I like what you have going on with the bass modding. This track is real progressive. I am hearing some female jazz vocs on this one with lots of verb mod to make it weave in and out of the mix,,, with heavy vocal stabs to bring in transitions. Very cool sound here, cant wait until its mixed and mastered,-cheers!
YEah this is very veyr cool . I like what you did with the melodies, the way the cadence shifts, I get the name of the track for sure. that snare sample smacks you in the face, and the part where the side chaining comes in is nice indeed. I am really enjoying this track man, new sounds and everything sounds crisp. Crazy stuff goins on with the SC compression too.
Yo I really like this song, but I feel like its building up for a beat to drop the whole time and you never get the satisfaction of having one hit. Other than that though it sounds really, really, sweet.
YEah the beat is hittin on this one. I think you may have a little conflict with the reverb and compression. Are you using the master compression in record or are you using reason? a lot of times the master compressor in record doesnt work too well for me. A tip if you want it.... I always use the 8-band parrallel compression effect on the hardware interface at the top of your rack. adjust the attack and release to your liking, I think this is the best way to master your tracks in reason.
right click on the interface at the top of your rack> go to create effect> 8 band parallel compression. you will immediately hear a difference. but then you can play around with all of the settings.
Note: if you use this effect, do not use a mastering suite. also it will make your track louder so be sure to bring the master lvl down a bit before you apply it.
I dont know if this will help you or if you already know this(you probbly do).
Other than that the track is very creepy and has a evil sound to it. VEry nice arrangement and synth work as well.
IF this was more than you wanted sorry...lol
Sweet tune, man. Clear up the compression issues and I think it will sound sick as hell.
Intro sounds cool as hell. Hey man if you use combi I can totally hook you up with some of my sig patches. Mostly dub basses and DnB but I think you will like the routing and synths. shoot me a message if you want them.
As far as the song goes. Very dark and neurotic. My kind of music. I like the creepy orgasms in there. is that a subtractor bass you got going in there? very cool sounds here. Good job man.
MAn the sounds in this track are sweet as hell! I am really diggin the playful vibe in the beggining, especially when the darker overtones start to show through. very cool. The intro bass synth is cool as hell too. If you mainly use reason and you want some custom combi patches of mine(drums bass leads and pads) lemme know I will shoot you a bunch of cool shiz for you to play with. Your style is very unique and I think the patches I have in mind would help compiment compositions like this.
Just a thought. Either way this track is cool as hell so I have to fav it. Keep it up, man!
man, sweeeet!...loving the sound you got going here. Its kinda making my head go whacked as just listening to this one!...but that beat really puts it all together. ok...now im in a strange trace.....perfect!..nice work man.
ThatcheR
Much Respect... thanx for checkin the track out...hahah yea ur right i didnt know wat i was ganna do wit that sounds... once i got the drums going it just all fit nicely.... thanx for the review n stay tuned 4 more
Othello is, of course, best in the original Klingon opera, but I must say that this version ranks right up there. The track is very unusual, not something I expect a lot of people will flock to, but I think it is great. You have created something quite unique here. The track is well put together, interesting and definitely shows creativity.
I'd give it 3 thumbs up. I'd give it my 4th, but I lost that one when I mistook a Excalian Modrapod as a pumpkin pie.
thanx for the review tho.. yea ur right def not something that would go main stream... but thats how all my stuff is real dark n unique... check out more tracks n thanx for stoppin by..
have you tried using sidechain compression? itll make it so the bass wont drown out the low end of the kick. there are great tutorials on youtube for ducking in reason if you don't know how.
Faved. the melodies you come up with are epic. Very eastern feel on this one. I like it. I def like how you have been playing with the rate on your new stuff. It def kicks you up a notch, gives your music more dynamic and sweet. Very good work with this one... lol that bass slaps you in the face, awesome Reason tweakery my friend!
ahah thanx.. lol right people tell me i should do movie scores..haha def some legendary melodies !!.. yea 4 sure tho i keep learning more n more so try n use it right away.. still cant get that malstrom to do wat i want.. even tho im gettin better wit it !! thanx for the great review tho much appriciate u takin time to review.. always a pleasure !! thanx for the advice again !!
Very Very nice Janglz! Really diggin the vibe on this one...that crunched rythmic sound is really cool, sounds like a steel drum through dist. Nice atmosphere..I like the cut off pattern on the bass filter mod. I have been doing a few songs with that filter pattern and I think it gives the dubstep a more mechanical sound, which is what I.m going for when I make a dubstep track.
Sweet track dude! in the master I would kik up the low end a little more, or put a low sub sine oscillation with the same notes to give it more kick on the bass, but it isnt needed. very atmospheric track that induces paranoia my friend!
Cheers!

I actualy dont use the mastering suite in Reason. I actually have My template set up to load my mixer without it. the only thing, Compression wise I use thats built into reason is the 8 band parallel compression effect..( If you right click on the hardware interface >creat effect>8 band parallel compression. Try it, It makes whatevr you got sound freakin amazing).
Then I adjust the master output level to where the VO - or perceived loudness I guess - is toppin off at 0 decibals (nothing but green on the peak indicators). The lower the mix level is the more room you have for compression in the master.
After I get the mix sounding the way I want it, I export to .wav and then import into wavlab where I do my mastering. I ususally compress the crap outta my clubbier stuff, you know get that shot bangin'. I hope this helps.
