Dr Ddub

8 miles high track creative notes: I first started this track a long time ago with my own vocals on my page named "last rights", but literally no one listened to it so I decided to reopen the project and take it in a different route. I wanted to create a vibe of some sort of protagonist adventure through life's struggles, not knowing the difference between heaven and hell, so he gets a taste of both during his extension "8 miles high". then when he finally meets his maker he realizes that his time on earth was wasted on pointless and trivial things. In the first segment I wanted a chill and low key vibe. I used dual drums sets from the artic dubstep packs, a low key arpeggio from artic dubstep packs, slowly building up with bass, guitar then choir parts. I wanted to keep it going with that build technique, so I then added more sequencers and switched up bass to round out the bottom to give it a full rich sound. During the first "middle 8" I wanted a soft piano sound but was frustrated with the same old sounds, so I used 3 different piano loops, 2 from the newer catastrophe soundtrack pack and one of my favorites from the old ambient packs "tender grand piano", then sent both pianos from the catastrophe pack to pan hard left and hard right with the 3rd different piano dead center, it gave it a rich and glorious sound, a technique everyone should try. Now with the mega drop I went with another sample I love the biggest pad from artic dubstep, it really pushes the mix to the next drop where I incorporate a combo I use alot, main hoover from the Dutch house pack mixed with the screaming synth from one of the old metal packs. Now we have ascended and get a peek behind the gates, the heavenly arpeggios from artic dubstep and 3 different choir samples. then the final curtain where our protagonist realizes his demise and regrets, a somber outro with ambient textures. Top mixes I love on my page: "Cyanide Rain" "Witch House" "No Reason" "Beautiful Disaster" "§un" Correction...... all my heroes are gone,, except a few,, let them be known,,, they are the pure,, the unforgettable,, the stone.... true to the night: latest new track I've made in a long time, got inspired by ko.mari.k and her remix On the Road: the hitchhiker the path The Phoenix chapter 1 {ignition} chapter 2 {from the ashes} chapter 3 {Fallen 13th step} chapter 4 {Æulogy} Horror at Old Black Creek, 4 part Musical. chapter 1- Guess who's coming for dinner? chapter 2- Lake side getaway chapter 3- Lady in the lake chapter 4- Ghost of Old Black Creek I have breached the long lost archive of my lost songs, and now cataloging them into a mega drop. I will be releasing them as bundles or albums. I will log each album here to better understand the collection. A lot of these artifacts are personal and monumental to me and need some background story line. this is my final session, once I've dropped all my tracks, there is not going to be any new releases. the artists I respect the most here, are not even giving me the time, I've pretty much been on the side lines far to long to care anymore. I'm only archiving them here for my own enjoyment, don't care about what people say, think or hear. 6th Album: earthly essence, sounds from ancient and alienistic times...... 5th Album: probably my favorite collection. Mainly comprised of dark, depressing and brooding music ever heard. Few noted under description as top favorites of mine. 4th Album: Sample based- for this portion I used a abundant collection of samples from multiple movies, tv, and horror shows. my main influences are skinny puppy, a 80's and 90's industrial band that used similar styles of old and odd samples in their music. These tracks have a lot of emotional scars that dives deep into one's psychology 3rd Album: (Vocal pack flips) - these are my flips of packs with a main vocal or vocals, I was trying to generate a concept around the vocals but totally rearrange the instruments. 2nd Album: (Dark Light) (Dark Light pack remixes, one of my most favorite vocals) (4 tracks), "Dark Light (remix)" one of my most favorite tracks. "Believe" was a mash up of 3 vocals packs. First Album: (Reggae Dub era) 8 tracks Binge cringe on the fringe Sloppy mincing eye dropping Biopsy cyclops overlooks Optic options Rotten showstopper skinpopper Babbler dabbler Self confessed criminal Tore pen in vain Instant still spellbound Game stock talk back rock Re-encounter incident Subsistence existent Non committed Unwitted oblivious Habitual resistor Buff the stuff Roughed up edge Fluent nudge Pre-collect ignition Motivation inexistent Wasted views That's all they see blue Hot blood guild Optic nerve With the right attitude You will succeed blue Self abusive recluse Too late for me Make shifting peace Settling crazy things Keep your eyes open Soft spoken changes nothing A view so cruel Hate comes in many forms, up front n in yo face,, and then there's the silent types, ones who use to call you their friends but now ignore you, pass you by,, damn that's a shame, I've swallowed my pride, reached out to those who snubbed me before,,, but still you walk by, nose up in da air like it aint no thang,, shit, that's messed up,, wake da fuck up stop n smell yo shit do stink,, say hi, don't be fake!!! It's sad that sometimes our emotions control us, don't give in to the negative, stand strong. Now we know where we stand trolls, stay in your lane. Mastering and Recording Tips: Krank up the Mastering volume, then use subtle individual instrument adjustments. Don't use fx fade in, when you let go of your finger it gives a harsh change, only rookies do this. Don't be a genre snob,, experiment with all sounds and packs. When you think you got a good mix, listen to it over n over again. There's always room for improvement. You need DYNAMICS, can't stress that enough, if you're song is repetitive and boring well ya it is just that. Use fx and builds, use sounds from Rando packs to pump life into that dull ass track of yours. Never underestimate the power of the middle "8". The Beatles were masters of this,, listen n learn... A captivating intro and conclusive outro is the deity of the art of muse,, use it wisely!!! Again check yo volume levels. Not all mmj sounds are created equal,, some you may need to double up on, and then maybe get creative and use the free panning fx(non pro),, Creativity is KING!!! Don't be a wet sponge, absorb creative juices from the community, No not the trend page but the "latest " page,, so much talent goes unnoticed!!! before Recording, fix all nuances. Remember Volume!!! CREATIVITY!!! Don't be repetitive!!!
