Hey all, will try to reply to everybody in this mail:
@Julien: The phaser is the one in the Calf LV2 plugins, I rarely use phasers but for some reason thought I wanted one on the master track for this!
@All On production: Yeah, its indeed quite shakey at times and not as polished and refined as it could be. Patrick: I'm afraid this track's progression is to stay where it is! I tend to prefer writing new material to polishing things at the moment... If there's intrest in the Ardour2 session, or per track exports, I'll happily share :)
@Louigi: Drums are loops, but edited a bit. Taking kicks & snares and doubling them over the loop in certain places to make the whole more interesting. Forget what collection they're from.. sorry!
@Reverb: you're probably right, didn't really do a final "listen" an there was no time between composition, mixing and mastering. Start to finish in 3 hours, no break, so I'd happily belive that the reverb sounds way overpowering to a fresh pair of ears :D
@Brostep: Brostep is dubstep without the "super-heavy" sine bass under it as far as I'm aware. Basically a high pass filter at 120 on the bass instrument, but normal "dubstep" apart from that. Indeed it usually has even "harder" sounds, more metallic and high-frequency based "basslines".
I intend to make more of this type of music in future & will post links due to the nice response guys, cheers! -Harry