BTW if you just eq in Reason with the M-class EQ chained to your hardware interface, you will not have to worry about to much eq work n the master, then all yo have to do is add punch and compression, maybe some slight eq tweaks,but nothing major.
actually that sound is a Congo going threw a 3 inch spkr patch on the Scream unit... Offcoarse tweaked to how i like it.. but i automate the scream to go on n off !!.. this one is still actually not finished .. feel like the track can use another synth!..
Yea First time i tried that wit the bass !! badically random note n rates till i got something that sounded musical !! trial n Error basically !!
yea im still new to mastering myself.. i actually finished school for audio engineering but nothing special had a class on mastering so i know how its supposed to work... sadly enough tho i never take the time to really sit down n master a song of my own !! always have ideas n wanna just move on !!.. but iv decided im ganna pick a bunch of my fav production n Master them !! but who knows wen i find the Time...
so for now im using just the reason mastering !! but i do have a multi band compression plug in on protools.. dont know if its any good yet havent had the time to try it !!
Ohh yea u know me ... i always got them dark tracks lol... scary movie in my head .hha
questioin .. wen using that mastering combinator thing on reason.. n wen making a dub step track.. do u initialze it or pick a patch... to me it seems the hip hop patch works the best for dubstep.. n then i adjust it from there
+++++++++++++ Reply++++++++++++
iight.. definitly ganna try it out ..thanx for all the help... n 4 takin time to review !! ill try to keep them coming !! .lol
I think this track leans heavily into techno territory not that that's a bad thing. I guess I would say that it's electro-house.
It's a well constructed track and the beat was great.
Thanx a Bunch Bro.. Glad u Enjoyed.. yea i agree wit u.. i switched it to Electro .. thats for stopping by my page n listening .. hope to hear from u again.. look out for more Tracks !!
Nice production. Real Thick.I like the keys in the intro a lot. The drum samples are spot on, very tight compression too. The bass kind of teases you by not coming in for a long time. I was thinking in my head "Where's the bass" and then it comes... ha ha! I like the wobble it sounds kind of industrial. What Programs do you use? The only things I could say I would like to hear more of are 1)play with the filter modulator rate and filter range a little more. and 2) The index of the synth on the bass sound can be put to very good use. I use reason to create my bass patches, so I do not know what other synth programs would call it. but it makes a pitch shift in the synth as a layer, i guess... I dont really knwo how to describe its effect, but it makes for great dubstep bass when automated in blocks. Other than that this track is sweet. The production is thick and robust, and the melody is very nice. Great job, Janglz!

DnB is my first love as well. kudos`
I use maelstrom to create basses,.... I know that is backwards but hear me out...First of all, its just easier to use once you get to know the machine. I like how easy it is to apply new layers on the fly.
Now on the maelstrom there is a slider in both synth oscillators labeled index. if you automate that slider on your mid range oscillator(or the one that wobbles, if you do it like I do where there is one synth wobbling and another synth designated to super sub freqs). I like to try to automate the index slider in 1/4 or 1/2 blocks, if you will. This gives each phrase of the bass line a little different character, which makes the overall arrangement more progressive.
You can also make it work with wobble effect in modulator A, just make sure you automate the rate on both modulators the same...if that makes sense.
I have been using reason since it came out and I would strongly suggest ditching the subtractor and learning the Maelstrom, I think it is far superior to the subtractor.
And I have played with Thor enough to get a decent wobble, but man that machine is confusing and it kind of breaks me down just looking at it, So I usually talk myself out of getting to know that one. With that being said...It is def the most customizable synth in the suite.
But, just like old jeans, I just cant quit the Maelstrom, We've had too many good times! ha ha.
Anyway, I hope this helps. I cant wait to hear more of your stuff!
Thanx Bro... IM Also on reason .. almost all my track r made on reason n Mixed on Protools if i ever go back n do i final mix...
Hmm index im tryin to figure out wat u mean by index ? most the basses i make .. i use the Subtractor !! sometimes i use the combinator n throw a Malstrom in there... followed by some Scream 4 ,, Eq , Compression n a maximizer...
really intrested tho !! explain... gimmie a step by step lol.... REASON BASS FOR DUMMIES basically ..lol
thanx for the Review Much appriciate the Help !!
a couple more tracks on ReverB Nation.. check them out if u find some Free Time.... Big Up... thanx again... hopefully my productions shoot up to ur level soon !!!
by the way Drums on all my tracks are all original... i just spend a lot of time spicing them up !! try to make ur my Drums r Top Notch Sound wise... just Bcaz wen i mix i like having them out front !!!... lol dont ask y .. im a long time Drum n Bass Fan.. Love the Drums
i like the chilling atmospheres in this tack. i cannot hear that is is not finished.reminds me of eighties horror movie music somehow lol outstanding track
thanx bro !! glad u like... this is one of my favs too!!... i got this sick track psychotic thoughts comin out !!.. it ready just waiting for looperman to let me upload . if u intrested check the track out on reverbnation ..
Much respect. This is groovy as hell. Very nice drum pattern. I like the snare hit on the 4, thick and grimy. The wobble synths are unique sounding. I like the bass synth. Tweeting monks..lol. sweet chilled out track, great rate work on the filter input. overall sweet to listen to. Cant wait to see what you do with it
thanx.. much appriciate !! i got some other dub step track ready.. just waitin till end of the week so i can upload !!... so check those out see wat u think !!! u know im a fan of ur work for sure !!
