new tune on my soundcloud! nice and funky!

[marshy]

Just listened to Kid Kudro - Another one : thats a DARK tune! maybe a bit more underlying sub bass to give it some extra low humm would be good


Nice tracks everyone keep em comin!

I got a new one that I started, see what you lot think - I know the transformer thing has been done, but that type of sound is ace.

I dont know what to do with the intro, and I know it needs some variations but Im a bit stuck

I might write some epic movie-style strings soundscape for the top but dunno how it will fit

Feedback would be nice on this one to give me some more ideas for it, Cheers, C.Jay

Nice! Check the myspace for my 'transformer' track. For the intro i worked in a different pattern which i ended up using for the bridge, brings it all in quite nicely and it makes sense when it rolls around again. Keeps it nice and robotic too.

Right guys, i posted this like 4 or 5 days ago.

I STILL can't work in an intro for the life of me. Any ideas?

Not sure if it sounds completed or not, some nice subs in there.

Let me know what y'all think!

[crackf]

hi all, had a go at doing up jocelyn pooks hell fire and damnation, thought the original was pretty cool, but maybe a nice old drop in there would sound a littl emore coooooler

perhaps the vocals are a little unorganized with the beat, lemme know if yall think its worth continuing or i should just quit right here?

Thats pretty cool man, just as it cuts off you should just let it run into a vocal only breakdown and have some reverb from the previous part as ambience. Whacking on a massive thumping tune after that would be sweet, something proper nasty.

Nice vocal in that track Crackf, IMO towards the end, the part pulling the drums away from the vocal the most are the kicks though.



ANOTHER new track. If someone could PLEASE give me feedback on my two soundcloud tracks that would be great, I don't get many opportunitys for input so if anyones got any tips/praises/criticisms/suggestions regarding my two starter tracks it would be awesome! I haven't been producing for long so I'm not too confident about what works and what doesnt.

this is alright man, should try getting a litlle offbeat with the hats maybe? their pretty repetetive in the background but i do like the drum pattern in all
i like youve used the odd sounds and stuff too rather then just drums
get an intro in on that n turn it into a drop aswell!

n i see you got the fruity loops voice samples goin on

That's a good foundation for a tune, it's got a nice and dark atmosphere to it. Here's a couple of things I think you could improve on: the snare sounds a little bit weak in some places. Try layering a few different snares together to get a bigger sound. That metallic high frequency sounding thing at 0.30ish seconds in needs a little bit of work on it, it needs a little refinement.

Otherwise good start and keep going - practice makes perfect

Thanks. Yea probably would be a good idea, maybe every other bar skip a hat beat and add another one to shuffle it up. Haha, the reason I used the fruityloops vocal was because I couldn't for the life of me find a decent horror movie quote vocal and the only vocal samples I can find seem to be rasta's -_-

I'll keep working on it, I also noticed that the 3rd loop of the bell chord clashes with the clap pretty bad so I've fixed that now.

@Wrig
Yea the snares can be quite weak, I don't think I'll layer them up throughout the track but you're right, I definitely need to emphasise them a bit more in some places. All I've done to the metallic thing is doused in in reeverb and added pingpong panning, I'll get on that and sort it out.

Cheers for the feedback both of you!

for horror movie quotes, try download a youtube video of a scene or something, of fl you can edit it on edison, cut it up change the sounds n whatever (Y)

Easy,

I've been working on this today. What do you guys think I should do with the drums? Any other suggestions?


Thanks!

I think the simple drums work well with it. The bass is nice aswell, I can imagine that being able to go into a really slick drop + wobble to be honest, probably end up with something similar to Stenchman - Number One.

Oh, and the laughter in it is immense! MUST TEACH ME.

For the kid's laugh, Freesound is your friend. Sign up's free, the search and preview tools are good... Anything from wierd stabs to 7 min ambiences, it's an amazing resource.

I've been reading the forum production bible, trying to keep levels down, the mix right etc.. Sparce drums are fine but these sound a bit weak.. Is there any zip of definitive, classic dub percussion? Even just to test, I'd like to try swapping out these samples. Or could they do with a bit of EQ, maybe?

My third attempt on dubstep, so I'm new on this. I dunno what to do with the wobble, and I know it's messed up. Maybe it should be a bit smoother?

[JustDefy]

Hey everyone my names Chris, and i am really new to making dubstep/ using reason, just wanted to say hi to everyone,
and to also ask your opinion of the track i am currently working on, as more than one ear is always useful.


PS: Its NOWHERE near finished, just wanting some early critique before it gets to muddy so to speak.

Pretty nice, IMO though, the string that starts at 1minute really doesn't go very well with the wobble, and the drop could do with either being bigger or smoothing the transition a bit more.

Sounds like the bass needs to be jacked up a bit volume wise, and that metallic sounding thing in the drumloop could do with being shuffled up a bit. It's pretty repetetive, try putting one or two offbeats in every other bar?
