Black Sun Empire)




Not really sure about the comments about "too digital"? It was written on a computer, what do you expect.
No such thing as over-produced IMO, people just think when something has a ridiculous big dancefloor mixdown that it is "overproduced", I don't get it, it was written for the dancefloor.
Anyway, enough rant from me, check out these deeper tunes they're awesome.

I've sat down in the lab with one of the guys and watched how they do drums...

was truly great to watch martyn in the studio...

And you!??? geeerrrttt oouuuuttt of heeerreeee

Haha! Yeah man. Not to mention Phace & Misanthrop, Evol Intent, umm a few others, Sookie, jog my memory, what other masterclasses have we had?

"Overproduced" doesn't mean "too dancefloor." It means that the production on the track overwhelms the elements of the tune to the point that it takes away from the tune and it's worse off for it. This can be in regards to many things, like melody, dynamics, groove, structure, and the listening experience itself. If you think there's absolutely no way this can ever happen, then I'm not really sure what to tell you though; it happens in a lot of different genres and is a pretty commonly-used term.

[boot]

I've always disagreed with that term. I've found it usually seems to be used in the case of tracks with a huge dancefloor mixdown (e.g. Noisia's dancefloor orientated stuff) by people who don't like that type of music.

[yellowhighlighter]

btw i thought it was pretty much accepted that most drum n bass is over produced.

it's just artists favouring technical ability over creative ability.

it's just artists favouring technical ability over creative ability.

IMO with electronic music these things are one and the same

Yeah I agree I mean a good "creative" idea that is produced horribly is just as bad as a shiny turd. You really have to have both to make a jem imo.

I ain't gonna lie I am a Noisia fan. Admittedly I am a bit behind on their music. Big blank spot for the last 4 years as I needed a long vacation from all things dnb. I have quite a few 12s with their name on it tho.
