Hi, first blog right here.

While many here (or anywhere else for that matter) might not recognize my name, I'd wager that a lot have at least heard the bespoke music I produced for the HDH Invitational intro.

Yes, 'twas I who made that totally over-the-top Drum & Bass piece for that wonderfully nuke-filled video. And I'm sure by now that most people have already left this page, as they are sick to death of that tune, or because I started a sentence with the word "and" for no good reason.

However, for the rest of you:

I also produce/compose other styles of music, but that's not what this blog post is about. Today I want to share with you one of my numerous side-projects; my new(ish) and semi-regular series of 25 minute mixes. Each one with it's own genre/theme.

Thus far I've put out four mixes and I'd like to share them with you, oh wonderful people of TL, in an effort to perhaps give something back to those who give me so much entertainment every day. Here they are. Enjoy.

- 25 Minutes of Glitch

- 25 Minutes of Dubstep

- 25 Minutes of D'n'B

- 25 Minutes of "Burial-Step"


I hope you all enjoy the mixes. I'll keep you all updated on any future... err.. updates.

Well, there you have it. My first blog post on TL. That wasn't so painful was it? Or maybe it was. In which case, I apologise profusely.

J

Very cool, I'm listening to the DnB right now. What kind of tools do you use to make this kind of music?

Are those live drum samples? What program did you use to piece the beats together?
And what synth was used to make most of those sounds?

I'd like to talk with you about your music over PM some time

Oh these aren't my beats. These are commercial tunes that I have mixed together with DJing software and turntables.

My music isn't as good as this, but I'd happily answer any questions you might have regarding music production.

Hey jType. Greetings from another music producer/DJ! And nice job on the HD intro, I remember it had a lot of energy

I can't listen right now because Flash crashes my MacBook like woah. I'll check out your mixes tomorrow though.

Hey man. Greetings! What kind of stuff do you make/mix?

Thanks for checking it out (or planning to, at least). I hope you enjoy the mixes.

Hey J, i make pretty much anything! I listen to all genres, so in turn I just incorporate everything into my music production. Ironically I just started a blog to share music on TL a few days prior so you can check out my latest mix which is linked off there.

Just checked out the DnB mix, very smooth mixes man! Almost sounded like one long evolving song.

Oh nice. I will def check out your blog when I get up (I'm just off to sleep now). Look forward to hearing your stuff.

There are a lot of talented people on TeamLiquid; I am constantly surprised at the range of skills we all have.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words about my DnB mix. I think that is, technically, the best of the 25 minute mixes so far. I just find it a lot easier to mix DnB than the other genres/styles I've tackled so far.

Ah thanks guys! Happy that you are enjoying them.

@SwEEt[TearS] - At 14 mins is a long slow-mix between "Teebee - Quiet Moment" and "Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch - Minor Nine", just in case you are interested in checking them out.

@Ravloo: Just checked out the tune in your blog. That's a nice remix man, would be interested in hearing some of your other stuff too.

Hehe! Thanks man.

Well, I can't really offer you expert advice but I can definitely try to answer any questions you might have.

As for more general advice, well, with music production - Once you find a DAW that you like, learn it, get fluent with it. Get to know it inside out. If you can do that, you will be able to get down your ideas a lot faster and end up with better and more focused tracks.

Don't fall in to the trap of thinking that one DAW or Plugin or whatever is 'better' than another, or will make better music. You can make amazing music with any of the free tools available to you. Your only limit is your imagination (of course) and how well you can use those tools.


For dj'ing (I assume that's what you mean when you say "mixing" and not in the sense of performing 'mixdowns' ) - well, it depends on what tools you're gonna be using, I guess. But the main piece of advice I can offer is to learn your tracks inside out, learn everything about them, the drops, breakdowns, etc. Different genres offer different challenges to djs, although the main principles are the same. Some genres will often require longer, smoother mixes, where perfect beat-matching and harmonic compatibility play a bigger role. Some require sharp, fast mixes, where creative use of the crossfader/volume faders/eqs and musical timing/rhythm take on a more dominant role.

Whatever the case, trust your ears to tell you what sounds good, as that confidence will show through in your mixing/production.


Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but if you do want to ask any questions feel free.

Pretty much what jype said. I'm a sound engineer and the mixes, even though not yours, still passed by my ear : D


For mixing, DO NOT mix on headphones, they give a very inaccurate read. You need studio monitors, Krk Rokit's (5, 6, or 8s) work pretty well and are decently cheap. I know a a lot about equipment for production and junk, so if you have any questions. feel free!


p.s Soundcloud freaking rules.

@TheAntZ - thanks a lot for the kind words man! I appreciate it. Hopefully Husky will ask me to do another intro for the next HDH (nudge nudge Husky ).

@Belgo, yea that's some sound advice there regarding not doing mixdowns on headphones, it's generally better to mix even on cheaper speakers than on headphones, because of the inaccuracy.

Of course, there are situations when you absolutely have to use headphones to mix and even then it's always worth trying to test out (several times) your mixes on speakers where possible.

Oh, and yea, Soundcloud does rule! Shame about the free-user limitations though. I guess you can't have everything though eh? I just found out about MixCloud and I'm wondering whether it would make more sense to host my mixes up there.


Anyone have any suggestions/requests regarding my next 25 minute mix? I'm planning a really heavy filthy Dubstep mix, with artists like Excision, Datsik, Broken Note etc. but I'm definitely up for some suggestions otherwise.
