The Wub Awards

The Wub Awards

Postby Pewter Robot » 19 Dec 2012 15:45

I know wubs are very important in the community, so I'm starting the very first Wub Awards! These aren't like regular awards, because we'll all have our own selections for each of the categories. Just post whichever track has the best wubs with the attributes defined in the category title.

Rules:
Please don't embed videos. These take up a lot of space and make the page look cluttered. I'd also advise against embedding Soundcloud tracks for the same reason, and also because when we're listening to the track, we'd have to stay on this page until it's done. Just posting a link should be good enough, if anything.

You may select the same wubs in more than one category, or different wubs from the same track (in which case you should specify which ones you're selecting, if it isn't too obvious).

You obviously do not have to select a wub for each category; feel free to leave some blank if you want.

We may end up having a vote for which wubs win each category if we end up deciding to. This is open to discussion and we'd have to settle on a deadline.

Your selections don't have to be wubs. They can be any bass or wub-like synths.

You may select more than one wub or bass sound, as long as they are from the same track.

The categories are as follows:
1. Dirtiest wubs
2. Heaviest wubs
3. Darkest wubs
4. Deepest wubs
5. Coolest wubs
6. Most atmospheric/beautiful wubs
7. Sickest/most shocking wubs
8. Weirdest wubs
(Composition awards:)
9. Catchiest progression
10. Sickest sequencing
11. Best intro/transition sections

Here are my selections:
1. Spor - Pacifica (Chasing Shadows Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rYiIiFIjRM
2. The Widdler - Froggy Style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khuBZpOxF8U
3. The Widdler - The Nothing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1HapQIZW5E
4. Tunnidge & Cyrus - Lights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1KhEowJ6lE
5. Killbot - Sound Surgery (the weird one that comes in at 53 seconds) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cZEyUfDI7g
6. Rollz - Plugged In (Bassnectar Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkAYBIc3Zs0
7. Labrinth - Earthquake (ft. Tinie Tempah) (Noisia Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIO27E5EubU
8. Feed Me - Grand Theft Ecstasy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvRt-NEuV28
9. Feed Me - Pink Lady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n01UOw5uEhw
10. Numbernin9, Torqux & Twist - Sentient http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFekX4Uddfo
11. Xilent - Choose Me II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2O7xiGp2x8

Dude... They're called wobbles. Even that isn't entirely correct, really, but it's more correct than wubs. Dubstep bass, wobble bass, oscillating bass, whatever. They're not wubs.

Because that's definitely the main point of this thread. Nobody got all butthurt on the Rate My Wubs thread. Just shut up and post cool bass synths.

I don't understand the point of this thread, really.

Why wubs? Why not best synth design, what it's actually called, and not this dumb 'brostep' thing? 'Sickest sequencing', as in, best composition? Half those 'wubs' ie bass sounds... all exactly the same thing...

I don't get it at all.

Let's keep the flaming down and keep things light-hearted.

The scope of this topic is very narrow, that's probably why you're not getting any responses. I'm assuming the tone of this topic is for humor.

Alright man, calm down. So something you made didn't go as planned, big deal.

Better to calm down now before you get banned, just sayin' >_>
