@sub_lox intense intro, reminds me of a thriller movie, the whole rush/chase vibe to it. I enjoyed it, maybe some glitchy artifacts and filtered sounds placed randomly throughout your intro to create more interesting and complex arrangements, I like the filtered hardcore kick youve included, the drumroll build up is dope, You should add a reese bass or something building and pitching up as you build that final part up. but that is only my suggestion, dont need to take it :p everything is sounding nice so far, just needs more varients to create more interest.
@Triphosphate: Very nice intro, I like your videogame vibe you got going on, I personally feel the melody and progression could be a little more affective, but thats the only first 32bars, the second part where the sub comes in is dope!, perhaps add more fx and risers and automation to your melodies to create a more hype build up, it's good but could have maybe just a little more too create a cooler build. I am personally not a fan of the drop tbh, could maybe uses better transitions and glue between each bass segment, but it still sounds nice, just personally I feel it doesn't hold much interest as far as 'color' and bass textures are concerned but thats my imo. the kick can also be a little cleaner and some equing of everything, some parts sound too warm and slightly muddy, but AMAZING second drop, I really like that.
@AcidRat not a fan of the clap/snare, it could use some more equing and compression, perhaps adding a gated white noise everytime it hits to create a more crisper snare. the bass is decent, but sounds very dated, very basic or something you'd hear in 2006, could use better patches in my opinion. try sidechaining your bass a bit to your kick and snare because your snare drowns in the overpowering bass, I personally don't find the drop interesting but I totally get that everyone has personal preferences , the chords and melody is okay too but like I said before, sounds very washed up and something youd hear 4 years+ ago. synthesis has dramatically evolved since. overall a decent track mate
@stranger_sounds clean your kick. the cowbells need tiny gain reduction, the intro is decent, nothing new or interesting though, i like your minimal vibe once the chords come in. Your bass either doesnt sound in key or needs a different arrangement imo, i personally dont find an interesting groove with the bass but I assume your still early in production? Try add more melodies to your mix friend
@Gaol nothing personal but i loled at the intro, but once your chords and keys came in I took it more serious, you should try adding a melody or arppegiator with your yoi at the start to avoid a lame intro, i personally felt it wasn't a good way to have an intro but thats my imo bro, i like your late night vibe though, it has a nice soft feel to it and I love it, try add bass and more sounds to compliment your dreamy mix.
@Cthulhu interesting intro man, I like it. your rwaaarrr bass patch needs a little cleaning imo though either by equing or the synth itself, same for the similiar patch that comes in the next segment, everything else is very robotic and interesting, maybe glitchy melodic patterns and feedback patterns will create an even more evolving style, not sure why the drop sounds a bit lower near the end unless you did that for the sample, try keeping your mix consistent by checking your rms meter and db meter
@Living_Tragedy nice intro, very mainroom trance/house, get a new clap though bro, it's so 10 years+ ago man lol. I love your synths though
@living tragedy- reminds me of playing an rpg game lol, the mood it sets, i like it. maybe needs more sounds and melodies to create more variation and intersting in your mix, overall a nice chill yet heavy song, I love it, your mixdown is clean
@stranger sound, holy shit, nice second song, keep it the way it is, its so interesting and new, please finish asap
@KrashOverRide your song is alright mate, it's lacking interesting textures and arrangements imo, the kick and snare needs cleaning, maybe a new hi hat would better suit this song too, perhaps take it easy on that secondary kick thats adding to the groovy, it gets annoying after awhile
@mthrfnk very nice itnro man, I love the vibe of this, your mixdown is nice! Im in love with your reversed melodies, that's personally one of my most favorite musical ideas to apply, please create more and finish asap man
@ZankUSA decent intro man, is this song completely mono? it sounds like it lacks width and personally feel you should add more before wasting your time replying to multiples for a 30 second - sample imo lol
@deafblindmusic cool intro, very middle eastern vibe, personally not my type of dubstep but you're definitely onto something with this
this sample was in the early stages of my production and have cleaned it up and made it more tighter but I want to ask what yall think of the bass arrangement at least? and what needs some changing?
Soundcloud
tho personally i think the intro is a little long but 'trance' like. Maybe same vibe just add a little more or change up the pattern a bit ever so many bars to just add variety without losing that smooth vibe. SC followed
8 bit distortion kinda thing going on reminds me of like a mario level or something XD What you using to produce? some basslines are a bit off beat, drums are a bit repetitive, using loops? Best of luck mate! take a bit more time and patience and try listening it through different speakers, headphones etc. also your standard laptop/pc speakers and iPod headphones and you will realise some bits are a bit too loud and drowning the rest of the sounds out. all in all, keep it up and keep working hard at it. or take what you like from this and use it on something new.
