I posted this song about a week ago here:
Since then, randomuser made the above version. It's badass and deserved it's own post. I really enjoy this version as it embodies what I dig most about these Hubski collaborations, the song is completely different than it would have been in my own hands. There's NO WAY I would have brought the same sensibilities to it. Great work!

I do too. I think we need a re-remix with a real singer. randomuser, you know any good female vocalists? For some reason I hear a female vocal. I think it's a solid tune though and perhaps deserves to be done right.
The absolute biggest shame about the fact I am surrounded by so many amazing music people is the fact that I am the least musically talented person ever. Autotune won't even tune me.
Not true, I autotuned the second guy on that track with Jeff and I had to pull him both ways about a half step to get him in tune.
Dude. Please, please record insomn singing this. That would be epic.
I wish she would sing/talk on anything I work on lol.
I hear you. My wife is actually a good singer and I can't get her to sing on anything. Also, when she does I have to admit she's a bit of a diva :)
I was actually talking about a friend of mine yesterday looking for a female singer to go on a track of an artist I am working with right now, and we have come to the conclusion that there are just too many girls out there singing that sound the same, and it isn't good lol. It's been pretty hard recently to come up with a really solid female front in my experience. I would love a female vocalists for a bunch of my own stuff too so if any turn up I would also be interested.
Wow... randomuser this is fantastic. I hope it goes on the album. Both versions!
Downloaded and added to my hubski exclusive playlist along with kb's 'Loose Ends' edit. randomuser kicks serious production/remix ass.
This should definitely be on the best of 2015 list. randomuser insomniasexx
randomuser, what did you use to make this? And how the fuck did you get that good at it? Seriously though I'm trying to produce and it's really hard trying to figure out just how to learn. Like there's a bunch of YouTube videos on random specific subjects but that's kind of all I can find right now.
It's a combo of Ableton and protools. If you want what I used on any individual instrument lines let me know which. How you produce really depends on what DAW you are working in and what virtual instrument you have I work with as far a midi programming. I have a huge sample library of drums and wave hits/loops from different genres if you're interested I can send a bunch to you I you want. You're going to have to specify a little bit because there is too much to upload in one sitting lol, but if you want things like snare hits, disco guitar riffs, breakbeat percussion, etc. let me know. If you want composition or form advice, I would say find a couple of your favorite songs of the style(s) you're trying to make and copy the form of the track, bar for bar. There are also a bunch of YouTube tutorials for synth building. Even I you don't have the same vst a the tutorial, as long a you have similar oscillator/filter setup on your vst, you can probably get something similar.
I figured you might answer something like that. Here's the thing: I have no interest in constructing new sounds. Synths kind of confuse me and kind of bore me. So I've been trying to go with entirely sample-based production (with the occasional 808 or whatever). Is that totally unreasonable? Does my dislike of aural engineering mean producing just isn't for me?
Check out pretty lights, his stuff is pretty much 100% sample based and a lot of it is awesome. Form is kind of important to know, even If you choose to break it. As I said I have a massive sample library if you would like anything in particular, I may be able to help.
