that little ah-ah-ah-ah-ah noise is the shit. But the bass after the drop needs to be heavier. But that's seriously my opinion, so if you like it how it is, that's cool. So far, it's a solid piece. I wanna see more from you.

I actually like it... I can tell you used Massive. It is a great dubstep production tool, but it is limited on its possibilities. I actually do not like massive for bass. More for melody. The track in my sig was made with massive in FL Studios.

I'm kinda diggin this track it just seems kind of over all lacking somewhere theres no ear fuck spots where a track like this should definitely have. Keep working mang
LOL I am just starting to use FL for dubstep and this is the only vid that showed me how to open Sytrus! Thanks, at least you helped me out. :)

i like it a lot i want to see more but theres no build up or drop at all it kind of leads into the bass (which isnt a bad thing) though the vocal is used too much and there is no variation in the bass. but if you were going for more ambient sounds thats good too

Yes...Yes....the build up and break are being a bitch for some reason...with my experience i am finding it very hard to come up with a unique Build up and break....Im guessing a little more experience in making tracks will help...@conficker...I too hate how the build up leads into the first drop(i've done about 7 intro's and breaks, and hated them all), and as for variation i have tried to make some other bass to go with it, and they dont sound good togather...will keep at it though!..... @BeastModeForDummies...YES! You are exactly right! Now just gotta figure out how to make Ear Fuck Spots!...@Tweeka...no, no sampler...i just took some vocal samples(about 5 different ones), chopped and looped em to taste!...@Zeta-Sagittarii...massive is the only vst i currently use, i will be purchasing more as soon as i can afford it...operator in Ableton is also pretty dope, but thats all i have for now...soon i will purchasing more software! Thank you all for critiquing this....Back to work! Will post the final version!

You'd be suprised what FL Studios 'SYTRUS' is capable of. I had for years and never used it. Was given a tutorial on it and its pretty powerful.

Fruity loops modulation and lfos are limited. Ableton perculator is the shit. Makes dubstep really simple.

Yer this is ok.......Think the bass is weak because you have bass from the first second of the tune
up till the bass.....would sound 100X if there was less bass in the build up.....

Dont worry about what production tools your are using...use what feels best for you and ignore everybody
else...what the point in changing stuff unless its broken.........

Overall nice tune...just needs a bit less bass in places to keep that bassline sounding a bit repetative...
