reminds me of an 18 year old japanese producer who I heard saying that he reckoned that europeans wouldnt be able to do the kind of music he was putting out..
The funny part was he that he was writing plain old happy hardcore which went out of style in europe 10 years ago.... :roll:
Its "new" to Japan though I suppose..
yeah thanx for that ...................helped me loads to understand how its done?????????????????

i like this sound when it's not too overdone (it is in this example). I like sebastian's song "Ross Ross Ross" because it's short and there's more of a flow to it. Also Kissy Sell Out's remix of Gwen Stefani - Blink It Up is a tasteful use of this.


would like to know how it's done as well. is it just slicing up samples and rearranging? very slick technique, though i'd like to use it sparingly in my own productions...

FWIW I wasnt replying to your post, I was simply making a comment on amblin's comment...


As for how its done, its really nothing more than techniques used by many other producers, mix and match to make the sound you are looking for, There is hardly ever just one or two things that define a sound but rather many things..
Sometimes a producer can even end up with a certain result by mistake through experimentation...so i say, try it your way and see what happens..

That's exactly how I was feeling. Ross Ross Ross is a good example of how he uses it well. It's my favorite song of Sebastian's.

precisely my point.............did you read the post thread?then why do you feel anyone cares about your meaningless knowledge its about how to produce the track.and you say its been tried and tested by many a producer blahdy blah well thanx again by that meaningless piece of information.the reason we want to know is because most dont sound like this so why dont you write a book to show the world you spend most of your time trying to learn about the art rather than experiment yourself because you wont accept you just haven't got it.id love to hear your tracks.... put a link in this thread so i can hear what you do.you never know you might redeem yourself.

people are forgetting what this forum is about.i'll remind the novelists...its called sound design-how to get that sound not retards tell me what you've read lately.

all the best people;)

did you read the post thread?


Of course, but a thread is not always about the first post..
I was responding to someone saying that this was a new genre which is a ridiculous statement and has to have been made by someone who is younger than 20 and who has a limited knowledge of what has come before in the world of electronica...
then why do you feel anyone cares about your meaningless knowledge
why care about anything that anyone posts?...welcome to the interwebz..
the reason we want to know is because most dont sound like this
we? who is we? do you speak for the original poster and other people in this thread?
because you wont accept you just haven't got it.
:lol: you came to that conclusion from one obscure post?..man youre a genius..
id love to hear your tracks.... put a link in this thread so i can hear what you do.
Why should I? To prove to some sour-puss with 9 KVR posts that I have a right to have an opinion on music?...I've been listening to electronica for 18 years, thats enough reason for me...

you never know you might redeem yourself.
Its top of my list Mister 9 posts...
people are forgetting what this forum is about.
This forum is about a lot of things..one of those things is expressing your opinions..
and anyway, how do you know Mister 9 posts?
i'll remind the novelists...its called sound design-how to get that sound not retards tell me what you've read lately.
So I'm a retard now for making one post?...

You wont last long on KVR with that attitude especially if this is how you react to posts that werent even directed at you...you'll have a lot of flaming to do!

:roll:

I'm finished with this thread now...bye..

I asked for help and advice on sound design/techniques, not your opinion, or rather anyones.
As to the "new genre", Ed banger's been doing this kinda stuff since 2003 if i'm not wrong.
it can be classified as "new rave, nu rave, new wave, blog house, french touch, electro clash, thrash, mash, or whatever the kids are calling it these days"

really i'm sure the sound has been around for a while, but the movement hadn't. so the genre really relates to the movement at the moment and thats why its big.

I think rather than analyzing genre names and movements, we should be discussing production methods. and i know there isn't just one route to achieve this sound, that's why were talking here so we can FIGURE OUT ways.

ps- anyone seen or tried that new SugarBytes Effectrix plug. bet yuh that would be great for this type of production. get some great sounds from that.

Viral, when you got the compression right, try playing around with some big sounding toms and acoustic/electric bassamples. There is just something special about heavily compressed toms. Once again I recommend the new compressor in Live 7, it's a godsend.

Taking short snippets from rock tracks is a really nice way that both Justice and SebastiAn has done (suspect they even got a library of guitarstabs categorized, judging from Justice Klaxon remix). Hard to give any tips about the sampling part since it basically boils down to record digging.

A little tip though if you are lazy and have ripped the tracks/downloaded them, and you want a little order among the potential tracks you are about to sample, is to use MixedInKey
http://www.mixedinkey.com/

I was really surprised when I tried it and it actually seemed to work (although it would sometimes mix up the major scale with the minor descending scale it relates to). There you can categorize whole libraries in different scales for a nice overview.

The mix in this sounds quite messy, but I like that BT-ish stuttering here. :P

Mix-wise, there's not a lot of low end, which is probably why everything fits in so nicely. It sounds 'clear' but I like low ends to be loud as well, not piffy. :P

Does this SebastiAn guy have a myspace page or something? I'd like to hear other examples.

Can you elaborate on this a little?
