As far as I know, the % of men liking dark electronic music and metal is waaaay higher than the % of women who are into that stuff. Which is logical since dark electronic music and metal neither have the qualities that are required to become 'popular' among women. The main themes of these genres are still KILLL KILLL KILLL DESTROY DESTROY!! which isn't really a common way of thinking for women isn't it? It's rather a manly thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. I might learn something new today

Here is another electronic example: [media="] [/media] Here is a manly non-electronic piece of music being performed by a metal band: [media="]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMvWQwOdYe8[/media] If you find more examples, please post them.

Yeah, but the question is, would you rather find many women (compared to men) at these darkpsy/darkdnb raves? So far these tracks being posted both sound very great and I'm really a picky MF what concerns music, so thank you. And to be honest, I don't think masculine music equals dark music at all. But I generally find myself very attracted to "masculine" music and it's not because it's just labeled masculine, it's something with the sound and mood that attracts me. Just makes me feel so alive.

Like tracks that scare all the girls away from the place yet keep the most of the men dancing/moshing... Macho music, the sort of music where all the girls go like "jeezz, what's that horrible noise? Turn that off!!" yet all the guys are brocking out to it. Can be non-electronic music too (or even psytrance). Examples: [media="] [/media] [media="] [/media]

That Mescalinum United track indeed is a killer! [media="] [/media] [media="] [/media]

First one is surprisingly great!

If you listened to the radio 5 years ago, you might have stumbled upon this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQxjbofGO-o

Tbh there is a lack of dark dubstep nowadays, a couple of gems here and there, gah wish they still made tracks like Vex'd - Thunder, that track is like 6 years old now isn't it, but it still sounds more modern than most stuff being released now, dunno maybe it's just me, can't really tell but lately, dnb & dubstep =>

b2b lol

Is that Breivik in the pic?

Nice sounds!

What about Goa?

Got to be the first Laurent Garnier track in the world that I actually tend to LIKE a bit! Surprise surprise! Never saw that coming personally.

If you'd ask my opinion I'd say, the first thing to do is to make sure you've got a decent audio reference, decent monitors I mean or decent headphones, second I should tell you about the EQ stuff or just the plugins in general. If you process a tune, you'll always have to make sure that your adjustment actually IS a step forward. You can check this by bypassing (switching the on/off button to you know on and off) and see if it makes your audio sound better or not. Second, if you use a plugin, you'll always have to make sure you use all parameters of it in all it's positions, just fiddle around until you find the perfect setting. If you found it and you're sure it makes your audio sound better then leave it. Same for EQ, you'll just have to fiddle around browsing all frequency areas using a slight boost or cut and try to find the perfect setting. You can either do this horizontally by using a slight boost or cut and sweeping through all frequencies ranging from 20hz to 20khz, to find the perfect spot. Or you can do it vertically by picking a random frequency spot and sliding up and down till you found the perfect spot. If you found it just release your mouse button and remember it's important to boost AND cut. This goes for all the other plugins/instruments too, find the perfect setting and make sure you're 100% correct about the fact it makes your audio sound better before actually saving the changes. Then, the final thing you have to do is the rendering, you save the file of your whole track either as a wav or HQ mp3. Then play it using Winamp (if you have it, if you don't, download it), check the spectrum analyzer (or visualisation plugin or whatever that shows the peaks of the total frequency spectrum of your track) and check the frequency spectrum itself. Are there any obvious peaks or gaps in the frequency spectrum that you keep finding on every song you've made that show up like that no matter how you processed it? And do you notice a difference in the frequencies when you compare them with music that other people have recorded? If yes, then your audio reference (ie your monitors or headphones) is not a trustable reference and you should invest in better or try to change it in a way that it becomes better. Also small changes in processing audio are way more efficient than big changes since they're more precise and less abrupt, you should always work in small steps. Having trustable gear is always the main thing you need to check before you make or release music. Ah, feel quite drunk at this moment...

I personally do the mastering myself, but then again I tend not to release any tune or join a label, I still see myself being a noob, but I got quite good replies from people that heard my stuff.

Either FL Studio, Cubase or Ableton, I think they're good DAWs for anything really, Logic for Mac is also very good.

Thx man, yeah it's got everything, from psy to dubstep to acid to dnb. There ARE some seriously shameful flaws in the mix, but unlike most amateur mixes, this one has got amazing soundquality and yeah, I only do my mixes the multigenre way, it's alot more interesting like that. Glad you like it.

She looks like a slightly hotter version of Shannyn Sossamon.

I was thinking about making these lists aswell somewhere but judging from the first post in this thread it looks like I already did. Gantz Graf isn't techno BTW, it's idm
