What sort of sick bass is this?

[marra]

the sidechaining yes. it sounds horrible. creative use or not, sidechaining ruined music.

Who are you to talk like that?

obviously someone with better taste and appreciation of the fine arts of music, then you.

Some would say recording, or electricity ruined music

Wow, now we all should feel like idiots!

i have nothing against electronic music at all. i do have a problem with this sudden urge of having no dynamics left in music whatsoever.

I feel like compression is a more appropriate culprit for this rather then sidechaining.. - loudness war type of thing.

By sidechaining you mean the untz untz untz untz ducking type of thing? I get where your coming from, but look at what Big Gigantic or Alex B does with sidechain compression, on beats that aren't just 4/4 kicks - if anything that adds more dynamic to the sound especially when it's some kind of groove on the kick that is ducking down the pad sounds or what have you..

or maybe we're talking about different things..

Either way, this is not really a place to decide how other artists should paint

ah yes, most people tends to use sidechaining really horribly though, this song is a great example of that.

i guess we should move the discussion out to the music forum then, but eh, whatever
sorry for hijacking.

You say that, but the stuff in your signature sounds like some bullshit (and it's not even your own), so who are you to diss one of LA's finest beatmakers.

What's up with this jealousy????

its my label, and some of it my own indeed.
it might sound like bullshit, but the production isnt bullshit. i might not do music you like, but thats besides the point. im discussing produciton here, and how modern electronica destroyed it. overcompressed everything and sidechaining everything, squashing every single dynamic left in the peice into a big fat brickwall of shit.

In Prog magazine the band 19 A.D.D. offered a free album download. The music is fantastic but the dynamic range for most of the heavy parts is about -8 db RMS. On top of the fact the download is 128K MP3, this is a pity, and as bad as the commercial release of Death Magnetic.

The sad thing is that the band's stuff would be much more interesting musically with just a little better dynamics. Would it have killed them not to turn the L2 up to 10?

Their stuff is interesting and creative enough that I'm going to buy their CD anyway. Maybe it will sound better. But the CD (and vinyl) of Death Magnetic both sounded shite; until I finally was able to get the guitar hero remix.
