Music Production

Bit of a catch up

Decided to post a link to myspace as I've put a couple of tracks up that I done a while ago, although these are still not finished I thought it would be suitable to post, as I've had a serious lack of updates on my blog. Style: House/Techno

I've had a few DJs requesting me to finish them so they can play them out, mainly extending intros and outros for mixing purposes and putting a few variations in the beats and a bit of filter play to build areas and drop them. Im trying to get my tunes so they sound as though they are all the same style without sounding samey. Im quite pleased with them so far and think they are a good basis to work from.

They were produced in Ableton Live 7, plugins used where mainly Simpler for messing with samples using the lfo envelopes, pitch attack etc. Impulse for programming the beats and the Waves package for compression, EQ, Delay and Reverb, using Automation to bring the Dry/Wet of effects to build parts and drop them.

Luckily I've had the benefit of producing from two different computers with there own monitors, Tapco S8's and Yamaha HS50Ms, this has given me the ability to realize that monitor speakers can sound completely different, I realizied the bottom end on my speakers (Yamaha) was too much so when I tested my tracks on the Tapcos they barely had no bass at all!
