Another new tune from me.

Cheers for the feedback.

At some point, when I get some spare time I'll be working on the mix down as it's not quite right yet Smilie_PDT

this is dur-ty durt-y dur-ty dur-ty


wel catch and respect for the wikid use of ragga drums and guitars..btw where did your samples come from..im actually desperate for that ragga sound that i struggle to achieve

im not keen on the overpowering synth but the rest is TNT

I sampled a Reggae track for this tune then chopped it up and reordered it all.
The drums are a mixture of a roll and individual hits chopped from the track and re-arranged.
The horns are all part of the original track that I sampled and then cut up to the stab you hear throughout the track. I used the pitch bend automation in Reason to give the 2 pitches of horn you hear in the track.

In regards "that ragga sound" I would suggest looking for drum hits that are "rattley" (for want of a better term) - generally a bit more low-fi sounding and then play around with levels of reverb for the "echo-chamber" feel to them.

Other effects that I use in the track are mainly based around filter frequency variation (low pass).

The final mix of this track is under way so I'll re-post the link when it is tweeqed with Smilie_PDT

Cheers for the feedback.

Dave

I really should finish the mix down of this track. I've just been busy doing other things.
This will be the next thing I do after I have finished remastering my mash ups.

Thanks for the feedback and words of appreciation.

Dave

Yeah yeah yeah! Missed this earlier. It's phat. It's like dubstep except too much dubstep is either cheesy synths or ends up putting you to sleep. This is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, son.
