Hello everyone1
|Well more of a sound test and proof of concept. It leaves a lot to be
desired, such as better playing, more thought, more frizzling effects... You
get the picture. Still I wanted to share it.
An attempt at dubstep:
http://juliencoder.de/q/test.mp3
It's mainly my NordLead3 (virtual analogue synth). the bass is made up of 24
stacked oscillators multiplied by the five oscillators used for its unison
mode. Everything else - except for the drumkit - is NordLead too. The drumkit
is Korg Triton. It will do for now. Maybe some time later, I will go back and
do something more elaborate and honestly ernest with it. :-)
Any feedback on the sounds and basic production is welcome.
Without wax yours

Hah, well, that's a departure! It's fun,
actually. I'd like the
laser-gun like synth to back a notch and have some reverb on it, perhaps
a touch more bass and the drum a little closer: it wants a little of
that "in your brain" thumping thythm section which seems to be key for
this type of music. Cool sounds!
Cheers,

Hey Massy!
thank you too. The laser-gun like synth? do you mean the one doing the lead,
or the sound amidst the bass line? If it's the latter, then this is part of
the bass patch. I know, that the bass still doesn't sound bassy enough. I have
a feeling, that the EQ'ing should be more extreme still, or I should reduce
the patch by one or two oscillators and then mix it with another sound on my
Nordlead, to get more pressure in the low frequency band.
I have done somuch to this mix already, that I wouldn't consider for
anything else: overlimiting, compressing the whole mix until it bleed and
pumped... It seems, that there is still a lot more to learn. :-)
good to hear, that the sounds basically fit the bill.
Miscally screaming yours
Julien

Yes, the bass
line. Maybe you could trim a bit off the top?

Julien, nice approach to this now ever-present style. I concur with that
about the bass, the more low and full the better for the purpose.
BTW, the melody is a little 007-Bond like.

Hello carlos!
I never thought about it like that, but now you mention it, there is a
slightly bond-ish note to the melody. :-)
Licensed to make music yours :-)

Well lets see if I can get in again yet!
That was pretty... erm... extreme. You sure you're OK? :)
Actually, quite fascinating, and I can believe it has possibilities. In fact,
as it stands it'd do well in a shoot-em-up game.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Hello Will1
Welcome back to the list! thanks for the comments. I'm actually fine, I
think. Just crazy. Maybe I haven't been crazy enough of late. :-)
Warmly yours

I enjoyed it, and that bass synth patch is just insane, but for some reason it reminded me
of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBStbd2B8Jk
(That's a video, but the soundtrack alone gives the flavor pretty well, and
obtainable/listenable via commandline using youtube-dl.)
I didn't understand dubstep until I saw that video actually. Then I got it: "oh,
it's dance-club metal! Metal you can dance to, using electronic instruments instead of
guitars." I was perplexed by industrial music in the 90s until I had this exact same
revelation.
Or, as Butthead put it: "The only thing better than a band that gets chicks, is a
band that SCARES chicks. Huh-huh." Industrial and dubstep: dance music with
testosterone.

Shit man, why is that video so short? :-) Thanks for the tip Ken, I liked
that. A mix of being helpful and music instructor, which was a dance duo in
the 90s. :-) One important bit they missed however: breaking the beats.
Drum-and-Bass-driven yours

I guess that explains why they play it in every gay bar in the world nowadays. (Sucks
being the only person in your social circles who dislikes EDM.) I had no idea it was even
supposed to be masculine or scary before watching that.
Thanks for the education.

similar feeling here. Since I listened to that (much too short) test.mp3
my brain wants more of that insane electronic instrument with big
drums. I wonder what adding some saturated guitar stuff
and an HxCx / death voice and some more rhythmic variations
(as found in "standard" brutal metal stuff) would do there...
Sorry for the dumbness, but is there some description/tutorial
about that sound or similar sounds (no link to give, but
there is a kind of sound close to it where people also
put kind of a wah effect on it from time to time; the sound
is "grainy", I don't know how to describe it; it's close
to Julien's thing but slower/deeper on the "grainy" aspect)?

Hello Sedric!
The sound I did was based on a square wave with a distrotng filter. The
sound in the dubstep class, sounds like it might be based on one of those
filter white noises. The Nordleads have that. What they essentially do - as I
have read so far - is modulate volume, filter and pitch. Sometimes by LFO,
sometimes perhaps by the sequencer software/manual manipulation. In the video,
it sounds like a lot of cut-off frequncy modulation. I think he had more than
one filter there. Because there are the occasional bits, where the bass
sounds, like it's pronouncing a vowel, this is typically achieve by at least
to filters in paralel. How exactly he modulates them... No idea. But I'm sure
you can think of a few things yourself.
It's always a good idea to double the oscillators by some technique. Either
you have a unison feature, or stack... What they do is stack notes of your
patch on one key, using up polyphony. The notes then are slightly detuned and
distributed in the stereo panorama.
I hope, this is essentially what you wanted to know. If you're looking for
more dubstep, there are radio stations - definitely accessible from Linux -,
which play nothing else. :-) A friend posted three links to me once. I should
still have them, if you're interested.
Warm regards
Julien
