niiiiiiice one.. waited soooooo long for this!!! :) but this is much different version played 2022 at Tacoma Dome or 1st BankCenter and Lost Lands.. will miss that one..
I've waited SO LONG. I first heard this in a video of your show at the stadium, and it along with your absolutely amazing visuals inspired me to write a whole ass animated movie that is one huge tribute to bass music. It would be wild if it got made one day, and as a result it would bring heavy electronic music to the big screen ❤
Hi, Subsidia Dropbutton guy here. This is going to be a long and boring essay on the modern bass music, but I think that this is quite important for both listeners and producers. Even though I have a decent understanding of music and its production, I am nowhere close to being an actual producer, so take my words with the grain of salt. Continuation in the replies section.
After listening to more than 300 songs on Subsidia and countless more on other Dubstep labels, I caught myself thinking that they all kinda boring. I am not talking in terms of arrangement or sound design, I just think that they all are lacking character. This is especially noticeable when I am looking at Disciple and Excision, who are currently among the leaders in the bass music scene and have the potential to change the course of the scene completely by creating memorable and impactful tracks. Unfortunately, they are not using their power and seem to stagnate either at the point of vapid and boring Riddim which is absent of any memorable caharacter (The majority of Disciple) or repetitive and poorly mixed Briddim (Lost Lands producers including Excision).
Considering that, after analysing all of those tracks with those that I found more enjoyable and memorable, I came up with a list of things that I think modern Dubstep tracks are lacking. I don't think that I have better understanding of what music needs because I have much less experience than any of those producers, so this is my subjective opinion and I am sorry in advance if I made any mistakes in it.
1. Arrangement While I play around in the FL Studio, I often find myself stuck in a stereotypical situation, where I made 8-bar loop, which I find genuinely good, but I don't know what to do next and how to make a proper song out of what I came up with. Modern producers seem to have an exactly opposite problem. They can arrange an entire track, but they don't have a good structure on a smaller scale. It is usually a quarter bar noisy Trollphase type bass stabs or Tearout-ish machine gun basses accompanied by some sort of screech or sustained bass. It is a strong and rhythmic design, but it is just too repetitive and needs a lot of modulation and chopping to not become boring. I believe that producers should take their time to come up with something more complex and creative rather than 8-bar loop with variations that can be made using sample and hold lfo's in Vital Synth. Good examples of great small scale arrangement are tracks by Xtrullor (Supernova, Ego Death, Ichor) or RIOT (Entire Dogma Resistance album, seriously, it is gorgeous). Producers shouldn't be afraid to make unusual time signatures or alternatives to Call-and-Response structure. I understand that labels are expecting some sort of conformity, but not every track must be uploaded to a label and If it will become successful then labels should consider including its characteristics in their standards.
2. Sound design Modern sound design capabilities are much more powerful and vast than those of the decade ago, but a lot of it doesn't seem to be used to its full potential. Modern sounds have so much layers that individual sounds loose their character and become one fuzzy mess not much different from just noise, practically indistinguishable between different tracks (things are so bad that Ray Volpe managed to get 500k+ streams on Lazerbeam just because he suddenly remembered that pitch of the sounds can be changed with lfo's and melodies can be placed mid-drop, but more on that later). To stop that from happening either use drastically different sounds occupying different frequencies on the spectrum or apply some drastic effects such as frequency shifters or multiband pitch shifters on the entire group of layers. That way frequencies in-between harmonics will not be lost, keeping it full and fat, but also sound gains special character, which can be hard to recreate even if you will try to. Examples of good sound designers are Derpcat, Ecraze, Cromatik and Au5, with the latter making lots of really good and useful tutorials on this topic.
3. Mixing It's just my personal preference, but I think that there should be more frequencies in the 100-300 Hz range. As far as I understand, in most modern mixes there is a gap in this range so that frequencies of super low Sub Bass distorted with other elements don't mess with each other. It is done to make clear loud mixes, because of the way our brains receive vertically distorted sounds louder than they actually are. However, that removes the body of a sound, where the most powerful frequencies are, making the entire mix screechy and flat. In my opinion, sounds should be distorted separately (as long as you are not going for that HOL! ultra fat bass) with a soft saturator on the master to glue them together, and if you want to have louder music - you should just increase the volume.
