Anne Droid: I really like this track, it's so weird and unusual but that's what i love :P I think the drums could use a little work as they sound kinda low quality to me but if you was going for that gritty feel then you've got it! Other than that i don't have any real critisism, good work!

Mad_Ice: I was abit unsure about this at first but i really like the bass sounds you used, they're so trippy and really add to the minimal effect, sounds good so far!

Skyhigh: I bloody love those drums! And that oldschool arp sound is sounding so clean. The bass really compliments the drums too so props on getting them to gel as good as they do! Next step would be to get a sub pumping underneath and it will be bangin' Very nice tune though.

Darj: Very chilled out track you got here mate, loving that sub too. I think you could make that kick cut through abit more but other than that i'm liking it.

@Jacob15728 funky groove man im digging it in my honest opinion it'd be better with a nice hard drop to vary it a little. seems repetitive.
@Anne Droid deep track man i got some dark vibes from it very sci fi haha nice work.
@RandoRando huge track man lol sound moves throughout my speakers i love the feel of this
Sorry i cant give more detailed feedback guys this is my 7th week producing and still trying to learn the ropes. I finally finished the intro to this track it took me forever and i think its a little extensive that i should be at 1:52 i start to introduce the drop im gonna post 2 halves of this song so you could could give me any suggestions on how to improve or glue this together? thanks.

Well with this song I was more going for interesting modulation but not overly filthy. My next song will probably have a heavier drop. Listening to yours now.

2 minute intro? Are you crazy? (no offense or anything :lol:) but the standard intro length is 0:55 or less. 0:55 might even be pushing it, because your average brostep fan has an attention span of around 30 seconds. I have friends that will switch to a different song or fast forward if it doesn't drop within about 30 seconds. Anyway, it sounds pretty good. The melodies are solid and I like that you didn't just repeat the same thing over and over again. Your snare sounds kind of weird, and some of the transitions are a bit awkward. Maybe listen to lots of intros and see how they do their transitions to get it sounding a bit smoother.

The drop section needs a lot of work on the mixdown. I can barely hear the snare and it's really loud, and clips alot. Your synth work is spot on though, good job with that!

thanks for the info man my toughest part in making this song was the intro i guess i got so caught up in it that i over did it lmao im aware of my akward transitions too but again im a noob im getting better and better but i do need the critisism. am i the only one that gets tired of my music so quick? literally i've worked on this song for a week or a week and half im disgusted by it already i wanna move onto something else. i dont feel like my tunes are filthy enough i wanna throw down club bangers lol i dont care how many antibrostep activists are in the building but whatever type of music that is, thats what i love

Feedback posted on your respective SoundClouds.

I revisited the synthesis and mixdown on this one. Looking for severe crits here. 8)

@JLProductions LOL Trance step, I like it man! very nice
@BevOh Man... thats intense lol keep working at it man!
@filtersnake....dude... thats such a strong buildup hahaha SUPER SMOOTH AND FUCKING AWESOME DROP HAHAHA
@RandoRando My moustache curled at the ends from your bass :D hahaha
@AnneDroid I really enjoyed the melodic glitchy bass :D great job!
@Jacob151728 All I would say is to equalize your kicks smoother with your bass so you hear it just a tad stronger than the bass itself so it has that kick!
@Sub Lox Very nice quality man so spacious!
@Eroticore Stench....Dude my brain just got raped
@acrap duuuude keep going with that, I really like the buildup man drop it really HARD and CLEAN at the drop .

