Nice Wavestate is super cool also - sampling stuff into the MPC. Yea mixing can be tough on hardware like that. Level balancing and panning with a bit of EQ are always the most important. Do your drums first soloed and get them to a good level where you have some headroom left on the main output mixer. Then bring up everything else against the drums. Basically use the drums as the mix anchor for the other elements. :) 😊🌴
Loved the track and the video. I just got a Polyend Tracker Mini + Arturia Microfreak and this is a huge inspiration for me. Thanks brother! Subscribed
Thanks dude! Appreicate the sub - glad you enjoyed the tune :) Polyend track mini + microfreak is a great combo. I love FM synthesis + breaks and drums on the Tracker with all the FX and your rolling. 🚀✌️
@@grooviningfor me XO is great for quickly sketching out drum loops and selecting sounds. Usually I make the first loop in XO and then drag the MIDI to daw and continue in piano roll.
I hope your hand feels better soon G! I can tell how distraught you are. Halfway through the vid now…you def blessed us with some greatness! Have a great weekend man!
'unreal tournament background, Facing worlds map, detailed, Space, Planets, Tower Map, 90's style video game' but i'm also using the style reference to another image i base a lot of my prompts around. 😊🌴
@@groovining hehe, i think i was looking for that name of that reference you are talking about :> somewhat mobiusesque but not quite mobius. either way, thank you for your music
Haha now that my friend I can't give. I seriously use it for all my work. What you can do is use /describe and take a screenshot of any image - it will give you something close :) docs.midjourney.com/docs/describe-1
the end product never breathes or relaxes and the pads are a bit overused. youre playing it too safe with the breaks. And it doesnt really sound like 90s jungle, it sounds like "im making 90s jungle in 2020´s based on what ive seen on youtube" sorry to hate but Im tired of all these hurdur 90s jungle videos. It triggers me the same way as when people call it EDM or think electro means the same as electronic music
Well I guess the 3 other people liking this comment means there is some truth to it. For me, I would say I've made tonnes of lower quality demo tracks for projects that I wasn't as happy with but people didn't mind. I actually think I got pretty close to the sound quality & vibe of the Foregone Destruction & the unreal tornument OST which was the objective of the vid. Feedback is always welcome but some people just love to gatekeep. Especially with genres like old school Jungle. Like their specific interpretation of 90's jungle is the only one allowed. Why don't you got make some 'proper 90's jungle' for all of us, film and edit it, then put it out on TH-cam and see how well it does.
@@groovining it's not personal per se, im more tired of the this new "jungle from XYZ game/console in 2024" trend and every one of them creates the same liquid type jungle as if they are following a set list. There's so much variation in jungle and they all fail to capture it. This is what annoys me. I don't need to create anything nor am I claiming to be able to. The music of the 90s is already out there.
@@MageAtYou Come on man, I grew up on Jungle but why can't you let people enjoy things? Like he is experimenting and learning and I really like the vibe of the tune alone.
@@AysahSpades for reasons mentioned, I know its not personal but as general it feels disingenuous since this style has "blown up" a bit and it gets watered down because everyone is doing the same thing in the same style. The critique just happened to be here.
I've covered Source Direct, Photek, Paradox, Shogun, LTJ Bukem as well as making tonnes of my own stuff on here. I'm not claiming to be the best jungle producer or anything but I've certainly covered lots of the different types of jungle on this channel. Everyone is mad on atmopsheric & video game jungle atm so I get why your venting on here but this is only 1 vid I've made.
This song is the reason I bought an mpc and got into music production. Discovered your channel via TH-cam and now it's all come full circle!
Cheers Ledge! Yea Foregone Destruction is so dope :) How's the production going? Which MPC you got? 😊🌴
@groovining mpc one+ and a korg wavestate for doing the pads. still learning. my biggest challenge is mixing on the MPC but its so fun

That flute flourish is really n i c e
Yea I like me flute too 😊🌴
Good job! Funny how I started also a project trying to achieve this nostalgic feeling 😊
Ah interesting! Yea its a fun theme to work with - How did you get on yourself? :)
@@groovining Still work in progress :D But its coming along! Got some pretty nice drums with XO, some acid from d16 Phoscyon.
I love D16 plugins. XO is something i've been meaning to test out for ages also. I have Atlas which is similar but never use even though its dope.

Aww yiss! Been looking forward to this!
@@_mickmccarthy cheers ledge. I haven’t even had time to get back to your last comment! 😊🙏
@@groovining It's all good! I'm mainly dropping comments to appease the algorithm gods 😄as well as to commend the great music of course!
