Yo peoples!

New Future Garage bit up and forthcoming on 'Dub Force One'!

This one's dark and grimey but still with that hint of melancholy and urban eeriness. This is definitely the kind of Future Garage that should hit home with you Dubstep peoples!

the kick is a little odd for the vibes (maybe it's just me). but beautiful mix man love the progression, the chords, pretty much everything for chilled dub. keep it up!

that's my new piece, give it a listen

I agree about the kick. Sounds a bit weird, which is sad because the tune's pretty sweet.

That vocal sample that starts around 1:13 could be used a little more sparingly. By the time the beat drops in again around 1:40 it's starting to get annoying, for me anyway. Maybe it's sustaining too long, not sure. I'd also try to brighten up those pads, make them a little more interesting. There are some pretty simple tricks to doing this. This is a decent starting point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgruud_R9TE

Hhmm, not sure why you and the other geezer are not feeling the kick, I understand it's slightly different to the conventional (but that's the whole point of art right? ) but it has nice power and pulls through the mix well. Doesn't seem to stick out in a negative way to me!

Glad you're feeling everything else though! Appreciate the listen mate and will be sure to return the favour!

Hhmm, repetitive vocals are part of my particular sound to be fair, sorry if you don't like it. As for the pads, that was intentional, there would be too much going on in the high mids had I have left them bright (I don't really need 'tricks' to making them brighter as I synthesise them myself and have full control over the sound...), sacrifices have to be made in the mix in order for everything to fit together without being uncomfortable to listen to unfortunately... I wish our brains were capable of listening and deciphering multiple sounds in a single particular frequency domain, but unfortunately if you add the same to the same all you're going to get is an amplified version of the same and when you have the same with a whole bunch of harmonic values it just sounds a mess...

Thanks for listening mate Returned some feedback on your track!

Obviously our feedback is there for you to take or leave - don't feel like you have to argue for or explain your artistic choices.

That said, a problem I often have when I'm writing is that it's difficult to be objective about something you've been listening to over and over again. For example, your kick might sound fine to you because it sounds fine - or it might just be that you've grown accustomed to it even though it doesn't really fit the mix. That's why the feedback you get here in the dubs section is so valuable - nobody except you has been listening to your tune over and over again, so we aren't attached to the parts in the way you are.

Clearly you can't merely accept every bit of criticism you get here. But at the same time, you need to be aware that your own judgement is always going to be clouded when it comes to your own tunes. That's not your fault - it happens to all of us. All you can do is try to take your feedback seriously. If a couple of people tell you they don't think your kick suits your mix, maybe try playing around with a few different ones, and ask some of your friends (or ask us) if they think it's a better fit. Even if you ultimately decide to stick with your original choice, it's always a good idea to make sure that it's the right one.

It's always hard to throw away ideas you've spent time working on - but not every idea is a good one. Sometimes you have to step back, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "Andy, I know you've spent hours arranging and EQing those samples - but the reality is, the sound of turtles humping was never going to make your song better."

i just prefer a thud sounding kick i guess, maybe it's a bit loud too? idk, i'm a big fan of your shit, always quality tunes bro

yea i'm all for unconventionality as well if i haven't expressed that enough with my music lol, i'm trying to lean more towards a mainstream feel with my newer mixes as to get more attention

don't feel like you have to argue for or explain your artistic choices.

This is a community I've been involved with for a long time and I respond to the community how I please, it's never been a problem before.

Whoooaaa. Maybe you need to stop telling other producers what they need to do I hate the fact it's come to this, but why do you believe yourself so much more experienced than me?

If a couple of people tell you they don't think your kick suits your mix, maybe try playing around with a few different ones, and ask some of your friends (or ask us) if they think it's a better fit. Even if you ultimately decide to stick with your original choice, it's always a good idea to make sure that it's the right one.

As the track is already set to be released, I hardly feel the need to change anything, especially when I was confident in the sound of it anyway. When a track leaves my studio, it's done... I don't have to change anything, it's my track and it's other peoples decision whether or not they like it. Once a track is together and sounding right to me, that's a completed conceptual piece of art with characteristics of its own; the feedback I'm given I taken into account for future tracks.

It's always hard to throw away ideas you've spent time working on - but not every idea is a good one. Sometimes you have to step back, take a deep breath and tell yourself, "Andy, I know you've spent hours arranging and EQing those samples - but the reality is, the sound of turtles humping was never going to make your song better."

Accounted and a good point, but that is a lesson I learnt a long time ago, I am not going to comply to what other people think sounds good when I think something sounds good myself and doesn't need changing, that's what music as an art form is all about.

Soz mate, I'll just leave you to it then eh? Good luck in your future endeavours
