Will give feedback to everyone who gives feedback to me.

The beat is tight, the guitar gives it good ambiance. Bass is cool. The ending @ 2:20 might need some attention. The drop @4:40 is nice.

It should be the first tune in the player---WINDOLICCA

only done half the tune so far but see what u think !

Here is my second attempt at making dubstep, its in progress and is generic, but you got to learn the basics first!!
I will also attempt to add a player...

chillax tune, bra. i'm digging the vibe

the subtle vocal is a nice touch and i really enjoy the organic sounding drums (im a big pangaea fan)... the end of the tune sounds like it should be the breakdown (is this what you meant by half done?) if you plan on keeping the tune this short, maybe add a breakdown similar to this?

id add a few more sweeps in there just for some variation too.

good work though.

pretty impressive for a second attempt! the bass on those wobbles is a bit weak... try layering your bass? (a low end and high end) maybe add some distortion to make it a little grittier. also, maybe ease up on the wobbles a bit? 3 min of wobbling is alot! how about at the end of every 4 measures you add some sort of unique variation to the drum beat and lay off the wobble? maybe add some more power to the drums as well?

Thanks man ! Yeh that is what i meant by half done, there will be a breakdown where it ends.

I always do the little sweeps and fills after ive got the whole track down.

Glad you like it

edit : just noticed you'd posted a tune. Really like it man the vocals sound sick ! Drop is trippy aswell haha

cheers for the tips, how did you get your snares snappy?

anyways, loving the track, real HEAvy, maybe a bit of high end leadage, i fucking love my melodies

also maybe a bit more verb on the snares? don't really have a reason but i think it would sound kl


ahhh shit i fucked up the quote, hopefully youll get my noobish advice anyways, one more thing, love the space between the subs so it hits you good

i layer/resample my snares to get them just right and add a little build up before each snare

for example, i'll go through a boatload of 1 hits, stack them on top of each other and add fx (when necessary) so i've got something that sounds really good. then, i'll re-sample it so it is its own new, flattened, wav file.

once i have them in place, i like to add a quick little "pre-snare" sound which is usually something that sounds like a mini sweep or the beginning of a whip sound.

throw that thing right in front of the snare and there ya go.

interesting style man... its like downtempo'esque dubstep

im a basshead, so i would like to see stronger sub bass to get it moving... though, it doesn't seem like that is what you're trying to accomplish? the guitar is amazingly cool... reminds me of some miami vice type shit. i don't care for the breakdown at 3:13 nor the very end from 4:28 on. change those up, add a little more variation to the drums, a few sweeps and you've got yourself a solid tune.

hey dudes first time posting here.
i just wanna say that theres some real amazing talent on these forums. ive already learned alot by just sifting through a few threads.
but yeah, a little about my self, junior in highschool, just got FL studio, longtime dubstep fan.

heres my second fl song.

im desperately in need of critique thank you

Valid points - Yeah the breakdown needs soem work just was a bit stuck for ideas how to approach it as well as at 4:28 - at the moment working some getting some of the real drums ive recorded through the last couple of months and layering them with the semi-electronic sound drums adding some background strings and some nice fills! Its sound beefing as farrrk if i say so myself - turned the sub up a bit too (was a bit shrunken in the mix eh?

What tune you working on?

cheers for the tips, so the whip sound, is that gonna be like filtered white noise or a reversed snare?

(Dazed) started on this one a few hrs ago...
http://soundcloud.com/thierry-le-dj/dazed-1 (heavy bass) i think maybe the reverb is maybe to mouch on the synth...but a feed back would be great.

Try using less wobble and more sounds. Right now it seems like just drums and a wobblebass all the way thru.
For it not to get boring real quick it could really use some more drops and quiet parts.

Listening to the first half had me wondering where are the drums..??
I can't seem to find a rithm in it either. Then when all comes together
the snare hits and there's some more rithm. But you have all kinds of frequencies
clashing together and way to many sounds going on at once. You
know the saying "less is more".. Or if you like this try eq-ing the sounds
to make them fit together.
