Wow 6 really nice tracks in a row, that doesn't happen often.
I'll bold your names so you don't miss it.
@Tripwire, that's a really smooth track dude, i'm bobbing right through it. Some female vocals might be able to bring out the latent Sex-Me-Up vibes in this one. @Gombles, i like the pads and pluck sounds or whatever that is. Nice and lush. Make it longer, have the chord progression move on a little bit. I didn't want this one to end so quick. Tighten up the drop a little bit, and this will be great @ThePeak, i like the percussion in this one a lot, the filter work is really nice too, opens it up at the right times. Not too complex, bass is nice and sporadic. This is really nice. @KingNoble, this one is really different. I love all the eclectic styles. Gypsystep anyone? For real though, great idea. Drop is solid too, highhat is a little invasive but that sort of prepares for the upcoming horn parts if you know what i mean. Fantastic. the bit at 2:00-2:08 or so is madness. @Baaan, fuck yes dude. Sounds like you should have been signed to Warp in the mid-to-late nineties. (Mean that as a compliment ) I don't really want you to change much of anything in this ... maybe compress a wee bit for the final master, but this is really really nice. @Bradicle (first one), towards the end, my ears feel like the piano should have come back in WITH the bass drops, (but i don't know - i didn't make it, it might not even work.) Solid track, do some tiny tweaks on your wobbles, filters, and EQs and this will be ready for the floors.
OK i've got a couple new works-in-progress, neither of which are dubstep at all, but i hope you guys don't mind.

@JayZest
Weirds me out a little that the hi hats are louder than the organ sound in the intro.
Solid progression, arrangement, and instruments. Bring down that hat!
The wobbling sine sub confuses my ears, can't really catch on to the bassline as well. Try putting your LFO on a few different knobs (amp, volume, pan, gain, comp thresh, res) and see which work best together. I know some sort of wobble would work ... but not this one.
It's got a distinct 80's vibe. Sounds like there should be a Bat for Lashes track on top, heh

Kesek I really like Outer Channels even if there are 10,000 side chains. I feel like from 2:05 to 2:40 could use some working on, nothing sticks out bad to me just yeah maybe some touch ups in there...

@streetxlite - nice track (the dnb one) , im feeling it. the intro is beautiful and the drum work is brill aswell, with the little bits in the background. only thing i would say bout the drums is im not too fond of the snare.. maybe needs more punch? layer another one on top maybe.. as for the house track, i dont listen to house at all, but im feelin the chilled out vibe u got goin on. nice effect with the sidechain. feels real spacious aswel which is good.
@zayzest - very cool organ sounds u got goin on, i agree with what streetxlite wrote about the sub, little bit confusing on the ears, other than that solid track.
Easy people, just been working on this for a couple of days, wanted to get a bit of feedback. Absolute banger, dont be fooled by the name. Nice modem sounds on the intro and lush pads. Drops into a monster! Soundcloud

work in progress. let me know your thoughts ppl's -
many thanks in advance for your curiosity and kindness.
keep it under.
-tp
sup tyler. i like the vibe to it. dark sounding. are those some guitar bits in there?
suggestions:
-few more incidental sounds, to add variation and interest.
-more variation in melody to that main bassline - tho that might mess it up. can tell yur going for a minimalistic ting. but try it maybe.
-instead of above suggestiong could maybe add some pads with reverb in the second part with new melody coming in.

cheers man, i was thinking this about the snare, either that or go the other way entirely and get a more organic subdued snare or just a good rim.
Got a shit ton more wips coming very soon guys, i need to start thinking about releases. thanks for the feedback thus far.
Never made glitch-hop before so any feed back would be great.
Pretty heavy stuff.

@idlemode I really like this, the bass is nice and warm, and I like that little bit that just goes 'woh-woh', if you know what I mean. Brilliant track.
@streetxlite - Redeyed Jedi - Really nice, it feels quite summery to me, I like it alot
Wondering if I could get some feedback on where to go with this track?

Thanks for evryone who previously gave feedback on this track, almost finished i think, might have spent too long on it as i haven't got a clue where to go from here, any feedback would be wicked, (mix might be bad cause i'm waiting on a new set of monitors to arrive so been doing it on Tannoy hi fi speakers ><) just ideas on where to go, shit like that !
) I don't really want you to change much of anything in this ... maybe compress a wee bit for the final master, but this is really really nice.
