Monstercat Cut/Reserve Thread

[choof]

Due to Monstercat batch finally opening, I am offering to make cuts for any tracks you may be interested in stepping.

Cutting a track down will not only make it easier to step, but it will also increase your chances of getting a file into FFR. Monstercat's whole premise is EDM (whether it be 4-on-the-floor electro/house/dub or kick-snare-kick-kick-snare style dnb), which doesn't lend itself easily to stepping. Cutting would only benefit everyone.

If you're interested in having me make a cut, PM with track name (dl would be appreciated but not needed).

(Before anyone asks since it's choof and not me or another GM -- song cutting was allowed by the manager, so this is alright.)

Can this be also a monstercat reserve thread? I wanna call dibs on a few songs so people don't waste their time creating their version

[Wayward Vagabond]

Dibs on everything

[Zageron]

If they allow dibs there wont be any pressure. I think if more than one person is stepping a file the pressure is on, and a better file will be created by both parties. :P

Though perhaps a list of what is being stepped right now, if the person wants to publicize, it would be cool.

Xiz how about we finally step that song we were supposed to?! Or pick a new one. I dont mind.

[hi19hi19]

I only wish Killin' It was more steppable :/
I rather like that song but the only remotely rhythmically interesting parts are the drum buildups before the drops.
The drops themselves are just long wubs with very few distinct instruments to step.

Thankfully Krewella has other fairly steppable songs so I know someone will eventually go for one of their tunes.


I'll probably be stepping a Nitro Fun song, perfect blend of electro beat with chiptune-y bleeps that I can put a billion arrows to.

I can assist in updating this thread for that purpose; it would be nice to have a general hub for everything in regards to Monstercat.

Thread has been renamed, and I'll help in that regard. EDIT: thread is now in a more appropriate location on the forums.

[gold stinger]

k so how about that bad boy?

also, looking through these albums, how awkward would it be for someone to step Grind, by Stereotronique? :P

Just remember that we only have permission for the Krewella songs released through Monstercat. Their other releases are owned by Columbia.

Oh, for sure. Gotta double check every song you use for permission, I always do that.

That said, Killin' It has very definitely been released under Monstercat:

( i might change one, but thats what im working on or have finished so far)

[choof]

wow okay aj whenever we meet up we're going to have to arm wrestle

[TC_Halogen]

There won't be a fight on Rainbow Road at the least -- we'll probably be complementing each other because my file is very tame and intentionally light.

you win

[XelNya]

Dibs on Nightfall by Rogue.

Is there someone here who'd be willing to judge how I cut the song? Like I loathe cutting songs and normally won't for this reason, but I feel as if I had to try it myself before asking for any help. I'd appreciate it.

Also you guys charting rainbow road, if I don't see one of every color I am going to be really sad at the missed opportunity.

[xXOpkillerXx]

guess dibs on Falcon Punch from Razihel

[L.B.D.D]

Too late. I already submitted it last batch.

(I had individual permission pre-monster cat)


EDIT: Also that song isn't with monstercat. Make sure the songs you choose are monstercat release only.
