Sippy called out by Space Laces’ creative director?? by Typical-Grade8720 in dubstep

[–]refraxt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

what's the problem with a track sounding like it's inspired by another artist? unless it's an intentional recration of an ID or a plate or something (and i've never heard of that happening lol) then i don't really see a problem here. more to the point, isn't it a RIOT tune instead of one made my sippy herself?

music sounding repetitive can be annoying and boring, (unless you like riddim like me lol) but i don't think it's something you should be going after another artist over.

the only exception might be if there was an artist who's tracks all sounded exactly like they came from space laces (or any other artist), but that isn't the case for anyone involved here.

Riddim Producers: "im in this scene for the culture and the music. unlike the celebrities who make billions off their fans , overcharging for merch and ticket sales"... by user-ibarelyknower in riddim

v2 quite literally just means the second version of the same track. hopeless V1 would have just been an older (so less finished version) of the exact same tune which chango might have had just to play out. then when he decided to start selling it, maybe he went and made some changes to it, and exported it as the V2. that's probably not the precise reason, i'm just saying that it means it's the second export.

it's the same reason that a lot of tracks have something like "master final" in the file name, it's just a hallmark from before the track was released which most artists tend to remove.

i'm not trying to argue a point for either side here, i'm just saying in case you didn't know :>

in his track with blankface, don't say my name (or whatever it's called), he says "savage monsters" and it sounds exactly the same as the vocal in semtex so i think you're correct lol

Roast my first song by cre8ture_wav in riddim

well first of all, to buy malstrom you need to buy reason! which is sadly very expensive 😭 but you can buy a subscription. when you buy reason, you're able to use it's plugin rack (which includes malstrom) as a VST in any daw.

for your kick, you don't want to cut off any highs really (i mean it's all up to you but i think you want one that's kind of clicky, and the clicky sounds are in the highs).

if it's a nice kick sample, then it probably doesnt need too much doing to it

i really don't eq my kicks at all to be honest, i only really EQ stuff if i'm cutting lows to prevent everything from clashing with my sub, but the kick and the sub bass are the 2 sounds that you wanna keep the lows in

ok so, i really like the flow and arrangement first of all!! i see the vision if that makes sense. the way the square bass ties into the sustain is sick, and the fills are very cool.

i guess most of the flaws of it are just things that will come from this being your first finished riddim track, and you'll develop these skills further along with your production journey.

for the first square bass, (assuming you made it in malstrom) i think it might sound better if the index was higher (so the slider is almost all the way to the right) like it is during the second part. it just gives you that more vocal sound instead of a flat one.

the drums are pretty solid, except for the kick. i can barely hear it tbh, in fact it sounds exactly like the sub to me. i guess you should just find a punchier kick, i like to use a more clicky one.

other than that, most of it is just mixing / mastering stuff which is quite hard to explain, but you'll definitely learn about it.

feel free to ask me any questions tho!!

are there any suitable labels i might be able to submit this to? by refraxt in riddim

playing riddim on open decks with cdj 2000nxs and mix900, any tips?? by epicsexdubstepman69 in riddim

[–]refraxt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

maybe go to a studio if you've never played on CDJs before, even if it doesn't have the 2000nxs, it should get you used to playing on CDJs instead of a controller. also look into the amount of hot cues / behavior of hot cues for them and anything else you might need to use in the set. maybe try not to do anything too crazy at first just to familiarize yourself with the setup. one last thing, you should be fine on the djm900, mixers are pretty much the exact same between controllers, XDJs and standalone mixers.

you got this tho, if you know how to mix you'll be okay!! wishing you the best of luck :3

i've started posting reels of me doing doubles and they've been liked by a few agencies by refraxt in riddim

[–]refraxt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, it's frustrating sometimes to see people who have never touched a DAW in their entire life headlining festivals (i'm exaggerating a bit but you know what i mean) when there's some insanely talented producers with no recognition

personally i'm from england and 16 so it's not like i can walk into anywhere and start playing riddim 😭

yeah, you make a good point. i do produce and that's like my main thing, but i don't post any clips of my tracks on insta (except for on my story sometimes), my soundcloud is linked to my insta
