I'm a bit tired of going for the cutoff knob on meh 'noise' patch, and the delayed crashes, and the reverbed samples, and the delayed vocal chops.

What else to do?


Throw me your ideas.

I've hit that wall to. I was even fiddling with a snareroll yesterday. I havent done a snareroll since...2007?

I would say just about any sound can make a good fx/transition - just fuck around with effects and see what you come up with. I've been particularily fond of bitcrushed effects lately myself.

Ohhh that's a good call

I did have a play with that on an older track of mine where I used a mongolian chant throughout too. It got a bit lost in the mix though and I keep meaning to re-visit it.

I'm liking that bussed reverb effect at the mo (someone posted about it a little while ago - it might have been you actually!)

Steve Angello uses it on his masterclass video (fairly good demo of how to do it)

Listen to something different...

Done that, although the track I did it in was one of my very first remixes about 18 months ago and therefore doesn't count as it's shite

Stutter the volume of the entire track, that's one of my favorite effects to use.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNGuYC7OCmw 3:58 is one of the best transitions I've ever heard using stutter effects. Aksesson - Perfect Blue has a pretty good one too near the beginning.

Silence is pretty effective, even if you just let the track fade into nothing for a measure or two with anything that's delayed/reverbed playing until it's quiet, and then bringing everything back in.

I also liked throwing in 2 measure breaks, where you build up to the end of an 8/16 measure phrase and instead of leading into a new phrase, interrupt it with 2 measures of whatever transitions you want before leading back into it. It gives a lot more impact to otherwise boring reverse cymbals or stutters or whatever, I think, and it creates a lot of tension.

Dunno if any of this stuff is standard or would fit with the music you make, but they're things that work well enough for me.

RAMSTERDAM!!!! Tune!!

Stuff like those stutter effects can be done pretty usefully using Effectrix or Glitch

anyways for transitions synths & pads and stuff like that are good to.
