19/11/2024 - New Album Release; 6 Pack Remixes Vi

More six-pack remixes of some of the other tracks that are from some of my Jungle/Drum and Bass, UK Funky, UK Garage, House, Experimental, Gaming and Synthy vibes tracks. I went with what I had already using the original file as a template and changing bits and pieces along the way adding new sounds and patterns. I got the drum loops and the synthy stuff including the bassess from Splice.com and the loops I had already which I bought from Loopmasters a long time ago but they always come in handy to quickly get the show on the road. For the vocals, I used samples from Splice.com and as you know by now if you follow along with the reading it is my go-to place to get samples for the tracks I make including basses, vocals, drum patterns including breaks for those Jungle/Drum and Bass tracks, synthy stuff like keyboard sounds and synthesizer sounds, one-shots of all the range and so much more. I am impressed with Splice as they have the sounds to elevate your music to the next level and I’ve been using them for a while now and still, they churn out those grooves that hit the spot. As my other Seagate hard drive is broken I had to use my newer tracks but when I get back onto my other computer my laptop I will be digging up some much older tracks but ah there isn’t nothing wrong with remixing newer tracks but I do like to spread them out like legs lol. I have a special folder of tracks I made but never got released so I might be digging into that folder to find some good ones to bring to life and remix them as well who knows I feel like making some music now but I have a lot of stuff to do and a backlog for my websites but I think I’m nearly done. The first track Monkey See Monkey Do – Remix is off my And Along Came Alice EP that I released not so long ago. It is a chilled but vibey number and is good for just chilling or doing whatever you are doing. I like the synthy sound over the sine bass and the dramatic strings that serve as the chorus which is my favourite bit on the track. I changed the sounds and the patterns making something new but I did keep some elements in there to make it sound the same but different from the last one the original track. The next track Chyld Please – Remix is off my Shake Something EP which is also out now and available on all major music platforms. The track is danceable and one to dance to and turn up just a little. I like the bass and I like the vocals too which  I used heavily on both the original and this one the remix. I like the end which I like to switch it up a little and bring in more stuff and changing rhythms to something you can shock out to. The next track Nay Sayers – Remix is a slight variation to House and has breaks on the track which I added for something a bit different and it went together so I thought what the hell why not? It is off the And Along Came Alice EP that ‘s been out for around two weeks now. You can easily use this to get fit or step to and reminds me of being on the dancefloor or in the gym not that I ever go to the gym but I was a gymnast so I was always near the gym or near aerobics lessons. I like the ending when there is a different bass and there is a slight variation of the persistent pattern that plays out along the track. The next track  Blew Horn – Remix is off my One Man Band Album. It was an experimental album I made around a year ago or under a year ago so I decided to add one track from my experimental album which I’m glad I did as I like the results of this track and think it’s more summer vibes when the weather is hot and sticky or on a cold icy day when it’s just snowed in the morning kind of feel to it. I found the trumpet sample on my free sample and sounds go to website Pixabay.com which I cut down to size and added filters and other things cutting down the file into different variations and sounds to make the track and it’s one of my favourites on the album and I like the filter trumpets I layered which took a lot of work but I used the same file as the original track so it was half done for me as I picked up where I left off.  The next track Shake It In Rotations – Remix is off my Shake Something EP and is my overall favourite on the album as I like the change half way through and the club feel to it. The track is a variation to the first track the original track which I added a synthy sound and changed the bass and other sounds also making slight variations in the patterns. I went manic at the end bringing it to a close and it gets busy with lots of vocals, synths and pressure. It is a dancing track and one to turn up a little bit and dance until you are done I hear club vibes so this could be played in a club or at a rave event or even mixed into a mix and I mix a lot of my tracks so trust me they are good to go. The last track Manic Dramatics – Remix is off my Like A Cow In The Night EP that was a Jungle/Drum and Bass EP I made a few years ago now. This is another one for the club/rave and something to turn up a little and dance if you feel inclined. I used the same bass well bass 1 but I changed the other bass and pattern for a new track but again made it sound the same but completely different from the original track.I would say like this whole EP it would also make good background noise for your parties or me time too.

