Hi go by the name Priest. I usually make dnb and breaks but have forayed into dubstep a little lately.

This is my first full dubstep song and I like to think it has it's own flavor. Check it and hit me some feedback plz.

Interesting stuff. Very good compositional work.
Would have like to have heard some sort of drop to bring it up a level to be honest.

Hey thanks for the reply mate. Like I said I am new to producing dubstep and am usually a dnb man so when I hear someone say make it 'drop' it just think of a spazzed out break beat. If u could emphasize on that I would love to hear ur input. What I do know about dubstep is the focus on the wobble bass and in my track the bass is consistent (actually the bass sample loop doesn't change). Is that perhaps what u r referring to?

Usually dubstep works by introducing an idea, gradually building it up over 16/32 bars (in a crescendo if you like, not necessarily of volume, but more so of intensity) up to a 'drop'. Here I usually look for a really fat synth bassline (along the same lines of the intro) with a nice subbass underneath and then the drums on top. Maybe add a mid-high range synth also. Develop that idea for a bit, bring it don (the breakdown), and then bring it back up for another drop. That's just an idea to work with. You don't have to follow it like a rigid procedure. But it usually works. Listen to my most recent track (www.soundcloud.com/overhertz) for an idea of a build up in the intro a followed by a drop. Let me know how you get along with your next tracks...

Thanks again. I'm definitely feeling what u r putting down! Great tracks but as I said b4, that phat ass wobble element is something I've yet to get a grasp on. Your tracks are all over it to the point of diminishing the ol' kick snare beat which is so elemental in what I have been using as the hook for my tracks. Very inspirational man, keep it up! I'm not sure how my style may develop but I know something will come of it.
