Snare hits on 1 & 3
>>65760214
arpeggio wankery
voice effects
lo-fi samples
vocal harmonization/interplay
drum samples being obliterated
(breakcore, some Kenny Seagal stuff, things like that)
especially if they were used whole earlier in the song
When it cuts from one speaker to the other
>>65760317
God I love this song so much.
Saxophone growling.
Listen to the build-up from 3:30:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rFUVLGqsgts
Piano slides
guitar harmonization in solos, the kinda Iron Maiden style stuff, it just adds a whole new layer of epic
Sloppy, but SUPER TIGHT drumming, think D'angelo or ?uestlove in general
>>65760711

>>65760259
Can you describe what a flashoulette is? Google is coming up empty. Is it the back and forth between fretted notes and harmonics?
>>65760214
Whenever there's a long solo and then it all ties back into the main motif
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrYbfQRlfwQ
The sound of crickets

unironically what I was thinking of
him and Philip Glass
fug, can't think of anything right now
you guys please post examples though
Rapping quickly in triplets
mid fi- not trashed low fi, not super well produced. something like early pavement or a duster album
that shit gets me going
also double tracked guitars panned to each ear
Flute trills to emphasize an already-huge sound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=028KfrPNpPs
Getting loud and crazy, then just dropping back to being quiet very suddenly, like what happens right at 4:57 of this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS5inV-CAP4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U64kHFwKEjU
Don't really care much for the song but something about the sound of the riff at 2:55-3:00 just tickles my fancy. Any other songs that do that sort of sound for longer than just a few seconds?
wind noises
I've used low pass filter white noise so much in my music its unhealthy
>>65760214
Chopped and/or slowed down vocals.
>>65761081
The guitar pattern reminds me of the opening of Mew's Frengers:
https://youtu.be/bMEi0BgssDM?t=25
The tone is like a lot of 90's rock. I can't put my finger on an example, though
>>65760554
I also love Animal Collective

Black and death metal where the vocals are a the forefront in terms of production.
Staccato rapping, especially when someone like DOOM does it out of nowhere like in Pot Holderz

the amen break really turns me on in any song for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwQLk7NcpO4

Dude i'm too high to listen to this, what have you done to me you do not know.
Have this completly unrelated song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLSR7rqjilU
When huge amounts of lo-fi stuff are smashed together with compression so everything blurs together, but pulled off well.
Most of the 60's psych cliches, echo and drawn out vocals. And harpsichord.
>>65761140
Oyeah I see where you're coming from, actually pretty similar.
And yeah, I feel like I've heard it loads of times elsewhere but can't think where
Emo screams. Sometimes that already is enough for me to like something.
Crash cymbal on 2nd beat
Bonus points for Chinese crash
Obsenely boner inducing nigger fuck songs, like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj_A8169wX8
Just get past the horrible voices [ads?titles?] at the very beggining.

>>65760248
Seconded, especially when it's a punk song switching to slow, heavy headbanging shit
>>65761733
I meant like samples and stuff. Especially when you can hear the background radio or tape fuzz being drawn out with the compression and rapidly fluctuating in volume or making crusty, crumpling noises.
Like in these tracks:
https://soundcloud.com/dj-rozwell/need-to-eat-feat-wizardsonly
https://soundcloud.com/dr00pyyy/channel27
blastbeats, snare rolls and hat rolls
I like a lot of metal, jazz and rap
Huge amounts of reverb on snares
Ridiculous amounts of compression in electronic music
Double-bass drum footwork in non-metal songs
Good harsh vocals in black metal

I didn't want to post a thread, but man alive it's really bugging me. I'm looking for this town tempo beat, real sultry like.
I remember the music video, it was a fella with short dark hair, bearded, had a long coat on. The bird (I think she's a French singer?) had on pink nightwear. One of the scenes involved a train set running through which they walked over.
I can't remember any of the lyrics, something about not ready for the b-side. And holding the mic. Innuendo kind of stuff, you know?
Alls I know is that it was at the end of a Quake Live video I watched years back. I've been through dozens on the Youtubes but couldn't find it for love nor money.
Anyone know the artist/song??
Sampling from other songs in the album/songs from previous albums.

That "OVO Sound" uses tons of reversed organs and piano samples reversed. Key on their atmospheric sound (See Noah "40" Shebib's work for more)

Fuck, that's a good song for a Soundcloud rapper, I'll admit. I feel weird because normally I hate everything that comes from Soundcloud. What time signature is that?

The spring reverb fingersnaps on "Rumor Has It" by Adele
Plucked bass as used in Don't Talk by The Beach Bizzles (and most of Pet Sounds in general)
TAPE ECHO
Vintage Radiophonic Workshop style synthesis
Delay self ocsillation
Immaculate vocals
Rhodes playing jazz chords
>>65767192
would femdom you desu
field recordings mixed in with music (i.e Grouper - Ruins), especially storm or water recordings in general
When the beat drops out and its just the voice. I think this is overused in rap a bit, but my favorite example is here at 3:20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE1Zcngd3VA
Harmonics of any kind
A good example here:

Muh nigguh
Also, i dig sorta unexpected arrangements, tape/delay experimentation, when the song relays on ALL the instruments involved and sometimes a noisey af "Guitar solo".

>Fuck off, everyone does solos' like that.
Also, in "House of Cards", Thom does the rhythm guitar, Colin plays almost nothing througout the verse, but he's pretty important on giving dept on the chorus and bridge; Ed plays some pretty minuscule sounds throughout the whole song, like some reverb-springy sound at the beggining and he does an arrangement pretty similar to the bassline on the chorus. Meanwhile on that bridge, Jonny is doing the almost-orchestral sound with the coin and some other struming noises in the middle of the song. And then there's Phil, playing drums.
The song would sound like a shity cover if you take of any of the instruments.
when someone down-pitches or down-samples snares to the point where it sounds like a person sliding along gravel down a cliff.
https://youtu.be/ShWW2UZcAcY?t=1m56s
i just really like it when snare samples lack clarity, especially in break-beat.
in fact, any creative usage of varying pitches for drum samples. for example this song from igorr, i don't know the technical name for this technique but holy shit it sounds good...it's like a percussion group being tortured on the belt of a chinese slave factory:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI-KfY6NI6g
>>65769473
Fuuuuuuuck Igorrr's the GOAT. I found him around the end of last year and he's becoming one of my favorite artists. Have you heard Whourkr? It's a collaborative group of him and another French dude who does grindcore.

second for extensive vamping. modern definition not classical.
Tubular bells. If anyone wants to post some good music made with tubular bells I'd appreciate it. No Mike Oldfield pleez.

early 2000s synth with tasty riffs. The kind you'd hear in early MSI albums. It reminds me of the kind if music my dad made on cubase I'd listen to growing up. A good example would be MSI's prom
