A new tune I've just put together- feedback much appreciated

Soundcloud

hOLy shit. I just blew in my pants man. What'd you make your reese bass with? Can you tell me the process you go to do that? Like resampling or effect layering? Help would be great.

This song sounds so fucking sick but doesn't seem like it's mixed well and I don't know if you tried mixing it. But this song and your Katy Perry song makes me see so much potential. Why don't you send your stuff out to some labels? This shit blows stuff out of the water. Good production man.

You should check out this opportunity the DSF community been looking at http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=231561
Wub(Moderator) confirmed it's legit I guess. Don't know who the label is exactly though. They won't say so I'd check it out if I were you and take the opportunities that are there.

Such a great song man!

Nvm, the mixing is not too bad. My headphones are lil blown. Getting new ones later today though.

Dude this is mad EP!C you giving out downloads at all? It sounds really good!

Thanks a lot, man! I think I'll enable downloads when I get home today...

Dae... thanks much! I use NI Massive, and sometimes FM8 - on this track, only Massive was used. FM8 is better for absurd, raw, gritty monster noises, it seems (because of the way FM synthesis works). There is no resampling, just careful crafting of the sound in the VST. In response to your email, I've never used any downloaded patches... just make everything myself. And I was thinking of making my patches available at some point It's really just careful layering in Massive, and careful use of things like the Scream filter. You can make a plethora of crazy sounds! I love it.

Man this is awesome Very Feed Me - ish

No problem man! No resampling at all? Those sounds are gnarly and I was thinking FM8 for those. Props on engineering the patches yourself. You should make a tutorial on how to make whatever sounds because I can't operate Massive smoothly like I would like too. But that's sweet man. Keep it going.

Yep... no resampling! Just loud, shouty things coming from Massive

Yo this shit is fucking illlllllllllll! good shit fam...you're making me want to go back on my massive right now and see why it's not sounding like your shit lol! fareal tho, big one

Lol I know I'm wondering the same thing. Don't even make the same sounds in massive but you should make a tutorial for massive in general. I don't know what a lot of things do. There isn't a tutorial that goes in depth with every little knob etc.

What VST did you use for those Orchestra synths? I can't get over this song. Holy shit. Everything is just perfect(Besides the mixing, doesn't sound clean & clear, the volume levels are perfect though)

Thanks much, guys! Yeah I'm still getting a hang of mixing; my monitors make almost anything sound fantastic and crisp, so it makes mixing for other sound systems more difficult. I didn't use a VST for the orch parts, btw. Just chopped up loops. I reckon any VST that sounds that good is way outta my price range. I am thinking about making a Massive tutorial- I think there are quite a few websites out there that break it down pretty well, though.

Yeah I'm about to get some new headphones cuz I'm using Turtle Beach X1's to mix haha, But perfect selection of the orchestra part. Goes well with the rest of the song. Hmm yeah I haven't seen any tutorials that I'll call good. Probably just my luck. Do you have any bookmarked that you can share with me?

Haha... I suppose now that I think about it, there aren't that many! I learned Massive by searching for Massive tutorials on YouTube, and using http://www.massivesynth.com/. You learn a new little trick from each video / write-up, and that combined with messing with it yourself yields a lot of progress, I think. It's a really powerful VST once you start to figure it out.

Check out the new tune, guys!
