is it because its getting dirtier?

this was a cheap attempt to draw people and ask them to listen to my first dubstep production

Soundcloud

why do we need to hear your first effort?

its shit as are most peoples but not everyone insists upon upping it and spamming it all over the net

That's my plan of action too, no point doing it if it's not right! Most people that put stuff up for public scrutiny don't seem to have got to the point of it being ready even if they think it is (probably because they've either been A) showing off to people that don't know who are easily impressed or B) can't take criticism even if it's constructive or C) both the previous two). All the big dogs just make it and get it out, you don't see Skream, Distance, DMZ etc (missing out a lot of names, think of the top of the top) advertising their soundcloud and asking for public feedback :lol: they quite possibly watch this board though, I know Skream does overtly and I wouldn't be surprised if others did!

Your ideas get bitten if you show it off anyway

it's friendly if you're not a fucking retard or if you aren't here to spam up the boards.

i really wish there was some kind of filter that didn't let people start threads until they hit a certain post count, had been registered for a brief period, etc. would help drastically with all the b.s. that is posted up on a seemingly hourly basis these days.

The bass is wayyyyyy too loud in your track, and the kick/snare both lack punch and depth - try layering your drums and adding some compression and stuff, also there's not much in the way of percussion in there.

I'd also try to make something more melodic with your bassline, at the moment it seems to rely too much on the LFO automation rather than being catchy or interesting (since there are no vocals and bass is the focus it's gotta be something people can remember).

Also mess around with 3-4 bass patches in your bassline, with one sound it gets repetitive very quickly.


So yeah, long story short: work on your drums, your mixdown, and your bassline/patches and you're on your way!

Hope this helps, but next time, there's a thread here for posting your work-in-progress tracks for feedback: http://www.dubstepforum.com/works-in-pr ... 8-560.html

Also, spamming the boards with a random question like that just to get some feedback is not a good thing! If you wanted feedback at least have been honest about it :) .

Read the stickies, learn the rules, and you'll be fine. Most of us messed up when we first joined!
