Thanks very much. I appreciate it :)

I have a bad case of writers block at the moment ! Can't write a decent melody to save my life.

I had a listen to your tune a good few times. It was on repeat for a while. I like it, it was very good. How long you being producing?

Thanks for the kind words! I've been producing primarily in Reason for about 6 months now, and I absolutely LOVE making music. :)

Some new techno: Regulus - PseudoSynapse
 
That techno track took a few loops to grow on me but it's pretty cleverly put together. I'd consider making the break back in at 2:30 sound more promenant/tougher, it could be alot more impacting. But that's just me maybe you prefer it that way :)

Yeah I need to make it break harder... I made a recording of me spinning a record backwards and cut it up in Recycle and placed it at that break, but it's hard to hear it. I'll probably post a new version of that track at some point w/ a stronger break.

Thanks for the words, I'm glad I found this thread because it's really frustrating trying to find good listeners... I'll play my stuff for my friends and they won't even pay attention.

/\ i LIKE your stuff, it's authentic! Sounds to me like you do what you like and your music is you, unlike a lot of stuff by a lot people, which is but their attempts at sounding like someone else and thus not genuine self-expression. This may be lo-fi and dirty but it's real and powerful and it resonates with me and I like it for that. Nicely warped! Do you circuit-bend?
(We're friends on Myspace btw, dunno if you knew, I instigated that months ago)

Here's my newest output.
Will take 15 minutes of your Earth time.
File under "contemporary" I suppose.

let me know what you think fellas.

Rocklobster you are a great musician, i think your a very talented person and are definatly going places with ur music if you already havent. Havent heard shit like yours this good, your tracks are pure genius man, keep that shit up becuase i wanna hear more.
 
Thanks alot for the compliment Idi0tequ3. I swear to god I'm going to read that everytime I feel blue :)

I had a listen to your new track. I keep trying to find patterns in the music, something like what autechre are upto these days. I could identify one near the end .... I'm intrgued, what sort of psychology do you develop into your songs. What pattern do you follow, if any?

i try to just go along with a pattern that i make up in my head, and then play it on synth. most of the time more than one is going on at once. but often it doesnt come out how i planned. Doesn't stop me from making a song out of it. So usually i will think of a beat/sound, something that i personally enjoy, and then i will throw in many more beats and then somewhat of a chorus, and other noises in the backround. I try to make it as trippy as possible and i never try to sound like any other artist, but i think youve noticed that part. Usually what im thinking when im making music is "will anyone enjoy this? i dont know."
 
Regulus- Liquid Sunrise. Nice ambient, liquid chords at the start. The main beat sounds cool, I think it needs a bit of an eq tweak to give it more prescence and a nicer punchier snare. Nice sounds and stuff floating around. The first break/buildup doesn't quite satisfy, and I think kickand bass are blending to much. The second break with the big kickroll lead in is cool. Overall nice chilled out tune, a bit of work needs to go into general mixing, levels equing BUT then file compression may have fucked around with your creative vision.


Regulus- PseudoSynapse- pretty cool sounds, particularly like the FMy splashes. Little bit wild in the high end I must say. Not much bass in there either. I quite like the break down, very tripped out, slightly noisy, but yeah it doesn't boom in enough. Maybe add a white noise sizzle at the kick in.... Pretty nice electronic stuff here my friend- may I suggest you try to upload less compressed (mpeg) versions, I don't think your doing yourself justice. So your using reason, I'll assume 3...?

stuff from me:

ironbrainz & wonderlandf are the ones im proud of, acoustical warfare is ok and problembaeren is not to be taken to serious, please ;-)

Acoustical warfare- fucking dirty as man, I like the distortion but I suspect some may be unintentional. Overall a bit gritty and repetitive for me. Some nice bits, some unquanitzed bits too :)

Ironbrainz- nice little sample at the begginning, sounds like Tim Leary. Cool explosion sounds as well. However, I can't understand where you've gone after that, it sounds almost inaudible, like a massiver punch of distorted techno coming from a car three light years away. Really not my cup of tea.

Oh, and that mescaline sample from the Matrix should be banned :)
 
thx!
no unintentional distortion! ;-)
ironbrainz: yes, its tim leary "like a massiver punch of distorted techno coming from a car three light years away" thats how it should sound like! didnt hear the black sabbath-sample?
what else do you think about wonderland?
 
^^^^In that case, you've achieved your vision!! I pumped i as loud as, sounded ear shattering (Ironbrainz) I just think you need to crank the bass, crack the fuckedy fuck out it. As to wonderland, I didn't get around to having a proper listen- I shall soon and post what me thinks are. I actually enjoyed problembaeren as well :)

Keep up the good work, and keep posting buggybrainman :)

Thanks for the advice!

I always feel like I fuck up my sound when I mess around with the Mastering Suites in Reason. On the DnB tune, I used Dual Band Compression and messed around with the settings until I thought it was alright, but it's definitly missing the sound that I want. I almost feel like I should just leave my stuff on Default Mastering as a rule, cause I usually end up hating the way it sounds by the end.

I'm using Reason 3.0, does anyone have any tips for mastering my tunes? I need the tracks to be isolated more as individual instruments and merge together less.

Thr first rule would be to leave the mastering to the end- clean up and sperate instruments with EQ, levels (very important), reverb and panning and when the song is FINSIHED, then master. All mastering should do is tighten up the track. Come to think of, the bass on your tunes was very squashed so maybe leave multiband compression to the end.

The best technique for isolating sounds is the boost sweep and cut technique- boost EQ gain, with a wide bandwidth and sweep across the spectrum. Ugly sounds will jump out at you, which can be narrowed down (using Q) and then cut. If two instruments appear to blend, it work to simply cut the melding frequencies of one of the two. A good technique is when finding an 'ugly' sound, see whats happening an octave up or an octave down (double the frequency- 1khz is one octave up from 500hZ. 250Hz is an octave down) and rememebr that the pitch of your sounds also determines their freqency content- thats why dance is difficult to mix, you have a deep bass line and the deep kick- but subfrequencys have very unusual and different sonic qualities.

I did a basic google search on EQ settings- while this one is not so much specifically catered for you, the pricniples are largely the same. Kepp up the production :)
 
can any of you recomend me a new program? i am really sick of fruity loops, i feel lame when i use it.
brainbug i dig your shit too, i like your sound.
