    Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. (Ephemeral Mix)

    in Post Your Original Music!

    Posted

    Artist: Gorillaz remixed by DJ SymBiotiX

    Title: Feel Good Inc. (Ephemeral Mix)

    Time: 6:48

    Status: Finished

    Bitrate: 320 kbps

    Genre: UK Hardcore

    Alright, so I finished this tonight, and I was able to mix it down on my headphones. I'll probably go back and remix it on my monitors in a few days (if it has any big problems)

    This is my first UK Hardcore track that I've done by myself, so let me know what you think.

    Thanks

    Yeah definitely thanks again guys. The plan is to do something more with the breakdown, add some other melody in there, and do some drum stuff perhaps. (did you notice that the arpy thing in the breakdown was just a rearrangement of the intro to the theme? ... quite liberal though XD) I'll try to mess with the bass melody some more next time I work on it as well.

    Also the fill back into the main stuff after the breakdown was never finished. Thats why its so abrupt, I didn't quite know what to do at the time. Hopefully I'll have *some* time to work on this. Exams + end of term assignments/projects are creeping up on me hardcore.

    Advantages of Reason over FLStudio

    in Music Composition & Production

    I just want to add a few more comments.

    Ive used both Reason and FL. Like other people have said, everybody has their preferences. Like I personally cant stand FL's interface because it feels cluttered to me (like how reason seems cluttered to Blue Magic), and I also don't like the loop based nature of FL, I like to see my track in a linear form rather than a loop based form.

    Also, again the combination of Record and Reason is literally seamless.

    As far as I understand it, Propellerheads keeps Reason and Record strictly proprietary (no VST's allowed) because of how the software is built. Propellerheads prides themselves on how extremely CPU efficient Reason/Record is, and trust me, it is AMAZINGLY CPU efficient compared to FL.

    Eventually, yes I will admit I missed being able to use VST's, so I opted out for the compromise. I use Ableton Live as my main DAW and rewire record/reason in to it so I have the best of both worlds.

    Like everybody has been saying, is really all about preference. I have seem some amazingly professional stuff come out of FL and from Reason. Its all about how you use it and what suits you.

    - Can use audio (Reason can too with Record now but I haven't used record so I don't know how well they integrate)

    All I really want to add here is that these 2 programs integrate better than anything could ever possibly integrate.

    If you have them both installed on your computer, you only open Record, and you have EVERYTHING from record and reason. So all the reason synths+effects, records sweet layout and mixer, etc etc.

    The integration is completely amazing.

    18 Band, Multi Band Compressor

    Alright, so after taking some advice and stuff, I've decided to make a simpler less CPU intensive combinator that can be used in many places (since it isn't a massive beast :P)

    I present my 3 Band Crossover Compressor. (3 Band X-Compressor)

    Rotary 1 Controls the low crossover point, and Rotary 2 Controls the high crossover point.

    This way, you can define for yourself at what frequency points Low/Mid/High gets chopped off at.

    I have also included an EQ specifically for Visualization purposes. Its not 100% accurate, but it will give you a very decent representation of where your low/mid/high crossover points are.

    Crossover points can go from 100 Hz up to 6000Hz (6KHz)

    *******DO NOT SET THE LOW CROSSOVER POINT ABOVE THE HIGH ONE OR VICE VERSA!! It just wont split the frequencies properly if you do so*******

    Here is an image:

    Enjoy :D

    So for no reason I decided to make an 18 band compressor for reason/record.

    Here is a picture of what it looks like (its a link because it is VERY long): http://www.djsbx.com/Files/MBCompressor18.png

    Here is a link to the Combinator patch: http://www.djsbx.com/Files/Multi-Band-Compressor-18.cmb

    I made this primarily for throwing into the mastering chain. If you need very fine Multi Band Compression, this can probably help you.

    Bands are separated as such:

    (X = Bottom Bound, Y = Upper Bound)

    Low:

    X - 100 Hz

    100 Hz - 134 Hz

    124 Hz - 173 Hz

    173 Hz - 272 Hz

    272 Hz - 375 Hz

    Mid:

    375 Hz - 455 Hz

    455 Hz - 535 Hz

    535 Hz - 649 Hz

    648 Hz - 787 Hz

    787 Hz - 955 Hz

    955 Hz - 1.16 KHz

    1.16 KHz - 1.36 KHz

    1.36 KHz - 1.88 KHz

    1.88 KHz - 2.28 KHz

    High:

    2.28 KHz - 3.05 KHz

    3.05 KHz - 4.49 KHz

    4.49 KHz - 6 KHz

    6 KHz - Y

    There is also an extra compressor and maximizer at the end of the signal chain, for overall tweaking.

    Remix Submissions Wanted for Upcoming Album

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Posted

    Alright here is the deal. Ive started work on an album (2 actually). I really want to feature a bunch of people on it (which is what I did with my old album).

    I'm basically looking for some people to make remixes (whatever style, as long as I end up liking it :P... no dubstep XD) of any of my original songs.

    So here is a torrent with all my original songs in it http://www.djsbx.com/Torrent/DJSymBiotiXRemixPack.torrent

    So a few things to note here. I'm not releasing these albums until September 2010, so there is lots of time, but I'm trying to get some of this stuff done early (so I can also be motivated). Also, these will most likely be free albums, so I wont be able to pay anybody. This is really just a way to get your name around through me, and so I can have some full albums full of awesome remixes.

    Another thing. Most of the stuff you will encounter in this pack is somewhat different (I think). A lot of my original stuff is somewhat experimental in nature. Most of it borrows from trance, and other common electronica genres. Also, about half of the songs in there are extremely poor in mixing/mastering as they were made about 3 + years ago, so you'll have to excuse that. I'm really only putting them in there for melody sake.

    Anyways, enjoy, and hopefully I'll get a few remixes out of this place XD.

    Edit: Here are some links to the album info

    Act II: Black - http://www.djsbx.com/blog/?page_id=54

    Act II: White - http://www.djsbx.com/blog/?page_id=51

    I also forgot to put this song in the torrent.

    This is also elligible to be remixed (though there are already 2 001_tongue.gif)

    Darker stuff will go on the black cd, and lighter/mellow stuff will go on the white cd.

    VERSION 3: http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=739

    Alright so, I changed a bunch. Still not mixed/mastered and whatnot. Some drums are different, the beginning is different, and the breakdown got a bunch of stuff added to it. I'm not sure what to do after the breakdown. There is some stuff there.. but I dont know :P

    What do you guys think?

    -----------------------------------------------------

    VERSION 2: http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=718

    I changed up the structure *so its longer and doesnt switch so quickly*. Also changed up the drums a bit and added some layering.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=717

    Really really rough work in progress. Let me know what you think (im just trying to get some ideas down.

    Also what should I call it? I was thinking "A Chilly Day in Winnipeg" (if you dont know about how cold winnipeg is,the place that I live, go look it up :P)
