[-Symmetric-]

This is my first song using Ableton because I come directly from Fruity Loops. Please give me your feedback

interesting intro mate the synth overpowers the bass on the intro a little...the kick could be more powerful and the snare has a lovely crunch and is good just maybe give it a boost in the lows or layer it with a pitched up kick, other than that the percussion is sounding good...theres something about the mixdown on the bass. maybe too much mids?? and you need to get the sub pumping a little more...i love the switch to dnb. this is really well executed personally i wouldnt switch it back to dubstep at the end asthis could be a great dj tool to switch a mix from dubstep to dnb...this is all just my honest opinion and i think this could be a banger with the right tweaks mate!! it would be cool to get some feedback in return! http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=257016

Thanks so much Pazza ill see what I can do, and I will definitely consider ending it in DnB.

no worries man and cheers for the feedback on my track. what i think is the secret to a good mixdown is that you should take your time with every sound as you put it in the track...when and if i do a final mixdown 90% of the sounds are completely untouched. i just like to reference on different types of speakers and maybe give little tweaks to some sounds but all the mixing is done as i put the track together.

There is the thing i dont own audio monitors yet I got to work with my headphones and sometimes I lose some sounds...

Drums are quite weak and getting lost behind the midrange screech that is going on there. Also recommend varying the snare programming, it's very static.
