WIPs/unfinished tunes for feedback * no finished tunes *

[tripwire22]

@ obzen - im feelin that loads bro, very meaty sub and lovin all the effects! Do agree about the kick though, maybe take some bass out of it or turn up the pitch on it to bring out the sub more...sick track tho man likin it!

@ tripwire - the further draft is amazing, reminds me kryptic minds honestly no critism at all get the engineers on it lol! What program are you using?


Further edit of 'Through the Portal'...(its clipped and faded)
Soundcloud

FLStudio9 and Blue vst but all the bass in this is modified 808 samples that were stretched and with alot of fx

I've been meaning to try that technique

[thelmbrjck]

@amphibian: very nice atmosphere and drums, love the sub but I felt it peaks a little and takes away from some of the other elements that make up the track. (going off what was in your sig) This might be my speakers though, so I can't really say for sure... over all nice!

@QuantumBeat: I think the intro is sick but past that I kind of get cluttered with the highspeed wobbles. If you attenuated them for a feel that flows better with the track and went about thickening it like amphibian suggested it could sound awesome.

@JLproductions: I love that bass. Heavy.

I could really use some suggestions/critique with this so far.. lots of learning to do still.

[amphibian]

thanks @thelmbrjck. Interesting point about sub, I may have to revisit that. Might be 1-2db a tad too loud. Thanks!

Is there some reverb on that kick? Hearing some kind of reflective bounce at the intro from it... buildup is a bit too loud - in fact it's louder than the drop - that's no good. you want things getting quieter, not the opposite bass gets a bit too repetitive after the first 16 bars, it needs some more variation, and a few extra random stabs/one-shots wouldn't go astray either

[NorCoDubstep]

@Driptide: Loving all the ARPs and stuff. Really cool clip you've got going there. Drums are sounding pretty nice too.

@JLProductions: DEEP! I'm really feeling the glitchy percussion bits in there.
Soundcloud

There's mine. I'm feeling a bit stuck with this one. I can't seem to get the feel of the bass after the drop to fit my intro. I really like me intro though so i don't want to change much in that. Any ideas? Thanks

[amphibian]

3 items of feedback.

[QuantumBeat]

Thanks @thelmbrjck I think that's a good place to start as well. This is an older idea of mine that I'm just re-picking up to re-edit and finish the tune but I think your suggestions are valid. Thanks for the input bro!

[ninthy4]

fuck, going to school in 5 min, ill post some feedback as always when Im at school
I made a dubstep reese bass with 3xOsc yesterday, let me know what you think, a very mellow intro turning into a heavy beat

@ Tripwire

The lead synth is dope and nice arp going.

@ thelmbrjck

This is a good track. Just gotta make it more interesting with the drums and rhythm for me. Sounds like you did this in Reason particularly because I use reason for my drum sequencing. Keep it up mate.

@ NorCoDubstep

I'm a big fan of the synth jabs before the drop. Huge bass on the drop. This track is legit. It'd be good to spin when its all finished.


Soundcloud

Mine isn't mixed or mastered at this point.

[ninthy4]

JLproductions: love the deepness, that bass is sex. Great percussion work and very nice sounds in the background. Let me know when its finished
Danimal: Even though it has that annyoing yoy bass I have to say I love that funky crazy sound. When I think of it it remind me of Afrojack but dubstep. Keep it up!
NorCoDubstep: Great intro and build up. The drop sounds great, some well produced shit Nice Flux Pavilion type of bass and that arp gives a very nice harmony

[Dyssomnia]

@thelmbrjck:
Sounds pretty good to me, I really like the intro!
I'm not really into the bassline, but I think that's more of a personal flavour-matter
The , I don't know what instrument, gives the song some more melody, which it needed.

@NorCoDubstep
When I listened to the intro, I really thought this was going to be some grimey banger.
The intro sounds very very nice!
I don't really dig the drop, because I don't like that kind of dubstep, but it sounds a lot like Flux Pavillion and I know his basslines are very hard to make!

@Ninthy4
Very very smooth ambiance in the intro, it's great!
The percussive elements in the intro seem to fit there perfectly!
One thing, I would give the drop a bit more melody by putting the 'Sonar' sound in it as well.
That way the amazing ambiance continues and it will make it easier for you to build up to a 2nd drop

I'll post one of my WIP's here in a couple of days, when I'm a bit happier with it

[EDN]

Don't you hate it when your post gets buried after like two feedback comments in about 2 days flat... goddamnit.

