Hi. Thanks for watching. Constructive criticism is a good thing and helps us all get better. Thank for you the useful comments I've had on this. In hindsight, the reverb on the bass wasn't right and I should have looked into a Boss HM-2 style distortion. The compression needs to be pushed harder with the release settings tweaked to give it all a "pump". Their treatment of samples is more raw too with the glitches, pops and aliasing often being deliberately used as part of the sound. Anyway, hope the other stuff gave some pointers.

@ThisIsTheInternet 5 лет назад

Could you consider to not use that filter over the whole video that adds flecks of dust?

@AlexBallMusic 5 лет назад

I quite like it and others say they do too, but I can make it more subtle, sure.

@ThisIsTheInternet 5 лет назад

@@AlexBallMusic The colour grading looks fine, it's just the dust flecks :)

@tylernicolo7654 5 лет назад

@@AlexBallMusic Fuck that I like the dust flecks. Totally agree the reverb on the bass wasn't quite wrong, but it wasn't quite right. Side chain compression triggered by the kick and snare on the whole track would nicely achieve your "pump" effect without crushing it all too hard. Nice work.

For some reason most audio tutorials have terrible production, especially in the intros but you my friend, have wicked skills as both a musician, creative producer and audio engineering with surgical precision. Btw you collection of synths is making me drool.

Your videos are not just enlightening technically, they show considerable musical flair and raw talent. All channelled through heartfelt passion for sharing in a humble and genuine way. I can honestly say at first I thought the sample was from a Gap Band tune or something..the fact it was your own original creation was superb. Do you have your own musical identity as a performer? Do you ever do gigs? Bravo!

@MakeSomething 5 лет назад

Well said. Totally agree.

@AlexBallMusic 5 лет назад

Thank you Simeon, that's very kind of you. I hope the tutorials are of use! Basically RU-vid is a passion project I do late at night. My day job is a composer, producer and supervisor. The gigging story is a long one, perhaps I'll tell it one day if it's relevant.

@rodrigodelprat 5 лет назад

Very cool! Justice's live bass parts always have a really distinctive sound too, especially on the first album. It's like they've got a very distinctive way of bandpass filtering them, with a quite a high Q, so it's "bass" but without much actual bass.

Revisiting this to get ready for Justice's upcoming release. Really this is as good as it gets in terms of youtube tutorials. Bitcrushing and overdrive goes a long way, and the pro one sounds massive. It's worth mentioning the chokehold that the plugin dBlue glitch had on all blog house and french touch at the time. Have an upcoming 8 bar loop and want to do something different, but not feeling particularly ambitious? Have glitch just mess around with it and see what happens!
