Tuna - The Legend Continues

haha belarusian blogs :slightly_smiling:
to be fair they helped alot to get heard but i agree its not even close to the future garage we used to make

but yeah on the other hand we never sended stuff to anyone so i dunno how to approach it. will have to consider it i guess though to get “further”
(we have contact to one guy though from usa will see if he might make an ep with some of the tunes or not def bigger audience there)

i dunno what i done @faultier i was trying to groove like, tried and it came out all wonky. snare was reaaly basic yeah. only the bassline was a synth, the rest of it is samples, some buddhist stuff haha

yeah @BudSpencertron send me some stuff too, tryna make a mix of just ninja stuff. Faultier, still waiting for that zip!

its pretty spotless pro sounding tunes this week all round (myself excluded - but yeah its an instrumental for a rap track that i recovered from an hd so its not really that workable anymore - need to record vocals,…and fill it up with addlibs that takes some room with fx and so on. . )

anyway

jizz

great. just one of your best bits imo. more of this. great melody.

bud
hmmm - i really like it. its proppa robo fuck music lol. only thing is its a little bit too ‘bright’ or clean for me - id prefer less hi-s and maybe a bit more reverb but thats just taste - its perfectly executed what you have made here, i think. really pro sounding - good on a system stuff.

and defaultier

thats just super nice and well executed
i like the bit where the vocal is rolled out but i can see a pov of not wanting to just use a vocal as it is without a lot of editing - like giving too much attention to an acapella or feeling like its ‘cheating’ to do that more than this… .
(if im right in assuming its an accapella from another context at all?)
if that makes sense?

lol yeah

mine is ridiculously muffled tho

:frowning:

faultier does mean lazy animal after all

@Jizz
i dig the sample? the beat is imo maybe too wonky? and stops too soon haha but i am bad with this style so i could be really of. hm i personally dont like the snare maybe its too bright for the style i like those percs that pan though maybe a sound like this as the main snare clap?
but the rest is nice i like beat later more too

@hubb
yeah its very quiet which isnt bad so you can raise if needed easily hm. i dig the hi hats here add alot
808 nice too. maybe switch up the loop every now and than the piano one. with rap i might think dif would have to hear it with rap too. very unique sound like idm trap but not the commercial one like actually idm trap. this part at 2.17 is nice just 808 and melody.
maybe take the 808 away abit so it hits harder when it comes back now its just there. kinda even hypnotic haha maybe some vocals like that repeating patterns could work you know what i mean like doesnt even have to be super thoughtful rap

@faultier
lol another instrumental :slightly_smiling:
hm i dig how you introduce the beat dig the vocals here very clean
you make the instrumentals with intention to have sb rap over them or just for the fun of making them?
i bet with the right mc over them you could add sth extra to some of your instrumentals

1 BigUp

tbh its just that with these quick instrumentals i almost start and finish them in one go, instead of getting bogged down in finetuning details until i’m sick of the track and never finish it -_-

ok, boys, got a tuna from Jizzmandem and i’ll have my obligatory 64 bars of laziness ready by the end of the day, send yours in

@cyclopian @Samuel_L_Damnson @hubb @BudSpencertron

im going back to school like a chump tuesday so im probably out for a bit - but down to judge you guys intensely

@Jizz very interesting sound design and progression, really digging the understated vibes towards the end

i feel the pulsating drone in the first part is a bit too loud compared to other elements though, or maybe you could EQ or play with the stereo space so the other elements cut through the mix more
also maybe that intro could use some incidentals or something, or be shorter… then again i like how it builds tension tho, maybe just layer something in there
wouldnt change much in the second part, maybe bring it up so its on par volume wise woth the louder first part

@BudSpencertron nice one. mixdown sounds a bit gritty on my headphones tho.
also i would say while its a good tune production value-wise, i feel that compared to the other grime bits you posted over the last tunas it lacks that special personal touch… like it sounds more generic and less Budspencertron-y
then again maybe if you just add a synth

@knobgoblin ha found myself zoning out to this, feeling that synth that creeps in around the 6:00 mark, somehow makes me think of a dubbier version of starkey’s planet mu stuff

is this another reaktor jam? i should really give it a try

reworked it abit maybe i make a hybrid of those two but yeah i agree was bit bland haha quick session

That goes!

thanks man!
i feel the mix is bit quiet now but maybe its better that way

and everybody who posts in tuna has to enter the tuna :relaxed:

yeah @BudSpencertron this one works for me a lot better! The mix is a lot more powerful now when those low end elements can really punch through and be dramatic

@Jizz I really dig this. Beautiful sound and composition. I like the dichotomy between the loud droning first half and the more pointillistic second half. Very nice.

@faultier Im really into VeryUnsanitary. It sounds like a project I’ve been trying to get off the ground with another producer friend with the conceptual framework of Delta Dub. Wanting to combing delta blues with electronic music.

My track this week is pure groove box jamming with the machinedrum, monomachine and analog4, live take no edits. I love Planet Mu stuff of a certain era

Is that a serious rule? I dunno if I got time lol, how does it work?

lol was just joking
but it would be cool its not a strict thing anymore if you have sth you can enter
basically whatever you worked on over a week you can enter with can be 30 secs or an old tune whatever really

old tune you worked on that week i mean

Fair. yeah, if I do work on anything I’ll come through.

sounds good and no judgement here either whatever you made its fine
