but you know me. i've been known to be totally wrong. the first part is tribal. second part is....i don't know, other. i think it's a nice track.

things to listen for. the delay i put on the snare in the first part, the tribal portion and the snare fills. how the snare delay syncopates in the 2 bar break at the end of part 1 against the voices. the vocal parts i broke up to make the tribal call in the first part. the introduction of the squelchy tb-like synth (made in Pentagon I) and how it becomes the bass in part two. the doubling of the vocal line in part two.

yeah thats a latiny groove mate, i'd like to hear the metalic snare in part-1 a tad deader tho or vary the deadness.

do you lisen to dubstep at all sitar?

i've listened to some dubstep k. not a lot. i like it and what a lot of people do with it melodically.

i'll give your idea on the snare a try. i intentionally went for the metallic sound. it's very similar to a track Orbital did. i think it was called "I Wish I Had Duck Feet" or something like that, if that's the right track. might be nicer to take the edge off the snare in this piece.

well i'm not saying maybe every snate hit, but after a while it's consistancy of decay starts to sound very 'sample-y' & a tad dominant (only slightly) - i just think some variety of sustain might be cool.

have a listen when you get a moment. reuploaded the newly edited track. i toned the original snare down a tad and added another lower pitched warmer snare. they alternate. works nicely against the snare fills. thanks for the suggestion k! i hope what i did is in some way what you meant. if not....that's a big D'OH on my part!

i made this little dubstep loop in logic. the mix is pants and the kik is weedy, but it's quicky

k's dubstep mess about loop

i love the genre cos it's so synth/sequencer/fx orientated. the amount of work which goes into the good tracks is superb

nice. i like the way the bass does a 3 and a 6 then sounds like 3 notes in almost a 7 as if to catch up to the beat again. nice swing to it. i like the long verb tail on the snare. i haven't listened to much dubstep but i'm pretty sure i know exactly what you mean. i've heard some really nice synth/sequencer/fx stuff. very pretty stuff. yesterday i chuckled as i thought how in a way it's a lot like the choruses you hear in some of the nicer drum & bass tracks. i thought people write nice choruses in d&b so you'll put up with all the drum crap to hear the choruses.

a woman asked me to write a track based on the eartha kitt song "at last". she'll do a voice reading of the lyrics and i'll use them in the track. i first thought of a reggae beat but changed my mind. i'm going to try to do a dubstep version. the original song is in a slow 3/4 feel so i have to make it work within a 4/4 framework. it could turn out really nice or be a total trainwreck. i want to listen to more dubstep today.

oh goodie. was a great suggestion to change it up k. thank you. the new snare is a led zep emulation snare from sonar's session drummer. i tuned it up a note or two then put the same echo delay on it. i eq'd both snares. toned down the original and actually toned up the new one a bit. for delays i almost always us sonitus which also comes bundled with sonar. on the left side i have a dotted 1/2 delay. on the right a 4 beat delay. same for both snares.

i need to figure out how to make a dubstep synthbass next. no rest for the weary.
