I’m back - It’s been a long time. I brought Reason 8 when I finished my degree to get back to production. I’m still making that deep music, but not 140bpm for this particular track.
I think the future bass genre, if that’s what it’s called, is taking over post-dubstep.
this is nice man, like how the synth elements float in and out, then the piano bits nice and the different synth at the end too. nice layers, good drums too
Basically, get an acapella, slice it (your DAW probably has a function for this), then load it into a sampler (like the Dr. Rex in Reason for example)
Now each slice of the sample should have it’s own key on your keyboard. Now you can just button bash and play rhythms over the top of your loop until you stumble on somthing that sounds cool.
