Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

I might abandon this... I can't seem to get this mashup 'catchy' enough, or perfect...

Any advice?

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

since everyone has been sampling oldskool shit (ohaider, frank) I gave it a go also: CBR style.

i feel this has a lot of potential just need some comments on this and since its pretty early on (progress wise) the more the better.

hahaha that's definitely the good kind of retarded yeah

drop the "intro" where you have nothing but the breaks though, it's detrimental imo or at the very least wholly unnecessary

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

Okay fixed some panning issues, dropped the intro and added some automation -- also re-EQ'd the kick.
I'll get back onto working on this in a bit, basically just need to now extend this haha (which I find the trickiest part sometimes)

It's the audio spectrum preset in after effects, not sure how he made it into a circle though. I'm pretty sure I've seen some presets floating around, I've just been too lazy to try them.

Double posting because I was answering a question, here's a remix I started today that I'm pretty proud of so far. The drop isn't completely built up yet, it's just kind of sudden right now :P

EDIT: Updated link with newer version.

Not a huge fan of your Zedd remixes, especially this one. Feels like you're focusing on the vocals too much. It's definitely just me not liking the genre though, so it's not exactly fair criticism.

Like megamon said, I use After Effects with visualizers programmed by Mocarg. There are links provided to his channel in all my video descriptions.

Haha, fair enough. I think this has better production quality than anything else I've done so for that reason I'm pretty proud, but if you don't like dubstep then I guess you won't like it. :P Also I found out how to make vocals stick out from the mix while still fitting in so I'm pretty happy about that too.

@megamon, I don't usually like your stuff, but that's pretty good. ;o

This is like, 2 months old and I might or might not continue it. Collab?

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

Almost finished, I think. I still need to rework the beginning a bit so the drop isn't so sudden though.

EDIT: Made some mixing changes.

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

haha kgz that sounds kinda cool :>

Re: Music Works In Progress Thread

ps @megamon what kind of monitors are you mixing on? All of tracks just don't seem to have that low end

I'm in a dorm and we're not allowed big speakers, so I'm just using some Shure headphones right now. I've had some people tell me that there's too much bass :/
