Caustic Song file (optional):
Ok had to create this as doing this over e-mail is confusing and sharing of files is much easier on this site.
Version 10 is up, Im getting a reggae vibe from this track as it progresses so I added a Karymba on the upbeat in the chorus. I also added some variation to the beat and other machines as patterns A9. Also added was some parallel processing in the last 3 slots.
Xenoplas, you're up

Sorry, took me a bit long but now it's your turn again Josh.
What's new:
- muted last three slots (I always wait with mixing till the rest is finished - you can turn it on again as you please of course ^^)
- exchanged piano with more bold piano
- exchanged marymba with steel drum
- added Saw and Lead
- added 'Hook'/'Refrain' - whatever you might call that. the reason it took that long was probably that I shuffled the lead melody by hand (this needs a little rework btw)
- deleted trumpet from intro
- changed/deleted/added several patterns of already existing machines
Your turn Josh.

Sorry it took a bit long. Made a few changes and added the second drop and outro. Your turn, mekanism.

I'm on it! Should have something by tomorrow.
I didn't do a whole lot... just added a pattern to the sawsynth in the intro for some low end grit and added a delay to the brass machine as it sounded a bit harsh to me.

got a test tomorrow so I'll probably take till tomorrow evening but I'll get right to it :)
btw that adventure time track you reposted on soundcloud yesterday Josh suddenly appeared in my head while I was sitting in school today (I hadn't seen you posting that yet that time) - funny coincidence especially considering the age of that track^^

That track suddenly appeared in my head too so I searched for it. I remember when I was first listening to dubstep. That was the track that got me into it.

Exactly what I did haha :D this wasn't the track that got me into dubstep though. but I don't even really remember for sure what track it really was for me...

just realised I also have to write a book review till tomorrow and I'm not even finished with the book so don't expect anything today please... I already changed a few very small things though just so you know I didn't do anything ;)

Take your time. I might sound like your parents but school comes first XD

no you're absolutely right! I'll leave it to you guys for now again without any major changes because I really have a lot right now and I don't want you to wait any longer. I only made a few changes, automated a few more things and worked on the sound a little. that's all this time. I think we're at a point now were we won't be making any big changes in the overall structure cause it's pretty good just the way it is btw! well here's the new file.

Since star wars is approaching,added a Darth vader sample and a Noisia style outro (you know ,the wonky beats at the end of most Noisia tracks). I guess the track is finished besides mastering,which I am terrible at.

Cool, I will check it out maybe later after football. I can master it if you guys want, well I can attempt to at least.
so what about we finish this round and then master it? because maybe I still have something to add - i don't know yet :D I'm not bad at mastering either but I don't mind leaving this to you meka. we could wait for rejs new app for this btw ;) if you can wait that long of course!

That would take weeks....O.o aint nobody got time for that
Check out mah soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/josh-oelal
Yeah after listening to it I think it needs some more work. There are parts that sound a bit cheesy to me. I'm not sure I like some the of the notes and arrangement used on the brass track and we need some better transitions and breaks. There is no hurry in getting this done. Just remember, most pro producers spend weeks just on the mixing phase of a track to dial it in. I'm also thinking of changing the last beat box to pcmsynth, load the same vocal sample in there, but also do some re-sampling to make some cool effects sounds.
Sure, do whatever you want. It's no use being in a hurry if the end result isn't satisfying.

yeah a pcm would be nice since a pcm does allow a lot more samples ;) to be honest I'm not too sure about those samples especially that scream or what it is the way they are now - it doesn't seem to fit the song at least in my opinion :( sorry if I'm being rude there! I edited it a little just for fun and it went out a little more to my liking but it would be completely different that way and no idea whether it would be to your liking that way. If you really like it though then of course I'll say no more ;) well anyway I'll wait for my turn before I do anything!

The whole point of a collab is for everyone to be happy with the final result.

that's true and you can change it back all the way you want after me after all too ;)

@xenoplas watched it so I wouldn't get bothered by spoilers

Hello, it's me again! You've probably been waiting for ages. I've been with my family the last few days so I was completely busy these days... So sorry it took that long!
I edited the sample I was talking about and added am R2D2 sample. I thought of making something like a short funny conversation between luke and r2d2 at the beginning cause r2d2 really fits the song and luke is the one the darth vader sample is said to. I coupdn't find any fitting samples there so I'll have to watch the movies again for this and record some samples. I feel a bit bad I haven't done that already but I really had no time so sorry again! I have it im my mind already though how it'll be like. Apart from that I changed some beatbox parts especiaply of that outro.part. It felt a little too hard to me so I gave them a little more of a groove ;) I also changed another few things but it's already been way too long so I don't really remember what anymore.

Oh and I'll change the part after '...you'll need...' of the darth vader sample if I'm allowed to :D since we got that nice extra part as outro I think we should have something there that suprises the listener or makes him laugh. I'll also do that over the next days while you can go on working on it thewhile
