New Dubwise Tune

finished my first track which i like to share with you. as this is my first track any feedback will be appreciated

one thing first: this is not really a dubstep BUT a dubwise tune. i've set the tempo @ 138 bpm so that it's nice'n'easy to mix with some deep dubstep stuff. but less talk, more rock, here's the link:

if someone wants a 320kbps version feel free to pm me!

Productions really good, except the bass seems to be out of tune, or it's hitting a wierd note at the end of the pattern, sounded a bit odd to me. Might be worth trying it an octave up and see if it makes sense. Might be my ears though...

Agree with the out of tune bass....sounds slightly strange. Liking the dub vibes on this one tho. Proper dubhead styleee. Vocal is good and beats work nicely.

@sidesteppa: yeah, i love the vocals. i've to give credits to frighty for this, cause i've borrowed the snippet from his track "call on jah name" out on jah tubbys 7" in 2001. i thought about voicing my friend Bobby. he's our jamaican mc and fx man on our weekly reggae dance but he's more an entertaining mc and not a singer.

@ramadanman: thanx! just fixed the out of tune bass but before i'll upload the new version i'll have a listen at my mate's monitors because i'm working on a real low-budget level (just my crappy hi-fi and a pair of akg dj headphones)...

@metalboxproducts: thanx too! i'll send you the 320 when everything works properly.

theres something wrong with the sub i dont know what it is maybe it coulbe an octave lower, the drums are fucking cool, and the other synths i just have a nagging feeling about the bass

needed a bit more time to get anything managed. i've exchanged the bass line completely and added a little bit more delay to the organ synth. sounds ok to my ears but this might not be the case with yours, maybe...

hey marty - this is nice... the first set of synth keys still seem in conflict with the bass for some reason?

I love the 'dwoopy' additions after the first bridge.

Do you have someone who could play the bassline for you? It has such a roots vibe to it I think it would add a really special layer if you found someone to play it out for you over the track... adding a natural feel to the dubwise sound.

I also think the envelope is short on your "keyup" on the main synth chords - would like a little more delay or verb or some sort of 'trail' in there.

This is my first time extensively reviewing a song on this board so if I am overstepping bounds please feel free to tell me to eff off

thanx a lot to anyone who replied feedback. if anyone is interested in a 320 just pm me!

@ozeb: you'll laugh but i really thought about letting someone play the bass for this tune. maybe we'll do that in a few weeks when i get together with my mates. one of them has shitloads of guitars and i think a bass guitar too. will talk to him...

@Lord_Qzuma: thanx mate!

@DeepThought: just check your pm's
