    TheGuitahHeroe - "SubtletyMachine" FREE Electronica EP!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm at it again with another six-track (hard) electronica EP, "SubtletyMachine!"

    (Album art coming soon!)

    SUBTLETYMACHINE: http://theguitahheroe.bandcamp.com/album/subtletymachine

    Some of you may recall the EP I released a while back, called "Step Back." While that focused mainly on dubstep, "SubtletyMachine" focuses on many more aspects of what they call "hard" electronica:

    Centerpoint: Electro/Complextro

    Don't Stop: French House

    Muse - Starlight (TGH Trance Mix): Deep Trance

    Broken Mechanics: Dubstep

    Subtlety: Dubstep

    Woeful Skies: Liquid DnB

    That being said, I hope that this EP can appeal to the tastes of more lovers of electronica (especially the "hard" kind; I know how you like it real "hard!" :lmassoff:)

    Alright, I'm done talking. Please try to enjoy the music :D

    I fucking love that synth at 1:30. Just saying.

    Yep, this is good stuff so far. Not sure if you've fixed up the snare sample at all, but if you haven't then it's grown on me :D I like the effect it gives.

    Suggestion: I feel like a bit of reverb on the wub would work wonders for the soundscape during the drop here. It's already pretty good, really dark and mysterious, and I love that in dubstep...but I THINK a bit of reverb (with a high low-cut setting) would really put it over the top in that category.

    Upon another listen, the kick sounds a bit soft to me, I would make it just a BIT louder.

    KEEP GOING MANNNN

    Leveling and mixing issues struck me as soon as that rising synth leading up to the main verse came in. That particular synth is too loud and hogs too much space. For how much space that bass takes, that gated lead at :28 has got too much mid-range, and it clashes frequencies with the bass. At other parts where the bass isn't playing, it works.

    The transition synth at 1:20 is too loud. Really unconventional, almost to the point of not working well, chords in that gated synth at 2:03. I can't help feeling that that part just doesn't fit with the ominous atmosphere of the rest of the song.

    The mix as a whole feels static, needs more variation in sounds, and for the percussion set you have, more variation and fills. A bit punchier bass kick would do as well.

    I absolutely love this concept. The beginning reminds me a lot of chthonic's 'Farore Lies in Wait' with the dithered in-game effects. Really nice vibe throughout. It feels kinda sparse as is, but then again it's a work-in-progress :D

    Also might I recommend cleaning up/replacing that snare sample...I understand it might have been an intended effect with a lo-fi sort of thing, but it just sounds kinda weak.

    Keep going with this dude...again I LOVE the idea :D

    P.S. I still haven't forgotten about our collab. I promise I'll get started on it soon X(

    It's not fit for OCR due to the conservative arrangement, but what you've got here is really nice. And smoooooth. Loving that piano sample for the setting it's in, production is pretty good, if not a bit heavy in the kick for the style it's in imo. It sounds a bit compressed, but nothing overly or unpleasantly so.

    If anything, the tremolo in that keyboard instrument in the background may be a bit overdone. Try toning that tremolo back just a BIT if you can.

    OCR-acceptable arrangement or not, this is something I can really enjoy :D You should go for an OCR-worthy arrangement in this style!

    Something I'm doing as part of a project on another forum. I plan on submitting it to OCR eventually, though...the transitions need to be touched on a bit, and I might add some additional arpeggios to the breakdowns, play with filters.. and crap like that. Turn some more knobs, force more transformers to have sex with your dishwasher, the whole nine yards.

    The source here is mainly used as leads in the breakdowns, and backing for the drop sections.

    Enjoy!

    EDIT: This is now finished. I've listened to it a good 57 times now and I still can't find anything I want to change with it. I'll submit later today.

    Back with another one. :D

    House. Either you love it or you hate it. oh wait that's dubstep...

    Well, it's a genre that very few people can stand to listen to in a casual fashion, I find. Some people only like to dance to it. I am one of the people who can't dance (lol) and yet love to listen to house casually, as if I were listening to rock or something.

    Nevertheless, this one combines some house tracks that I've made recently with some remastered old ones.

    The tracks are designed to play continuously, and Bandcamp takes a bit of a pause before moving on to the next track. To hear it the way it's meant to be played in full, you can download the album to get the full MP3 of all the songs together as a bonus track (as well as a few other bonus tracks! ;) ). Also playing the separate tracks in iTunes makes the transitions between songs totally seamless, I find.

    I like to consider this EP, consisting of 4 tracks at just over 25 minutes, to be both aggressive and laid back in style at the same time, with a contemplative overtone (mostly) throughout. That being said, hopefully for lovers of the house subgenre, there's something for everyone here :D

    Thanks a lot guys, and enjoy!

    I dropped my bass. Can you help me pick it up??

    I've been really getting into the ear-gratingly horrible subgenres of electronica lately, especially dubstep. So consider this my tribute to a "Step Back" in musical advancement :DDDDDD

    In all seriousness though, if you're not a fan of loud, abrasive cacophony and substantial overcompression, I suggest leaving this thread now ;)

    Of course, it's completely free.

    Hope you all enjoy....or at least try. 8)

    Thanks all you guys for the feedback :D I'm sorry if I came off as kind of a douche in my last post..but such wasn't the intent :(

    Anyway, after listening to a lot more Pendulum, I realized how much this attempt at their style just didn't cut it...lol. That being said, I did cave in and make an updated version...I added an extra synth in the midrange to thicken the "bass" a bit more, and resampled and EQ'd the snare a bit differently.

    Oh yeah, I also did brighten those hats a bit more :smile:

    I'm calling this finished now. And it's already been submitted.
