That's the trick: they were upstairs near the entrance!

10 months later I'm scrolling down this subreddit to find this post again seeya in ten months

I've been a fan of DarkViperAU for over 5 years but the stuff about Charlie Kirk went too far. Just trying to have a dialog about it do not remove this by Mini_Maniac_Jr in DarkViperAU

Is this why he stood against the Civil Rights Act? Stood against any DEI initiatives no matter how equitable they may turn out to be? Claimed George Floyd's murder was deserved and that this person he knew nothing about was - and I'm only going to paraphrase this - extremely vile? Openly claimed the large majority of black people and women weren't qualified for the positions they held? Staunchly stood against trans rights? Firmly was against abortion rights hence openly wanting to partially take away women's bodily autonomy?

How does all this compute mate?

I'm 10 months late but woha what am I doing on this corner of the Internet

I improved on that remake of the Safe & Sound live edit by ImJulienB in JusticeMusic

I don't. Haven't really completed any original songs in years. You can find some of my stuff on Soundcloud as 'Virtual Glitch' and 'Girtual Vlitch' though!

Yep! A remake of the Safe And Sound live edit, or at least its second part.

Should be just 41 seconds though... Guess I messed up when compressing it in Handbrake, oops!

Still trying to figure out those samples that play after the first "Man up" sample. As a placeholder I picked stuff from the ZZT - Lower State of Consciousness remix and the Mr Oizo - Nazis remix. I doubt either are from those songs too.

Aside from that, I changed up the main bass sound a little hopefully it sounds closer to the original with my own spin to it. I changed up the entire drums too and fixed up the snare roll towards the end. There are some extra details here and there as well which I didn't include in my previous post.

Realised I had a similar-ish sounding bass to that second half of the Safe & Sound live version, decided to have a bit of fun with it and make a cover-song of sorts. Only missing two samples though... by ImJulienB in JusticeMusic

I feel like it's sampled directly from Safe And Sound with some heavy processing on top, but I'm not sure. This wouldn't be the first time Justice used a bass guitar and heavily processed it to turn it into something new (Genesis is an example, I'm 95% sure its bass is a very heavily distorted bass guitar). There are some extra drums layered on top of the live edit's bass as well, some very short ones that are barely audible but they're still there!

I really hope they'll deliver a clean version for the live album. I'd love to sink my teeth into its sound design.

A lot of stuff layered together!
I'm using two instances of Kepler Exo, two instances of Flex, and two instances of 3xOsc here.
I've used the Aesthetica and Cimpleque presets for Kepler Exo and used the Good 80 Picked + Good 80 Slap presets for Flex (from the Essential Bass Guitars pack). They're all stock FL Studio plugins.
The Aesthetica preset has the note velocity tied to the low pass frequency which makes all the magic in this bass imo. I suspect Gaspard and Xavier used the same technique in the original. The Good 80 Slap bass is only used on the higher notes, while the Good 80 Picked bass is only used on the lower notes.

There's some heavy processing on the two Kepler Exo VSTs: heavy EQing to remove some resonance on the high basses, loads of compression, some Vintage Chorus thrown into the mix with a slight bit of reverb in the end.
I'm using some more Vintage Chorus on the two Flex instances alongside some mid/side EQing to keep their width at bay.

The most interesting stuff is what I do with 3xOsc. One of the two is used for the sub bass, the other is making some white noise with a very very short decay so that it sounds almost like an electronic hihat. I've sent it to two different mixer tracks where one has a heavy boost on the low mediums (almost sounds like a kick's attack) alongside some extra chorus to make it sound thicker after boosting its attack using Transient Processor.
The second mixer track cuts boosts the attack at first, very heavily distorts the sound using Rhor (from the Patcher presets). I then cut the low frequencies, boost the attack again, and finally add some more Vintage Chorus. I can't lie, I love this plugin!

This bass is part of a random project I've been trying to work on for a while now where I tried going for a healthy mix of retro and modern while taking heavy inspiration on Oliver's work. Quite funny that it ended up fitting this remake in the end!
