Psykotropik - The Twilight Zone (Eerie Dubstep) (Free DL)

[Samuel71]

Hi, I'm a Canadian dubstep lover who is trying my hand at production. Here's a track I produced with Twilight Zone samples, using Reaper and a variety of free VSTs:

Soundcloud

Any tips to improve my future songs?

The bass goes out of time. Use quantize to have everything time. Unless you want the out of time feel.
The kick and snare are too quiet in mix. The kick needs to be more powerful. Look into layering the kicks and snares.
Add variation in the arrangement and sound design.

But since you're new to production good job, keep it up.

Thanks for the tips!

not bad for just starting out man - keep at it. i'd refer to a mixdown / gain-staging thread for ideas about how to make the sounds fit properly in the mix, while also making your tune sound a million times better overall

Thanks, I have a lot of reading to do! And trying things out.
