Hi errybody...

@mthrfnk - Really cool, works really well as a proper intro, and the drop f-in kills it! You should mix about the sound abit more tho, maybe add some more punchy bass in the background, but just generally make it hit your face even harder with the sound image and it will be a killer

@GuardianGate - Im not that keen on the melody... That mallet plop drop tho, and the second aswell, that shit tight... You should focus more on that, get it more vicious like that trumpsta but keepin the dub inspirations.... Otherwise OK production

@willryan042 - Chill vibes, you got a great foundation! A bit too many different stuff not being coherent enough tho, making it a bit confusing

This is some stuff with very low aspirations just playing with trappy percs and some mixed mallet. Is it anything that one might want to explore further?

@dial_back: Some good fundamentals, I like the synths you got going in the track, good old skool vibe to it. If you could just make the kick and snare punchy-er that would be great.

@mthrfnk: I don't particular dig the song, but everything thing seems to be fine. The snare isn't that punchy gets lost in the drop except for in that kool tiny break.

@GuardianGate: I see you are following the deep house trend haha. The white noise seems to be very loud if you could make it more subtle it work a little better. Maybe just general mixdown stuff. Those clicks are great stuff man.

Worked on some riddem the past night. So far turning out very well. Secret link so you will have to listen to it on soundcloud.

@bassface dude, the synths are great, composition is great,

@srakoin punchier claps, synth is wet but I think it's a little too wide, drum structure is awesome

@alex really nice vibes, sub takes you by surprise

worked on this this whole day

srankoin :

How hard is it to read rules ?
Give feedback to at least 3 people before asking for some.
It's on the first page ffs, how can you miss it ? I believe some people ignore this rule on purpose.

@Triphosphate - Damnnnnnnnnnnn dude. Sick stuff man, i'm really lovin' the classical influence and the arrangement is nice and keeps everything flowing.

@Turnipish thoughts- I love the vibe, and those background pads are nice and lush. Good stuff.

@Subfect- The intro was a little long for my taste, but definitely worth the wait. At least once I turned my sub on, lots of nice deep vibes.

Not dubstep, but feedback would still be sweet. I've been listening to a lot of Dilla lately, so I've been trying to get that East coast kind of sound.

Hello again,

@zosomagik - Smooth vibe, but the chord play became kind of confusing and lost it's hook. Give it some more work.

There were really no more to comment on, so ill give you mine, again.

This time i've tried to make a more kind of hip hoppy intrumental, trying to be a bit heavy. I have some plans on mabye havin a friend rappin over it, but i'd just like to hear what you think now before I go further with it.

alexander - pretty interesting sounds, i would maybe like a little more in the melody department to make it a little catchier

zoso- love this style but its definitely too on beat for dilla :P groovy though i like it a lot. i would maybe add a little variation to the bassline to give it more groove

koast - not personally my cup of tea but you have some interesting ideas. i would work on the sound design a little to make your synths a little more dynamic. cool start though

here's mine

mtl6 Nice one it does sound like music with the melody and main theam, simply good chill music , may be playing around with some sidechain compression and mixig will make it clearer in terms of mixing, the rest is good )
Alexandercunningham Man that's atmospheric as hell, very cool , only too much sub I would say, keep up the good work )
zosomagik Grovy , I love chord progression and you know , who am I to tell you about mixing , there is youtube. The time you invest in learning eq and compression does pay off in like a week ) keep working in same direction you're doing good )

my tune, having told everyone to invest time in equing I havent got far myself .... )

Triphosphate
Your tune is really original. It is an interesting combination of sounds. The drums are good too. The are well sequenced and they sound nice and fat. The only thing you should work on is mixing. Some of the synthase are to squeaky and need to be mixed down.

zorboT
It was quite good except some of bass devastated my ears. They were cool, but they were two high pitched. The drums were good too. They sounded pretty fat. I'd love to hear the finished product.

subfect
The song was very good. It had good a good atmosphere. The kick was fairly standard, so maybe you could make it more original. Also, the hats seemed to be,dare I say, to beefy for the song.

Me
I have been working on this track for a while. I don't like things that are too noisy, so I tried to make this one feel spacious. Please give me some feedback and let me know what genre it is.

I liked your song. It has a very texture. The hand drums wee an interesting and overall good choice. I liked the bass a lot. It was nice and dirty with out being too belligerent. The vocal sample really added to the song

Your bass was good. So was your sequencing. The son was a little to busy for my liking, but I can see it's appeal. My only criticism is that your drums were a bit flat. Maybe you could make them pop a bit more. Overall it was a good song. :4: :4: :4: :4: :) :) :) :) :4: :4: :4: :4:

I liked your song a lot. It had a nice groove. I think your synths were well eq'd. My only criticism is that the snares lacked texture.

Alexandercunningham: Love the percs!! 0:47 is muddy! Fix it with some EQ'ing. The lows/low-mids. Love the snare!!

alexeyhermann: Damn! Cool track! Just work out the mixdown! Really like the vox! The rides in the drop is high in volume. Turn 'em down! And yeah, the EQ'ing need some work! But good shiz!

Dubstar999: I like the style, but I would work on the drums. They're weak, and the bass i high in volume. But I really like the idea! :)

@srankoin - Sounded great on the AKG's, really loved that main synth too, all round great sound.

@bassf4ce - Nice sound, well produced, not enough variation there though, got a bit samey, esp the drums, would def work on that.

@alexandercunningham - Really enjoyed this, good drum work, nice tension, main synth complements the background atmos very well. Woukld like to hear some female vocals in there somewhere, but thats just me. Excellent work so far.

@dubstar999
what the f*** ... no.. not bad but.. realy. WHAT THE .. :D thats sounds strange. pretty strange.
i would love to hear more pressure right inside this synth.
its a synth right?
:O
sorry.. cant tell more.. its kinda strange! :D

@BloodySnort
punchy drums. good mix. nice intro.
but in the mainpart is just high frequenzy mashup. cant tell but it hears like a 2khz cut.. so its just about 2khz and no mids.
not bad at all but pls fix that.. it smashes my ear @ my adam a7x (fucking clear highs)
all in one.. sounds okay. not my kind of music, not my style but if i would hear that in a club i would dance like nobody else

@echoi
intro is fucking nice.
sounds deep.. the synth is creepy as fuck.
(like a child in the dark night outside your window.. oh yes)
the problem in my opinion is that there is no pressure.
cant realy feel the sub D:
but its crazy.. and is very good sounddesign.
the claps later is to much for me. some filtering would be fine.

here is one of mine:
and i know i have a 1khz cut.. i will fix it later.. just accidentally turned the wrong EQ on.
Soundcloud
next one coming soon :P just wait some posts in here

EDIT:
pls click the link, the tune is secret so it wont work in here.

redraw,
to answer your question, it is a synth bass with white noise in one of the oscillators.
Your tune is great. It's nice and dirty and the drums are good. My only suggestion is two work on the EQing
