does it seem like its missing something? i think people in dance music and dnb specifically have the full frequency spectrum mixdown down to a tee, to the point i listen to a lot of the rock i used to enjoy like shai hulud and the like.. and im like "goddamn this needs more bass, that snare doesnt hit hard enough, too much tops".. etc. i dont know maybe im just weird.
sort of. altho a lot of stuff i was into years ago, and some of which i still am, was recorded on the most busted broke ass equipment that i can't really expect too much of the audio quality.
as far as major label releases where the artists were probably in some two grand a day studio... nah not so much.
Nope, I don't have that problem at all. I mean, if a punk album is produced to sound like dnb, then to me it sounds totally wrong, ya know?

yea i feel you .. i used to love the horrible audio quality of a lot of older early 80s cheaply recorded punk etc. just becasue that grit and basically shitty sound was part of the music but i actually think has dnb spoiled my ears hahahaOriginally Posted by BrianArsenault
yea that old punk is exactly what i had in mind. minor threat, dead kennedys, black flag, etc...
it wasn't about the engineering cuz they had the heart mannnnnn.... :wink:
yea i hear you 100%, you cant really compare but in my case i listen to entirely too much dnb, and kind of set the standard for other kinds of music on that for some reason. weird becasue when i first got into dance music i really didnt do that at all? i still love all the old punk+hardcore i used to listen all the time it just feels a bit ..... empty :not agaaain:
plus when things *are* over produced, they end up losing some character thats attributed to anything analog or ghetto..which is why particularly in dnb, theres a tendency for producers to be attracted to that analog sound alongside their highly tuned digital production. that was a mouthful, but i think you get what im saying...
fuckin hippy.

to add: i listen to other music to escape dnb. so i don't expect it to have super clean production.

yeah I kinda no what you mean. other stuff just doesn't sound as "full" when you're ears become used to dnb i guess.
yea i dont "expect" it to be as full frequency wise as dnb, i guess something in the back of my mind is just a bit disappointed becasue its not lol .. i think listening to less dnb might be the solution
That's the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard.

Oh my god... hahaha.
hahaha .. all i listen to nowadays is dnb+dub, its bad, you dont understand
Other kinds of music also value certain sounds differently. Obviously you're not going to hear the same type of bass and snare in a Beatles song as you are in dnb, but to say that they didn't have amazing production would be completely false. Or, listen to the drums in most well produced metal songs (For example, Battery by Metallica, which I'm listening to right now), those generally have a lot more low/mid than drums in dnb.
