Britney Spears masterclass?

Hey guys,

Hopefully Britney chills on these forums so she can answer this, maybe do a Q&A for us....but I was just wondering how she got her distinct and original sound....



Probably hours spent tediously experimenting with modular synths and some heavy duty resampling.

Does anyone know if she uses MASSIVE? I wonder what DAW she's most comfortable with....

Any advice would be great as I totally wanna be filthy rich like Britney someday....


...

I'm gonna go away and write 100 or so pop songs using lame pick-up lines as the basis for the hook.

This shit makes 'Slave 4 U' era Britney seem like the halcyon days of pop music.

Yeah I'm not here to tell people what they can and cannot like, but to me: this song sounds like a board room full of executives talking about what the kids find 'hip'.

F*cking pathetic.

There's some good electro out there, mainstream pop music though....it's lowest common denominator music.

well for starters, i highly doubt she has any knowledge whatsoever about how to turn a computer on, nevermind produce music. her producer however, is probably a fucking genious, because he's made some shit millions of people love. pretty solid though that he's throwing a bit of dub into one of her pop tracks, i wonder what else he's capable of producing...

I think this topic is rather amusic - not because of the track, or the advice sought - but because the OP has assumed that britney is producing this stuff. Sorry, but I do find that hilarious :D

To answer your question - distorted bassline side-chained to the kick. Nothing special.

It was done by some producer called Dr. Luke, or something, I think.

Rusko claims his Britney tracks are 'proper dubstep'. We'll see.

I'm a bit hesitant to give so much credit to a thread starter in the production forum, but this thread is clearly a joke. A satiric spin on the usual 'what does producer <blank> use?', 'how does producer <blank> make their <blank> so <blank>?'.

So now it is you who is providing the amusings. How ironical.

Possibly - I still find it amusing though :)

Fuck!!



Sorry, I just freaked out there for a second when I thought electro truly is lost. :6:

I've been hearing this great new genre called electrostep, and some bands called Drexciya and Dopplereffekt and stuff.

Dr Luke was also responsible for producing Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl, and has also produced Black Star. Full discography can be found here;

Pretty fucking impressive, pop producer or not he's dipped his toes in a lot of different types. Interesting that he's worked with Britney and also Krafty Kuts & A Skillz.

Now that Britney has assigned the LFO to the Cutoff, is the true commercialization of dubstep finally happening???

I would prefer it if someone like 'The Saturdays' did a track with dubstep in it tbh. At least they have Frankie :corndance: Britney is just an outdated annoyance. :u:
