Afrojack Parody

Afrodroid - I HATE AFROJACK by Seandroid

I'm making a parody of an Afrojack track, I made this in like 15 minutes, but what I want to do is put this up on YouTube on a fake account and see how many hits I can get with a track that I made in maybe an hour tops.

So I just have a question, am I doing it right?

Did you sidechain the lead to the kick? It sounds like you might have, but I'm not sure. If you didn't then do that. If you already did, set the threshold lower or do some shit to the ratio to make it a little more pumping.

otherwise sounds just like afrojack

Why would you waste your time like this?

Nice cheesy percs, nice fat kick. Nice cheesy synth. Love the compression and envelope on the higher octave synth.

This is slightly better than the horrible over saturation of crappy dutch house that's out there, which is incredibly ironic.

You must be one funny mother ******.

Edit: This isn't that bad, I can tell you are going for what you wrote, but I gotta say this is much more tolerable than the shit dutch house puts out, AND you were approaching it satirically. I think you should seriously consider continuing with the satire, and finish this track. It would be a KILLER 3 AM track. Trust me on this one. Good work.

Sorry I'm drunk, but I fucking love this track.

sorry but this track is kinda hot one of the coolest songs i've heard on here in a long time super poppy and groovy you're doing something right. you have full control over that main synth and it sounds excellent.

Why are u so easily impressed with a few samples, a release knob and portamento?

TS is right, if you know your sample libraries you know how shitty this music is. SD, not sure what point you want to bring over on YT though? i mean telling the world that oyu do this in 1 hour is kind of not resonating

Doing a video, dragging the samples makes more impact i think.

Don't know what you're talking about or what point you're trying to make. Sorry.

I suppose if you dig Dirty Dutch you'd like this, haha. Thanks

The point isn't really to show people how easily I made this, I just really want to have the personal satisfaction of being able to fool a bunch of people into thinking I made something by a famous producer when I really made it in an hour.

PS: I didn't just sample Afrojack tracks, I programmed the synths from scratch and played them out on my midi controller and it still took me like 15 minutes. The lead synth is basically a square wave with a detuned saw and a short stereo spread on it and some reverb, the bassline is a sine bass with a detuned saw an octave higher on it with the cutoff about halfway open.

no it's clear that you programmed your synths, was talking about the drum parts

WATCH YOSELF SEAN RAPHIE BE CALLIN YO ASS OUT

SHITS BOUT TO GET REAL

Why are you going out of your way to shame somebody who relies on their reputation to earn a living?

Who gives a shit if his music is not to your liking - even if it does seem undeserved.

Go and do something more productive with your time and stop being so immature.

Take a joke! It's supposed to be humorous and it's not exactly consuming that much of my time, lol. Yeesh. Lighten up.

As I said, I'm doing this basically just to see if I can make something that will fool people into thinking it's an Afrojack track. How is it tarnishing their reputation of I'm creating what sounds like a "good" Afrojack track?

I think you at least need that annoying dancehall-esque tribal drum on the 4th and 7th semiquavers (1/16th notes) every 2 beats:

| - - - * | - - * - | - - - * | - - * - |

etc

* hit
- rest
| beat divider


That should help to make it sound like a shit Sean Paul remix

A joke to you yes - just think twice before you post anything on Youtube.
