Description : This was the first track I made after I got a hold of Serum. Needless to say, it has shaped the way I produce music, as I find myself relying less and less on presets to get the job done!

Serum is a fun synth to use, no? I think the biggest advantage to it is being able to see what your warp effects actually do to the waveform (that, and being able to modulate literally everything).

Regarding the track; I loved the mix of double and half time! Double time can really bring that much more energy on the drop; its a shame I don't see it as often (or perhaps thats just me). Switching it back down to half time after double time also reinforces that 'badass swagger', I find. As far as criticisms go (other than what Wobbin mentioned regarding loudness), I would have liked a little bit more from the middle frequencies in your growl at 0:55, which came off to me as a little bit dry. But thats pretty much it as far as I can hear.

Quick question for my own curiosity; which warp modes did you find yourself using most? Coming from Massive, I used the Bend modes a lot, but recently I've been finding a lot of enjoyment from the Asym and Mirror modes, as well as FM from Osc.

Great track, and keep going with Serum.

Hey there,

This is a splendid track! Dubstep is not something i'd choose from first hand as a liking, but I can certainly enjoy it time to time. This hypes me up so good, I can't sit still listening this :D

Some minor feedback:
1) I know its often in Dubstep, but for me the 0:30 and 2:19 spin comes in a bit to loud. It being unexpected is perfect tho. As well as the timing and all. I'd personally just swipe the volume of it down just a 10-20%.
2) 1:48 and 3:25, a delay/echo from the main chorus sounds for just a sec or 2 after its finished while going into the break adds a extra pro touch.

Overall its already extremely good! Just my 2 cents. Keep doing what you’re doing! Faved this bjoetie

I GREATLY appreciate your feedback! To quickly address your points:

1) I think you may be right, so in the future if I have similar types of noises in my tracks I'll make sure to give them a slightly longer volume sweep in. That way it won't spook people!
2) Good point, I would only worry about it muddying up the plucks that follow after, but if I were to end the track after a drop like that I will DEFINITELY follow that piece of advice.

Thanks a ton. The only way I can get better is with constructive criticism like this. It may not seem like a lot, but it really does make me a better producer!

Really great, man! Love this from start to finish! I also checked out the visualizer that you mentioned in your forum post and I enjoyed that as well. How is a visualizer like that made? I see them all the time and I always wonder.

I use Adobe After Effects and a free template that this guy was distributing on YouTube. You just plug in the information and render out the video! Thanks for the feedback!

I actually didn't use a vocoder once in this song, but I think you thought I did for the "terror squad" bass, right? Wow, now that I listen to it, it DOES sound like a ##### vocoder XD!

Hey man....Love that lead synth in the beginning ...love the whole vibe of this track! I can FEEL the energy great work!! What program did you make this with ?

CorruptionEDM replied 30th Aug 2016 - 10 years ago
I use FL Studio. I have tried Ableton, and I worked with Logic for a while, but nothing tops FL Studio's piano roll! I use Serum for a lot of the complex basses, but simpler things like leads and chords can be realized in Massive.

I used a part from the track by PaperKup - The Cave. His guitars fitted perfectly in there.
The meaning of this ambient track.... just memories, good ones, bad ones... but they are memories no matter what has happened...

Description : New Horizons is my first fully digital/MIDI track recorded using just my guitar with a MIDI pickup. The title seemed fitting because this track represents stepping into a whole new musical world with the guitar. The cinematic feel of the track also makes me picture standing on an epic landscape, taking in an amazing view with the wind blowing around me and a whole new horizon ahead, either that or the video game zelda... :)