I haven't posted here in sooo long guys lemme know what you think of my newest track :)

donpablo- I like it man, this is nice. get an mc or rapper over it though, this track is screaming out for one! mixdowns bang on, top notch job. superb rhythmically as well, got some real bounce to it. Another one of those tunes that makes me feel terrible about my own stuff :')

wizard- turn the beep down at the intro, ever so slightly painful on the ears. midrange is fucking huge. like jesus christ thats huge huge. all i could say is make more space for your drums, they get lost under all that midrange. sick tune so far man, prefer the original version though

Rebel- nice vocal sample heard it before somewhere though, well mixed intro. nice vibe on the tune, i dont really listen to hip hop so i cant say too much about the arrangement. Its an enjoyable listen though, nice work so far mate.I was stoned to hell when I made this, so be nice -

Atticuh: That intro sounds clean as hell! I was kinda thrown off when it first dropped, i didn't know what was going on but then i was like, okay cool! You have some very interesting sounds and patterns in there, i would try and get rid of the muddyness in the bass though, try a little scoop out at about 200hz and work your way up very slightly until you find a sweet spot that you like. Also the drums could do with a bit of work, they have the slam at the bottom end but they don't seem to have the crispness at the top. Overall though this is a very unique track, nicely done!

Donpablo: Very interesting concept for a track, going for a Hip Hop feel here ? I love the delay on those guitar hits, sounds super sweet. Your kick drum sounds spot on to me too along with your percussion, but the snare/clap wasn't doing it for me, try using a different sample or try cutting some mud from the one you have and layering a sparkly clap or snare over the top, good work so far though, interested to hear it finished.

@Donpablo Yeah eqing still needs to be done to bring out the kicks, so thats what today is for hahaha
@cheeky hahaha you and donpablo and me have the same prob with my song hahahaha yeah im gonna be eqing it better, after all the point of an equalizer is to equalize the sounds lol

@Wizzard Very interesting synth work O_O DIGGIN IT, i think it wouldn't hurt you to make more room for drums, but I love what you have going on. I really like the VIP.

@Cheeky the tune itself makes me feel stoned T_T but it's damn good man, I love it, i love the arrangement, drums, vibes, everything is top notch. very well made, enjoying it. Only thing I would suggest is to spice it up a little, change the grooves around a little more.. it's a tad repetitive.

@donpablo I love it man, it's groovy, but chill, but melodic, i dunno, it's vrey well made. I really have no negative comments, it's not much like anything I've ever heard.

@rebel Sounds clean, but not big on the vocal at all :/ and not really seeing much of a drake influence either :x still alright though, production wise it's ace, musically, it's not the greatest. the melodies aren't really appealing.. percussion work is good though.

@Atticuh sounds really cool man, but the basses seem a bit muddy O_O intro is a little bland.. vocal samples are very well used, and the percussion is juust AMAZING.

@acrap "working on my shiz" actually a very well structured "brostep" style tune, melodies are grimey, but your EQing seems poor, basses (or mid range rather) are just too loud at points, drums are DECENT but seem to get a little muddy.. still loving the ideas and song structuring..

@hero - kick's a little out of whack but otherwise a great tune
@andrei - excellent production, bass somewhat drowns out the rest of the tune

@ AndreiStephen thanks for the feedback man i actually stopped working on that track already i was working on it for a week and a half and frankly it repulses me even thinking about it now lol i wanna make something of higher quality with filthier basslines i guess im expecting too much of myself but i want club bangers already. how long have you been producing? this is a solid middle piece to a track lol reminds me alot of the way i structure my songs, really nice melodic synth with filthy mid basses, big ups man i'd like to hear this when its finished.

@ Astetik, I like your wubs :) Maybe cut the snare down a little bit, or change it to a snare that doesn't draw out that long, sounds more of a house type snare than dubstep.

TheGreatDanerrr- very eerie intro fantastic atmosphere on it. Not a huge fan of the yoys anymore but if you really want to keep em, work on adding some variation to them. You can try using other wavforms like the saw up or down to give it a different yoy (That wasn't worded very well sorry) keep at it though man!

Asetik- Interesting track, definitely needs some variation you can achieve that by doing things as simple as changing the speed of the wobble. keep at it man!

AndreiStephen- :W: Nothing negative to say man great production.





Been off producing since May, help getting back on track is highly appreciated.
