Track Release: Digital Noesis - Oppenhiemer's Dream

[MidnightSensi]

I posted a mix from my set last week and a few people took a liking too it. I'm starting to get into dubstep (a genre) production, and I now have a pre-release of my first track. It's already starting to circulate a bit and get some good comments so I'm happy about that.

Hm, well it's dubstep... but I love cinematics and dramatic builds. This track has a deep, deep, thick bassline (get your subwoofers ready) with a deep whobble bass drop common to the genre. What is different is that I have put the light tones of sympheny above the darkness.

Without further rambles, I give you....

I realize dubstep isn't a popular form of music on here, however, I figured I might get to learn a little bit about how it sounds in the field.... or maybe just spread some free tunes around.

Enjoy.

Sensi,

please upload your files as zip. MP3 can't go through many work firewalls, like mine :\

Is this a sub warmer?

I like the main idea, but you got some clipping occurring that you really should take care of, around 2:50 it becomes very noticeable. Give the tracks some dynamics, there's no need to have it on the red all the time. This is Audioholics
The LF drone could use some movement, maybe with a LP filter and varying cutoff frequency and Q, or even some rythm.
I also found the rhythm part a bit loud for my taste, I would prefer it more subdued. I liked the beat not being always on time.

This is just me imagining how I would remix your track

Yeah, I know. The subbass is hugely thick and I kept it clean, as to "pressurize" the room. Then I put a wobble on top, that is highly distorted to make it sound like the room is going to come apart. It sounds absolutely kickass in a club... because it sounds like the walls are going not the speakers, not so great on a home stereo.

The clipping is in her voice, and unfortunetly it is a sampled recording. I'm going to work on polishing her. That was just a pre-release, and I'm working on cleaning her voice and playing with the levels. I agree it needs more dynamics.

Right now I'm working on another track. When I finish up this next one, I'd love to post it and see what you think of the sound. This one doesn't use any old samples, so I think it should be clean sounding. When I fix the other I'll repost also.

I'm keeping the levels much lower to increase dynamics. I've been listening to way too many pop recordings haha.

Maybe I'll post what I have so far fairly soon. It is another subwoofer rocker.

Yeah, the drums I manually place because I hate timed drums. They are pretty close so they it can be beatmatched and doesn't run off, but I go +/- half a bpm or so throughout the track.

It did pressurize the room, I'm glad to have the amplifier at arm's reach

That was a nice trick. The delayed snare hit could use it. The listener is expecting the delay to hit and you hold it back a little more from time to time, just to keep them interested.

Nice I believe this track could be great, I really should work a little more on it.
Where's the vocal from?

Haha. The version I had up was the original, which is the thickest. I've since lowered it, because I think it is more important that I just keep that nice deep drone since the bass level can be user controled. I'll still keep it really thick, but, I'm bringing the level down.

I need to play around with using the "equation" tools that allow you to make things a little out of time but stay within a range. I'm trying to do it manually now and its a bit tricky.

Thanks!

The vocal is from Henryk Gorecki's III'd. The lyrics were found written on the wall of a concentration camp by a young girl. It's in polish. I highly recommend you pick it up, the whole thing is absolutely beautiful.

It still needs a lot of work, I'm going to be up late tonight preparing it for tomorrow.

I couldn't get it to work either, do you have another format you can link to?

I've since taken it down to work on it some more. I'll let ya know when I re-upload.

Cheers and thanks for the interest!
