I have found my salvation, well pretty much anyway

http://ragga-jungle.com/

has the best forum posts regarding production that ive found so far, loads of producers i knowand love all post on there with production tips for slicing amens, the methods they each use to process them, synthesis tips for basslines (thats experiment 2 sorted :) ) even to posting sample packs that they've either put together themselves or that they've found during there time producing

Lovely jubbley so many different threads to go through in the production section thats the next couple of days full up then

New edit of the track ive been working on for my Final Year Project

It still needs an outro and ive been trying to find a cool vocal sample from like an old horror movie or something

Ready 4 Danger - Phatworld

Crazy tune, love the use of the Elton John sample, Need to investigate sampling..

Soundmurderer & SK-1 - Badman

Although I think the "badman" sample is spammed a bit too much, the third drop on this tune is crazy.  I believes hes put a flanger on it, and then he pitch shifts the beat up and down a certain amount over a bar which combined together sounds really creative and quite unique

Been offline for ages, doing something about it

Aint nah sunshine by Humb

I personally really like the sound of the breaks combined with the vocal sample, think they gel really well.

The blud blud blud blud clot clot clot clot bit is also a really interesting section, because the style is nicely different yet in keeping with the rest of the tune.

Humb is an amazing producer, few of his tunes on vinyl all of them are ridicoulously smooth, sounds all EQ'd and processed to perfection

just messaged him asking if hes got any tips for producers, methods he uses for example order in which he applies processing, does he place drums on audio tracks or put them in a sampler? does he start by finding a sample then working off the sample or would he start with something else

a taste of whats to come

back in business this year my project will be based on breakcore and the different methods used to compose, sequence and produce it.   Venetian Snares is a good introduction to breakcore and this track is one of my favourites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mckssHD-8Dc

Tried contacting a few breakcore artists finding out what they produce on, any specific techniques they use, as well as the order in which they produce tracks. So far only one has replied to me but ive got my fingers crossed

Any audio i make throughout this project will be uploaded to here : https://soundcloud.com/elliothoughton

Breakcore does go a lot more hectic though enduser sickboy etc. being some of the nuttier examples, but thats for another post another time

Long while coming...

Well its been way too long for me to have not put anything up on here so here is a clip of the track im working on for my IS module
