Get a new snare drum. Your's is closed when you should want one that opens up. idk how to describe it: yours is going "TSSSSSSS" you want it to go "KAHHHHH" lol. use some layering and resample it, reverb it for a heavy punchyouintheface snare that is perfect for heavy dub
<keep it heavy>

Good shit. Downloaded! Not many changes I could think to make, I think you got a real nice tune as is.
Maybe let me know what you think of my first tune? Only about 3 days of work into it so far so it's not perfect yet. I'd appreciate your input.

I think the start is unique, the filthy synth is pretty impressive too, what synth are you using for it? I'd love to know how you make the growly sounding synth!

The kick gets a little lost on my system, maybe get a bit more brutal with the EQ or layer another kick.

This is a dark-ass tune, like it :)


Would appreciate feedback on my new track:

snares still need work. get some of the midrange out of the way, notch out some Hz where snare's hitting, limit snare, apply verb, mix more carefully...

Youre on the right track, here are a few tips, the really heavy pumpy snares are made by layering clear claps and really heavy mid snares, 2-3, play with the sample start/end to get a blend u like. Then get and Eq and roll out anything bellow mid range (tweak to taste), feel free to play with the pitch of individual samples in your snare blend also. Next add a short reverb to a send and also add a dash of delay via send also.
The snares you hear that go on forever like "tshhKAAAAAH!" are made by adding a "slap back". To add a slap back put a hall/long verb on a send and automate the send from 0 to 100% on hit. But thats not all, you need to gate your slap back so that it ends just before your next major rythmic element(kick?) that will give you a huge pumping rythmic, experiment with reverses and fxs in you slap back area to make it even more mental.
Once youve done this you must learn side chaining compression, google and youtube are your friends, side chaining is going to be for your snare and kick but applied yo your bass/synth tracks to "duck" them out of the way when your snares and kicks hit, this will give you massive pumping dynamics and enable you to push all your sounds way up without having them murk each other out. Hope this helps. For a good example of a proper slapback check my track.

Judging from the style of HipHop you produce you may or may not feel that side chaining is important, but for most club music that is bass heavy and loud, you need to do it, to a varrying degree of course. Going all out and saying side chaining is fail may be a little harsh. Which engineering course did you graduate? Because even a Youtube education will sort out stuff like this...

:roll:

sc compression is a handy technique with many applications. I never suggested anything otherwise. You're saying for club music you need to do it. That's nonsense. and then you go on to take shots at my tunes and ask me what engineering course i took???
Here's a generalization that's nearly as sweeping as yours, but for the most part actually true -- real producers don't fucking take engineering courses. they learn from working.

Why don't you stop bickering about techniques and use em to make some tunes... or are you too busy with engineering coursework, fuckin twat.
