JWM - Splat (Glitchy Lofi DnB Track)

Here's some 160 bpm goodness for you all to feast your ears upon. My first time diving into Drum & Bass believe it or not. Instead of heavier DnB with "Dubstep" Neuro basses and shit, I went a more simplistic route inspired by Dedf1sh music from the Splatoon series.

Not gonna lie, I tried to use various plugins to try and achieve the glitch effects I wanted, and I couldn't get the sound anywhere near what I imagined in my head. So instead of plugins, I froze the tracks to audio and edited the glitches by hand. 😂 That got me pretty close to what I heard in my head.

So to avoid redundancy in this thread, my process is explained in greater detail here. https://forum.loopypro.com/discussion/comment/1395898/#Comment_1395898

Tagging @FizzyLizzy27 so they can hear the final result of this project. Hope you enjoy this, mate. :) Cheers.

Jim

    Bump.

    Edit: Still waiting for comments.

    My first thought is that it could fit in the Severance TV show with the unusual happy/quirky piano theme, cool track!

    I feel you ahahah, I also did this too many times.

    Good.

    You should make more drum and bass.

    You are getting close to the Splatoon tracks that were posted on that other thread! The glitch by hand must take a lot of work… I’m wondering if control of the volume on an AUM track with an LFO (i.e. rapid on/off events) might save you the extra hand work. Just activate and de-activate the LFO.

    Of course, Drambo or Mozaic can be helpful here to program the right behavior for the CC stream to drive an AUM channel.

    @Etienne While I definitely try to stay away from TV shows (takes away from music production, and it still doesn't get much better than "Breaking Bad" imho, lol), I heard "Severance" is a good one. ❤️ Thanks mate. Glad you dug the piano theme.

    And yes, sometimes it's tough to realise what's in my head by using a plugin alone, and so it requires me to get into the nitty gritty editing instead. 😂 I don't mind that though, because a plugin often has a limited preset way of glitching audio. With audio editing, only your imagination is the limit.

    @sigma79 That's definitely the plan, mate. Was stuck in a bit of a music creation funk, but only because I was tired of producing genres I'm already good at. This is literally my first Drum & Bass track.l if you can believe it, so it gave me the challenge to try new-to-me things. I think it's serviceable for a first try at any rate. 😅

    @McD Glad to hear that I'm close to the Splatoon tracks. Then again, whenever I try to shoot for a sound or vibe, it somehow still becomes my own rather than a direct carbon copy. 😂 Which is good though. Took me years to develop a sonic signature.

    Glitch editing by hand took less time than me trying to faff about playing with glitch plugins like Effectrix. 😂 I got more satisfaction out of editing by hand than if I would've used a plugin to automate the glitching. Before BT had plugins to do glitching for him, he did all that stutter editing shit by hand. 🫢 Afaik, "Somnambulist" has the most microedits in a track to date.

    But now that you mention trying Drambo to do edits and such, I may give that a shot and experiment. (Then again I may become frustrated and return to editing audio on a timeline. 😂 )

    I suspect a Mozaic script to automate the on/off volume “glitches” would just be a few lines of code and hundreds of lines
    after the users ask for additional features. I’ll leave that path to the real programmer’s and maybe share the easy one
    in this thread if you don’t mind.

  • factionfaction

    Nice work, your glitch “programming” worked well…👍

  • PxlhgPxlhg

    Well done!

    Great track, Jim!

    @McD My music threads are all about learning and helping each other. I certainly don't mind if it helps me and the rest of our small community on the web. ☺️

    @faction Thank you so much, my friend. :) You certainly have made a great impact here with the short time you were here so far. Can't wait to hear what you'll create in the future.

    @Pxlhg @Pierre118 Thank you so much, my friends. That means a lot to me. :)

    Or, what if? I combined Drum & Bass with Reggaeton? 😂 If you stop to think about it, DnB is roughly twice the speed of Reggaeton, so the two genres can marry together in an unholy union of cacophony! 🧑‍🔬