VOCALIZER VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

 I’m back with another free VST plugin for Windows and Mac and this one is a Vocoder of 93 Vocoder sounds. I used Arturia’s Vocoder which I went through them and chose the best ones and I also recorded some phrases and words which were random but there is a special section for the space theme which I got the phrases online and made up as I go along. It’s not just me on the mic my friend and I wrote down some words and phrases and recorded them on my phone as I record all my stuff on my phone using a free app that does the job then I used the Vocoder to make the sounds and Romplur to put it altogether. If you have the Arturia Collection and you have the Vocoder you can actually add your own samples over the presets to come up with different sounds and there was quite a lot to choose from so I was in heaven whilst making the sounds.  I made the GUI using Gimp a free open-source software which I use quite a lot and I don’t go a day without using the software and seem to get some good results out of it with the right faffing about. The plugin covers the genres Jungle/Drum and Bass, House, Electronic and Synthwave those are the genres I made the demos with but you are free to try other genres or overlay them with your own vocals it’s all up to you. Each Vocoder sound is labelled and ready to use in your DAW and I’ve tested the Windows version but I haven’t got a Mac so I’m not sure if it will work for Mac but you can always download it and give it a go.

Bandcamp News – New EP Release; Drum And Bass Remixes

25/10/2024 - New EP; Drum And Bass Remixes

 I haven’t made many Jungle Drum and Bass vocal remixes so I thought I’d make some and give it away as a free download as there are copyright issues with all the tracks. I got the breaks and the other stuff from my favourite place to find samples Splice.com and the vocal stuff I got from various places but you best believe they are bootlegged lol. I also used the Reggae Sample pack for the basses and the synthy stuff which I found on Loopmasters. The basses and the synthy stuff are one shots which I made my own patterns with using my go-to DAW FL Studio.I didn’t care for the breaks too tough as I like my breaks frantic and I couldn’t be bothered to rummage around looking for the right samples so I used the one put in front of me but they are okay I suppose. I started with Living Dead (Dead Meat Drum and Bass Remix) as I heard a drum and bass version in my head so I thought I’d try and make something from the samples I had already and start something new. The EP would have been another Halloween EP, but I thought I had released enough Halloween content for this year, so I did the first track and dugged deep for the other remaining tracks. I will be making more soon and I think I’m going to make this a running thing of Jungle/Drum and Bass remixes of other people’s songs. I might even start making Jungle/Drum and Bass mixes if I have enough I know I have a few released stuff that can be found on my Spotify page and all major music platforms of your choice. The first track Living Dead (Dead Meat Drum and Bass Remix)  is from the 1968 film Night Of The Living Dead which I sampled a few times now. I used a lot of delay and rearranged it slightly for difference and two basses which can be heard near the end of the track. I like the end of this track and I think it goes well with the beat but isn’t my favourite on the EP although I do like it quite a lot I could have done with more variation but it’s alright and is one for the bar or outlet places. The second track Diggin’ On You (G.N.L. Remix) is from TLC’s Diggin’ On You and I actually had half of the sample when I was making samples for a later date so I thought I’d download the other half with something in mind and finish the track. I like this one and is one of my favourites on the EP as I like the bass and synthy stuff over the vocals which I downloaded from an acapella site and I don’t even know if it’s legal. I think it’s very sitting-in-a-bar music or something you would hear near a bar on a beach and is also radio-friendly which you can’t beat a good old radio-friendly track. The next track Mary Jane (G.N.L. Remix) is from Rick James’s Mary Jane song which again I downloaded from an acapella website. I would say this isn’t a favourite of mine on the EP as I think it’s a bit plain but never or less it’s still a good song just to have on in the background with whatever you are doing but it could be for dancing but I think this one is for chilling. I do like the ending which I think it gets interesting and is where it gets busy for a second before bringing it down several notches. The last track Wake Me Somebody (When It’s Over) (Drum And Bass G.N.L. Remix) is from Four Top’s track Shake Me Wake Me (When It’s Over) and is another favourite on the EP as I like the bass and the delay on the vocal which blends the track nicely. I already made a House version with the same song so I thought I do a times two and make a Drum and Bass track using the same track which I think turned out quite well. Again I like the end which I think is danceable and something to rave to or blast in the car or in your home but not too loud lol.
