here is a short list of production tricks that annoy me.
1. Filtered Vox
2. Panning for no reason.
3. panning synced to a boring LFO
4. comb filtered drum breaks
5. rhodes in a dnb song
6. trance gate
7. reverse cymbol build up
8. switching time sigs for no reason.
thats all i got at 11:31pm.. im gonna go eat some dinner ..
i'll post more tommorow at 2pm PST after my 24hr ban is lifted. | |

I ALWAYS do n. 3:
3. panning synced to a boring LFO
I'm too lazy to automate panning, and my songs are already completly full of automations.
This is my only sin, sorry JDG!

I hate it when people will take a sound and then reverse back through it to make said sound last longer ;)
actually, my biggest pet peeve regarding sound these days is how bright most software pianos are...most would sound good if it wasn't for that.

making everything sound close to the front of the mix (depth vs. punch)
over-compression
over-panning

I think this post has been more inspiring to me than something to talk about. Tonight I shall pointlessly and intensely pan acoustic drum samples.

my biggest peeve is over-hawtness / compression (only because I have a problem with this myself, so I hate it when other people do this)
oh and loud cymbalish sounds that hurt the delicate flowers that I call ears

i love panning. panning is powerful.
listen to autistici's songs.. he has mastered the pan.
i love hard panned 4-track work around pans.
see, those pans have reason.
but there is no reason to pan a lead, synced to an LFO that just goes LEFT - RIGHT -LEFT RIGHT... NO REASONSSS.
filtered vox tho.
thats my lest fav. EVER.. why do it? oh, the singer cant sing.

hate:
1. thinking " how did they make that sound?" followed by "why did they make that sound?"
2. hearing a cool sample in a cool tune and then hearing the original and realising that the cool tune isn't really cool, just some PD iddy electronix
3. baad maths.
love:
1. the bit where i think i know what the groove is going to be, but i am totally wrong
2. vladislav delay
3. a really good melody
4. basslines that don't seem to have any pitch at all
5. gooood maths
