Edition Audiotool: AT Workshow

a-records · started 2018-06-06 18:24 · updated 2018-09-20 01:41

Hey folks,

For the next Edition Audiotool Album we are looking for tracks in which you use a certain technique that might be of interest to other producers.
Whether sound design - synthetic drums, wobbles, 808 basses, Pads etc. - or mastering, EQing - shows us the special tricks that make up your sound.
Style doesn't matter with this album.

Please make sure that the track title includes the technique you are presenting and write a short explanation in the track description.

Because this task is a bit more demanding, we give you four weeks - means 4 July - to finish the tracks.

We hope for active participation
~

Why not? If you have one already you just have to add the technique to the title and write a description. Or you could make a remix with some modifications

Nechurot - Gibberish. 6 months, this never got old to me. im convinced I made something unique. i made it in a few hours, so a little mixing changes and some more features and it'll be good to go!

"You have it or you don't." That's a fallacy.

Naming the tracks and the short description is a must, not a wish

if i may, i have three tracks to share, because my style cant be explained in one track
it seems like im one upping everyone but instead its more a matter of showcasing a repetition of technique

i tend to layer melodies and even hide them in chords to create even more complex chords and fast chord changes

my drums are almost always based on my real life drumming, and i like to incorporate fills
i sometimes layer samples together to make new sounds

my synths are always drowned in reverb to fill in the gaps and create a sense of space
i tend to mix abrasive and sharp synths with lush and soft synths to convey different emotions, usually of pain, angst, and depression

in terms of mixing/mastering i always use a multiband compressor, with the most compression being in the mids
then i merge all the bands into one unit, with tube, compression, and crusher in that order
in older songs it may vary

All right, so right now we have some chatter and one legit submission.

oh damn i forgot to put my songs lol

here they are:

https://www.audiotool.com/track/soldado_w_bedtundy_known_ft_ble/ - the instrumental of this track (https://www.audiotool.com/track/soldado-plw9xvf/) was made after the end of a relationship
there are points where there are multiple melodies clashing with each other to create an unsettling feeling, like the pressure is building up and you have so much going on
the song has its nice moments and its harsh moments
this contrast is meant to remind the listener that no matter how much anger they are feeling towards their situation or people (in this case the end of my relationship at the time), every cloud has its silver lining and they will not suffer for long, and god has a plan and purpose for everyone and will not let you rot in your suffering (i know not everyone believes in that but i do)
despite this, however, the track was mixed to sound raw and distorted to represent an underlying anger throughout the song that the listener can choose to stew in or let it fade away, replacing it with the pleasant feelings the song is trying its absolute best to convey despite all the acrimony and despair behind it
but the song chooses to be empathetic to the listener and focus more attention on its feelings than its own
when i approached bedtundy and bleu for this track and we published it with a rap and a cleaner mix, it completely changed the mood of the song without the instrumental losing its empathy
the melodies maintained its purpose, stacking on top of one another to represent the pressure building up from the struggles of rising up and standing out from a community where raw and humble talent had become less appreciated and giving a great big fuck you to those who hurt the vocalist and the listener, empowering them to confront the 'shallow bitch' and let them know that they will not be allowed to reopen the wounds they've inflicted upon the vocalist and listener

this is just an example of what i try to do with my tracks, i tend to convey what i'm feeling during production using every aspect, including mixing and mastering, and sound quality
also forgive me for the long explanation, i figured id tell people how i interpreted the song as well

Didn't know this was here. But I have a good Idea to show one of my techniques I've been using for a long time. It involves high-tempo IDM/Drill and Bass drum programming.

It's been scientifically proven you can't synthesize drums on audiotool.

@nechurot Back in the days where people have hardware devices to make music, we call the operation of configuring machines to make the right sounds / rhythm "programming". E.g., "Program your synth to a certain sound" "Program my drummachine to play DnB"
