    How to make 80's orchestral stabs??

    Ha knaaa mean?! Lion-Ucs, safe for the post, man. I've made big stabs before, but I tended towards more 'real' sounding instruments/samples then. Octaved them and all that. I think I was looking for a lazy way to get it in a synth, so it had a more synthetic sound and less time consuming. I...

    How to make 80's orchestral stabs??

    Appreciate the reply. Anyone else can help with a more intstructive way of how to go about doing this?! Need some nice synthetic 80's sounding stab. Got one on an instrument I don't own, doesn't sound exactly how I want it though, so would like more creative control.

    DreamPolice: What sort of thing is your reel aimed towards? Sounds like it'd be good for Video Game stuff, could probably get some good sync deals IMHO. Very well put together stuff. For both it's production and musical values. Medl4: Cool stuff, I like the drums, I can see uses for it. What's...

    Cool beat above, sounds like it needs to be tore up by some sick bars.

    What do you all think of this kinda shizz???

    Likewise. I look forward to it. The odd thing is, my music started leaning this way on its own, thought I was beginning to find my own sound/category, on the off chance just found out(like 2 days ago) that people are making this shit. I went from hip-hop, to nu-disco, to electro-house, to...

    What do you all think of this kinda shizz???

    It was listed on beatport under 'Glitch-Hop'. Though glitch-hop I got shown was really 'agreeable' and dull sounding compared to this. Sounds like funky electro hiphop to me. Some of them I thought quite cool.

    I think this sounds mega Some sick flow could be devastating on a track like this.

    Thanks, brother. Much appreciated Sick beat, I like the dissonance in the sample, gives a haunting feeling. This would get maaadly ripped by a sick vocal. I imagine listening to Meth or such types ripping this to shreds. Top stuff.

    Do you "songwrite" when you create a beat, or do you just make the beat?

    ^This, definitely. Basically, It sucks to be stuck! Is real whack when you find a cool vocalist to work with (or whatever), or any sort of project for that matter, and you suddenly need to do somethign that you can't really manage. Best way to improve this is by working on projects that make...

    Which sounds are these?

    I'm talking about the brief 16th note stab, lasts like 1/4 of a second.

    Which sounds are these?

    There's a a couple of sounds in this track I'm sure are presets somewhere or are typical sounds as I've heard them in tracks by other producers etc... The first is a zappy /stabby sound which only hits briefly, it hits on the off beats, usualy just before or after a snare. The second is a...

    Massive Presets...?

    Finally got my hands on Massive, hoorah! Having a fiddle with it, getting used to using it, but I seem to have no presets whatsoever... is there anywhere you can acquire the original presets/file for it??? Thanks

    Dubstep production in hip-hop music?

    That 2nd Foreign Beggars track is pretty cool to be honest! Dubstep with "urban"/rap vocals basically ends up = Grime. It seems pretty much unavoidable, I think it's due to the 2 step(?) pattern at those 130-140 tempos that causes the rhythm of the flow to sound that way. That Nero track...

    Do you "songwrite" when you create a beat, or do you just make the beat?

    Personally, this is just my 2, 4, and 30pence... When you plan on working with a vocal artist/topliner (as in someone writing the lyrics), the structure of the song can change... this is why I would say it's not necessary to worry about having a perfectly defined structure to the song before...
