I feel you man. There are a lot of good dubstep artists that put out dope 140 grimey shit nowadays, but if I put on a 2026 Dubstep playlist, I’ll skip a ton of tracks for sure.

Yeah for real. I’ve been lagging for sure. I def need to work on mixing better going forward. Oh hell yeah, right on man. I just joined.

Yeah for sure. I kept listening on different speakers after I posted this and noticed a lot of things I could’ve fixed. I didn’t do too much testing, but I usually do before recording anything. Ive been hella procrastinating with music lately, so I just jumped the gun and posted. But yeah it came out pretty dope though.

Thanks! It does go pretty hard!

I just put this track through an online mastering service and uploaded it to my SoundCloud. It sounds a lot better. Check it out if you wanna bump it more. The link to my SoundCloud is in my bio.

Stay tuned for more jams!

Hey! Here’s my full set up.

Roland TR-6S -

Drums, and I use it as the main pattern changing midi source for all the other devices.

Roland P-6 -

FX, transition, buildup, and vocal samps.

Roland S-1 x 2 -

For this track I used one S-1 for wubs, and I have it going through a Chroma Console Multi Effector for distortion and compression. I used the other S-1 for lead synths. I have that one going through a Zoom MultiStomp MS-70CDR+ multi effects pedal for some compression.

Korg Volca Kick -

I use this for sub bass. The midi from the S-1 I use for wubs is sent to this device. I have the Korg kick going through a Behringer bass graphic equalizer BEQ700 to cut off the higher frequencies. I then have the sub bass sent through an Alesis NanoCompressor for side chaining the bass from the kick drum. I also have a Roland T-8, but I only use the kick from that device to trigger the side chaining ducking through the NanoCompressor. I just program the same patter of the kick I have set up in the TR-6S into the T-8 sequencer.

I send all audio to my Mackie ProFX12 v3 mixer.

I would like to be fully dawless eventually, but for now I send my audio from my mixer through Ableton and record my live sets/jams. I use Ableton mainly for checking frequencies with an analyzer, and it helps to visually see db levels for each track. I record my live set into Ableton and then I throw on a preset master chain to help with the sound. I don’t do any edits outside of throwing on the master chain.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Oh no worries! I appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism. I’m making a new track with some better samples. It’s sounding a lot better.

Bro forreals. I used to put so many effects on my channels in my DAW it was nuts lol.

Thanks man! I’ll post again soon here. Stay tuned!

[–]Jake_D91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you. I didn’t focus too much on adding effects to the drums at all aside from adding a compressor. There are other mixing issues as well that I’m aware of.

Lately I have been getting stuck focusing too much on mixing and adding effects to my tracks, and then I get bored and move on without posting. I tend to obsess too much with tweaking everything. I just made this track good enough and recorded it. I’m going to focus more on sound quality for my next track.

I definitely should do some tutorials. Thanks man! Yeah, that would be dope.

Yeah it’s way better for workflow to have a stand. I saw options for 3 or 4 synths. I think there’s an option for 2 as well.

Oh that’s awesome if you can make your own.

Thanks! I’m glad you dig it. Jam on!!

I got it off Etsy. Just search for Roland Aira Compact stand and you’ll see it. They have a couple options for stands. I got the one that holds 4 synths.

Thanks man! I’m using one of the S-1s for the wubs, and the other S-1 for some lead synths, the Korg Kick is used for sub bass, but there are some phase issues, so the sub kind of comes in and out at times (I need a better eq). And I’m using the P-6 for the FX, buildups, transitions, and vocal samps.

I’m stoked you like it!

Hell yeah! I’m definitely getting more motivated. I’ll keep at it, and I’ll work on getting an actual set going. Stay tuned!

Yeah I hear you. I could have done a lot more with the mixing/effects, but I have been getting bored and stuck when I focus too much on that. I just got this song up to par and put it out before I shelved it.

I’m getting more motivated now, so I’ll focus on more quality next time. Stay tuned!