[ratep]

A little something I was experimenting with.

Soundcloud

[amphibian]

@ratep - 3 feedback comments before posting plz
@edn - a tad too much reverb on that bass/synth thing at the start. Love the beat however, and the instruments used are freakin' awesome. Are you a drummer? the horn that comes in from around 1.11... where is that from? I could definitely do with some samples like that Breakdown is beautiful. Have you sampled the main song/instruments from somewhere?

[NorCoDubstep]

@ninthy4: Super fat sounds man. Really Noisia(ish) sounding after the drop I really like what the old record static brings to the party as well.

@Danimal: I've always been a sucker for old video game noises. I really like the intro. Only thing I would say is switch up the wobbles a bit. I don't mind the yoy wobbles as much as others on here but some other stuff might make it a tad more interesting.

@ratep: cool reggae feel going on. I like all the reverby delayed vocal samples. I'm using headphones right now so I can't really accurately comment on the drop but I'd say that the lead bass sound could have a little more grit. Sounds like there is a lot of sub in there too though so if that's what you're going for than that's cool too.

heres mine. I added some stuff. Made the drop blend in with the intro a bit and added some spacey chords and such.

Glad I could help a little! Regarding the kick, there is no reverb... during the intro I did double the kicks to create a little speed and energy though. And yeaah whoops! I let the volume get wayyyy too out of hand with the drop haha. Thanks for a thorough analysis and some needed suggestion!

@ thelmbrjck

This is a good track. Just gotta make it more interesting with the drums and rhythm for me. Sounds like you did this in Reason particularly because I use reason for my drum sequencing. Keep it up mate.

Thanks! It's all FL and Massive mostly lol.

@Danimal: I really dig the structure and groove of your track, but the bubbling synths and basses add sort of a hollow vibe to it, especially the yoi bass. I think it would sound good fattened up a little bit and with a little more high end definition.

@EDN: Goddamn I dig that, it really reminds me of Atom Heart Mother and other early Pink Floyd. Very well orchestrated.

@NorcCoDubstep :Funky lead synth, adds an awesome vibe to the track. The drop build up seems a little unnatural to the flow... but that drop... ace.

Here be mine

Still working on it.

[oprs]

thelmbrjck- lol i have that same acapella floating around some where, the bass is nice. the lead synth really doesn't stand out to me. the beat could use a little changing up too. add some more fx and incidentals and atmosphere try to build it around everything. at around 1:27 it sounds pretty good, just need to adjust the lead synth a little.

norco- sounds exactly like helicopter beatdown or whatever it is. but if your going for that sound you nailed it. i dig the arp though man, just be careful on how much it pitch bends you can get some weird sounds with it.

edn- such a good vibe off those drums. im a sucker for good drums. damn dude. its so nice. it flows so well. drums gave me a boner and the atmosphere you gave it delivered the final blow.
Demanding a 320. thats right, demanding

Soundcloud
not really sure where im going with this but just trying new things out.

[ratep]

@NorCoDubstep: I was expecting electro house at first but as it started building up I knew I was in for a surprise. and then it dropped, speechless. i love the melodic piano arpeggiator accompanying the bass and that noise that it drops with.

@thelmbrjck: I like the wobbles, it gives me an offbeat feeling sometimes but I like that. I think it would be good to see the vocals from the intro come into play again somewhere with the wobbles. I also think when the synth around 1:46 comes around it overpowers the bass. glad to see those mylo vocals put to use!

@edn: such an epic track, i feel like this can be in a movie! diggin the horns and drums. Are those Addicting drums by any chance?

[infestedpasta]

oprs - cool unique sound, got a bouncy happyish vibe to it.

thelmbrjck - Sounds good, has potential. maybe add more intricate drum pattens.. and maybe some more wobble on the bass.

amphibian - Really like it, has a nice super chill vibe to it. I think maybe you should tweak the bass noise a little, make it a tiny bit more grimeyer, add a sub bass layer also.

Here is my song, everything in it except for the parts where the regular drum samples come in originaly came from my mouth, I cut everything up, added alot of effects and stuff..

Soundcloud

It's just a basic idea, the finished song will probably sound a lot different, got a few different routs I could take with it not sure what I'm gonna do yet.
