Drum and Bass + Discochiptunecore

Postby Bronytech » 18 Dec 2011 11:11

Made two songs over the week. Didn't spend too long, just about half a night on each.

Winter Wrapup ( Dnb Mix)


Cupcakes! (8Bit Discocake)

I really liked the Cupcakes remix, it had a nice flow. I can't say the same with the Winter Wrap Up,
its a good track, but the vocals at 1:47 didn't fit too well in my opinion. Then again I don't do much D&B and I don't know what feeling you were trying to create so I can't really say.

I think the only acepella I've used so far that perfectly lines up to a standard progression 4/4 techno beat is Becoming Popular. Which is why I figure it's so common to remix. Stuff like winter Wrapup is kind of annoying as you have a verse at the beginning which lines up nicely at 95 BPM (95x2 = 190bpm = Drum and Bass), and then the rest of the song is weird timing changes/breaks in the verse. And then you got other tracks, like cupcakes where the words in the verse don't line up exactly to the grid, and you have to shuffle individual words around to get it in time. I would use ableton, but eh lazy... Which is why a lot of my tracks just have a section that repeats over and over, or sometimes the timing sounds weird.

I personally like the Winter Wrap-up remix (I am a drum & bass fan myself). I would ditch the breakdown with the spoken lines as I like having the vocals looped as you have and i think including the full vocals there (which many people are kind of sick of-after we all know the song) is overkill. Having a break from vocals there would be great instead of injecting more. I think that small edit would really improve it (if you want)

Cupcakes mix is different and overall pretty good. Would be cool to hear a more electro disco version of this as you almost had it here but occasionally backed away from that. Still its nice what you have.

I think chopping the vocals as you have is a REALLY good idea and one that people should pursue as it uses them but doesn't make it just a standard show remix and gives it a bit of character. Good job overall. :)

Yeah, suppose I'll be taking out that part; seems a few ponies don't like it. After all it doesn't line up whatsoever, since when you loop your song a bunch you just kind of get used to the weirdness. ( But of course, then ponies are probably going to complain that it repeats too much. ) Not that it really matters.

Like I said, I am not the best person when it comes to giving advice on D&B.

The winter wrap up sounds like a spacey D&B mix. and im not just saying that cause of the pic. :P lol

that pinkie one is GREAT!! but the only think i have against both of them is the repetitive vocals. but they dont sound bad. i dont know how i would do better myself. :P
