Back to dubstep with the third tune >:)
#fawmtronica #edm
After an evening power nap on Feb 3rd, I woke up around midnight and did a 4 hour sound design session which eventually resulted in a short drop-only demo of this tune. First half of my Feb 4th was occupied by work hours so I started writing the intro and build from 5pm-ish, then extended the drop and wrapped the intro around to make an outro at 11pm. Couple final touches to the intro around midday Feb 05 and now it's ready!
Pretty much all the wubs are made with Operator, Vocodex, Spectral Time, max LFO and lots of resampling. You may also catch a glimpse of one of my growl chains in here! At the core of that sound sits an instance of FM8, although I prefer Operator over it these days (i'm a sucker for additive synthesis).
Vocal bits are chopped from KRS One - Phucked and Defari - Smack Ya Face and I also made heavy use of Spectrasonics Distorted Reality 1 again for some layers and atmospheres!

PS: Thank you all for the nice comments on my previous tracks, I read and appreciate all!! I reply to comments and listen to others tunes in bulk so I may take a day or two to react, but I'm always watching :P And yes, my bad that indeed was a Beastie boys sample!
You got the fire, huh?

This is dope! Great production, lyrics and the mix sounds solid. This is totally release worthy. Nice work on this.

Took me back to the late 2010s.. This makes me want to go back to that particular time when I was younger and partying without caring about a global virus but also the music *chefs kiss* And that shot at the end slaps! Thanks for sharing!

This is slaps hard

Really cool sounds and they fit so well together!

Damn, this is a Banger! Working on Ableton too, i really like the idea of showing your DAW. The drop is really huge, congrats !

@chrisjohn thanks i'm glad you dig :^)
the Wubs group has an EQ that scoops the low end at a super steep curve, I set to a highpass somewhere between 90-130hz depending on how much room i need for the sub
The sub itself is a separate instrument, in this tune it's a lowpassed square so and it's fairly resonant. it plays at D# so you may or may not hear it depending on your buds. although i must agree it is a little quiet!
update: I investigated further and decided to just swap the lowpassed square sub for a sine in Operator and added in the 3rd and 5th harmonics by hand. Should be much better now, i replaced the upload. Thanks for your feedback!

DUDE! this is amazing. You got some incredible chops. Love the flow and the sounds so much! and the use of KRS one is legendary. Listening through my shitty ear buds there seems to be plenty of high end frequencies coming through but I am not really 'feeling' the low end. How are you EQ'ing your low end wubs? Do you cut off the lowest frequencies and boost that which is most prominent in each?
Awesome track! cant wait to see more and thank you for posting a video and what you use. Really useful for people like me who are always wondering how other artists are doing what they do!
Thanks!
