The Future of Barely Alive on Patreon

Hello Keyboard Killers, Basement Dwellers, Zombie Hunters and Arsonists!

We feel incredibly lucky to have built such a great community of like minded producer nerds here on our Patreon. We love how Patreon allows creators to harness the power of crowdfunding to inspire us to step outside our box of "dubstep producers" and make all kinds of fun content and interact with our friends.

Mastering Tutorial (finally)

Hey everyone,

We have been getting questions about mastering for ages, and we never made a video on it because its not something we think about a lot when we're making music. However, we wanted to make this video just to explain our thought process behind the 3 devices that you will see on the master channel in just about every single project we've ever made!

Hope you enjoy this and...

Barely Alive - You Suck [PROJECT FILE]

This month's project file is a 110 throwback track we made called "You Suck"! We loved the 2011-2013 era of Reptile-esque moombahcore and had a lot of fun making this track. Enjoy!

12-23hardeststyleeverv5.mp3 [EXCLUSIVE RELEASE]

Here's a favorite unfinished idea of ours from the archives. We started this project in December 2014 with the intention of making the heavy song with a 4/4 kick possible - thus the name "hardest style ever". It got left on the back burner for a few years, until we opened it back up in 2016 and made this version. Love it or hate it, we think this is still one of the hardest hardstyle drops out ...

OB-Xa factory presets for Vital

The OB-Xa is a legendary beastly poly synth from 1980 that offered two oscillators, a great sounding filter and up to 8 voices of polyphony. This synth was used on "Jump" by Van Halen which became the "Stairway To Heaven" of synth riffs. 

Now you can have 31 of the factory sounds from this synth in your DAW via Vital! There are a TON of string patches and some really nice brass sound...

Break Em Down [PROJECT FILE]

we asked in the discord what projects people wanna see and this was one of the suggestions. be sure to let us know if there's a project you want for next month!!

DX7 ROMS for FM8 [bonus content]

Hey guys!
Just found out you can import DX7 sysex banks into FM8. However, it will reject any preset with a "." in the title. This is unacceptable because the best DX7 presets are E. PIANO 1 and E. BASS 1. So I formatted all the preset names in the sysex banks for ROMS 1-4 and converted them to FM8 patches, and now you can have them!

FM8 Presets include:

ROM1A

ROM1B

Skrillex Ruffneck Kamoze Dub thing remake pack [EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD]

We used to love remaking unreleased skrillex tracks from scratch so that we could play them without having to rip anything from youtube. this old version of Ruffneck that sampled World A Music by Ini Kamoze was a favorite of ours, and we ended up making 5 versions in 2014, plus a trap edit from 2020. now you can have all of them yourself!!

Roland JX-3P for Vital [32 PRESETS]

Introduced in 1983, the JX-Programmable-Preset-Polyphonic analog synth from Roland was a big hit. Released alongside the Jupiter-6, both synths had a second oscillator which set them apart from the Juno. The JX-3P featured a button-only front panel and the classic chorus, whereas the Jupiter retained the knob and faders but had no built in effects.

These are some of our favorite patches t...

Roland Juno 106 Factory sounds for Serum

Ever wanted a Juno 106 in your studio? well now you can have one! This Serum Preset pack contains 24 sounds from the original Juno 106 memory banks, meticulously modeled to mimic the original analog synth.

Cyber Bully VIP(s)

Hey gang! This month's exclusive release is a little bonus, with 2 different versions of Cyber Bully. Back in 2015 we gave Cyber Bully a little production update so that it would sound better in our live sets. Internet Streets EP had some really overcompressed mixdowns, and we soon learned that more dynamics in the mix sounded better on a big system. 

We made another VIP of Cyber Bul...
