Experienced producers, what would features you want your dream "breakcore" plugin to have?

I've been making tunes for well over a decade now but recently pivoted more towards coding and DSP related stuff as I've gone back to uni. I'll be honest as well, I have been kinda burnt out doing music and the whole scene for a bit, but still enjoy the genre massively. I also like making weird ass things in MATLAB (which i'll release at somepoint). Anyway, to not make my brain stale after I've graduated i'm planning to make my own plugins, mostly for funsies (and a portfolio I guess).

Whilst the obvious thing here is something to do with manipulating breakbeats (which I have to give a massive shoutout to the amigo sampler), I'd wanna see more specific ideas of what _exactly_ you think is either missing, or just a pain in the ass to process in a DAW.

Obviously, I'm still learning DSP stuff, don't expect anything amazing. The idea in my head i'm half planning is something like Dr.Octo Rex in Reason, but way more up to date DSP and capability wise specifically for weirdos who make this genre.

So, whatcha have in mind? I also plan to charge less than fuck-all for my stuff, and if you have an idea I use here i'll give you everything of mine for free forever. This may start in like 2027 though lmao.

Also for the record: I'd love to hear more from experienced producers' (like 5+ years of experience) than people who've just started. Mostly because I'd want to know the exact technical specifics of what you want and also quite simply, they know more about advanced mixing/sound-design/DAW environments that just comes with doing this for a long time.

Though If you're not *that* experienced but you feel you got a banging idea, post anyway! I love to see new people in the scene that understand the culture and wanna further it, but know this isn't me trying to be exclusionary, more so I wanna make something great for everyone.

Or you can shitpost ideas, up to you. Penalty if you do is to post one of your own tunes.

go go go

I'm starting to livestream Ableton production. I've been going really deep on breakcore recently. This is a production explanation behind an off the grid track where I auto generated a melody and used ai

a little tip for you guys

im personally bored of chopping up breaks. so I came up with another way(that includes chopping lol) so you can make it more unique. you can take a break set it to tempo then you can fx play an bunch of breaks on top of each other, add a break and play it on top of itself but time stretched to half the speed n so on. I just wanted to tell you that. bye!

Suggestions on drum programming? / general comments

This is my 2nd song so don't be too mean I beg, I'm going for an old venetian snares-ish style !! I am trying to find my own style but i'm starting with what I know :D

I'm not sure what to do with the first half / intro of the song, and I know i'll add maybe a minute or two more afterward

dubstep + breakcore. breakstep??

i had this idea of combining breakcore with dubstep. like taking dubstep synths, and the breakcore sampling and drums and putting it together. would this sounds good. is it even possible. does this already exist?

What is this sample?

I'm looking for a sample that i often hear in usedcvnt's songs. It sounds like a human voice, i don't know how to describe it in any other way. You can hear it in the song i linked below.

Tips for improving at breakcore

I am curious if anyone has any advice for improving at producing this genre. I enjoy producing it quite alot and I have some tracks I am happy with but im struggling a little when it comes to conceptualizing what I want my breakcore tracks to sound like and alot of them end up sounding boring and kind of generic. These songs are okay but not really reaching a level of quality I am looking for. I digress.

What helped you improve on your production journey?

Is there anything you would have told the old you who was just starting out?

Where do you go for inspiration?

Are you using reference tracks?

Any advice is appreciated, even if its just, "Keep trying"

Thanks

My first “break” song! How can I improve it?

As the title says it’s my first song (made in about an hour or two) I personally don’t like it but not sure where to go from here. So I hope I can learn from you guys!
