My first attempt at music production. It's not much and was made wearing Sony MDR-V700 DJ headphones. Would love some feedback as a starting point by which to learn from.

Thanks.

Just finished this off but not sure about the levels. Working in Logic. Any ideas to get a bit more kick out of it? I've compressed it to shiste already.

that is sick, and it kicks quite nicely, but if you want it to bounce more bring the beat up

at deadnoisesystem,
i like the melody but the bass is too distorted and not enough variated.
what kind of filters do you use?

thanks mate, ive been varying the bassline more in the latest version, the wobble is quite harsh? or the sub?
the filters on this tune are part of the vst, subboombass by rob papen. my new favourite vst

maybe you should "Split your bassline into 3 parts with eq'ing/filtering a sub bass/ mid bass / high bass combo. Limit/compress your sub bass, add chrous/bass exciters/bit crush/ distort/ overdrive/ phase/ formant or vocoder your mids/ highs....compress them, and resample them and do the whole thing all over again. Add effects a little bit at a time (preferably through return sends etc) so that you dont muddy up your bass" (quoting corpu5).

and what if he wants just a simple but deep and beautiful sinewave sub... just pure bass shaking you up.

leave it out with bitcrushing and all that. just add a squarewave to it if you want to make it slightly dirtyer or laptop-speaker-compatible

i wonder too, what effect does the compressor actally ahve on the sub? i'm more and more trying too keep the compressor away from my tunes. sounds everything too.... ''pushed'' (aggressive?) with the compressor.
maybe the ableton compressor just sounds that hard

the ableton compressor is very agressive, for drums i like the roughrider comp plug in, nice vintage sounds, yeah with the sub i was looking for a cleaner sine type tone, but it was 4 in the morning and i was on headphones when i rendered that version, and as for bitcrushing, thats stricly for hi hats in my world
seriously, much love to the both of you for the feedback

This is just an experiment with a particular style of dubstep im instrested in at the moment, it started off pretty shit but i spent about 3 yrs today just trying to work out how the fuck people get such god dam clean mixer, anyway i just went on everything cutting frequences everywhere using spectrums on everychannel and on main mix so i could always see whats going on.
personal this mixdown is an achievement for me
hows it sounding :$

Yeah man, I'm constantly obsessing over my stuff sounding "professional", and getting everything sounding nice and clean. I'd deff. say it's a step up from being, say, a "novice"
A melody would top it off quite nice, but that's just personal taste, etc..
My stuff is hardly amazing, but yep; I'd be proud if this was mine, haha.

yer man totaly been using 32* band eqs loads today on every channel cutting the right parts, got rid of that cloudyness i always have in my tunes
yer melody definately needed, think ineto will give it more rythm because it'll let the listener know the rythm and stuff but ye nice one

Just roughly laid out, minimal EQ and no panning...
Feedback?
Just properly started putting a bit of effort into my tracks and finding I'm getting a bit lost

it actually sounds pretty good, man! however, ur drums kinda get lost in there... can't hear the kick that well... u could use some more percussion to liven up the song, even if it's some sort of sweep or a ride or something along those lines, to emphasize the tempo of the song. the bass is nice, u got some crazy sounds going, this could be really good! don't give up! i'd like to hear a finished version some time soon
yes, using spectrums on every channel is good, a lot of ppl do that. it's nice to know where everything sits in the mix

omg that's a dooooooooooope idea!
here's what u could do... as ur about to drop the synth, stop the piano and put 4 bars of buildup. us some sort of sweep or get a synth to glide upwards... then drop the BIG synth with the drums, but layer them with more snares and eq them (don't just use one snare sample, use 2-3, until u have a nice snare going). then, after playing the synth melody for a bit, re-introduce the piano on top of the synth.
this could be nice and dirty with a couple more hours of work!
cheers!

dub ninjas... i took a step back from trying to produce dubstep.. and ventured deep into the jungle... I found my roots, and i'm lookin to the past to help drive me into the future..

I'm bringing jungle back
