Hey all Please give this one a critique for me, be as harsh/honest as need be. I need to learn! Its a techno/electro 100 bpm styled track https://soundcloud.com/matty-whells/tehno-master/s-D5Gcw Edit: I have the track on private, so u may actually need to click the link to listen to it

Hey guys I know ive been a bit MIA lately. Have recently moved to whistler and have been knuckling down on production Here is my first track Please critique it, be as harsh/honest as need be (im thinking it might be a little bass heavy) http://soundcloud.com/matty-whells/number-4-master/s-Mag5N EDIT: ignore the little bit at the end, i didnt realise i had a loop at the very end of the track

Walking away and returning later with a fresh pair of ears is the way to do it for sure. On the flip side of this though, has anyone ever sat down and just got into an awesome groove and made really good progress with a track in one sitting. But then you have to leave (for school/work/etc) only to return to it to find that you have completely lost your momentum and are unable to finish it? I feel this happens to me way too often

Have just got into DnB production and have been looking around for samples Will be downloading as soon as I get home. Thanks heaps!!!

Cheers guys, looks like I'm taking a trip to the shop this weekend

i dont mind doing it in headphones, i quit like being able to work without generating too much noise outside of my room. Im more worried about the harm having headphones on for hours will do, i have notice my ears are sometimes a bit sore after extended periods.. not sure if this is from the sound, or just the pressure put on my ears from the headphones clamping in. Based on what everyone has said, ill jump on some speakers. What sort of set up would u guys recommend in terms of speakers? i know everyone has krks, are they actually that good, or am i jsut paying for the name?

Cheers guys Yea I was kinda thinking I'm gonna need to bite the bullet and get some monitors. If I went with the krk (or any other pair) route, would I need a sub, or should they be able to produce enough bass themselves?

Hey all, Im taking a bit of a break from DJing and have decided to get stuck into the production side of things a bit more. I have noticed on the gear im using at the moment (logitech speakers, or hd25 headphones) i am struggling with sub bass and clarity, so have decided its time to fork out on proper speakers (or possibly studio headphones). What would you guys reccommend? Open to all suggestions, fighting to the death encouraged

Ah that makes sense Cheers guys!

I've got ANA and I rate it Having said that, I'm still learning so not quite sure how good it is compared to other synths. Pretty sure I only paid like 20 bucks for it though, so it's well worth it

Is there a reason that you cut everything below 30? I would've thought one of the elements would've taken up that range (sub) Cheers for the chart, tis helpful

ah yea that helps so the sub bass should actually be lower than the kick drum? and when u say cut the sub from 30Hz, does that mean that there really shouldnt be anything below 30hz?

Hey lads I know there are no rules to this sort of thing, but was just wondering what is a generally safe rule for the frequency ranges of the various bass and drum components. Kick / Sub Bass / Bass / Snare / Tom / Clap Cheers fellas

not to mention alot of logic tutorials can be applied to ableton and visa versa

I got a mate whose keen Still for sale?

I always love close sets cause I can really bang it out, and have a bit more freedom. By the time close rolls around, pretty much 90% of your dance floor(if not all of it) is peaking, so they are gonna love everything Keep to the club's style though.. like if its a house club, dont start dropping DnB You will need to be careful about keeping the crowd energised though. They've been partying all night. I like to think of it as a game of tug-o-war.. they want to go home to bed, you want to keep them on the floor

Tis fake my man

ended up tracking down a ghost busters remix went down a treat.. along with a few other goodies

perfecto keep em coming so annoying that all good tracks are dub/trap. the club doesnt particularly like that

Hey guys, Im playing Halloween and looking for some good halloweeny style tracks that i can play.. anything with a horror sample or halloween/horror reference would be great cheers

Yea everyone is pretty spot on with that Night Jungle track. it is the tits Really liking the direction you've taken yourself in aswell dude. Its refreshing to hear

politicians are stupid

It is this reason exactly, that i always recommend going the CDJ route Should be able to pick up some second hand pioneer gear off gumtree for a good price aswell

This would be key What i dont understand with this making the closing hours earlier though... I got out atleast once a week, sometimes 3 times.. and i have NEVER seen any drama on the streets on in a club past 3am... all the drama seems to occur around 1 oclock.. Infact, by the time 3:30 rolls around, all the wankers have gone home and its mostly just an awesome bunch of people who are out for a good time So by making clubs close earlier, its not going to change the people who get in fights and what not around the 1/2am mark.. if anything itll jsut push it forward as they start dirnking earlier to make up for the clubs closing earlier? Is there any logic in what im saying, or is there another side im just not seeing?
