Dude, Im totally into what youre trying to do; cross mixing genres, but Im not too keen on the pitches higher the track went; I thought it lost heavyness. Also, you might want to listen to a bit more how dubstep beats are composed. Usually if you dissect a song it will probably feature an intro, a build up, some sort of break, and then a heavy breakdown (which is usually the part the wobbles come into play), then a bridge/build up and back again. Ofcourse this is a bit basic, but try to incorporate that idea into your tracks. Once you learn how synths like Massive work, a lot of possibilities are available and you really can do whatever you want when you learn more and more about producing stuff.

So all in all, I like your idea; cross mixing, but keep producing and it will get better and better :].

Have a good one

Hey Man. Thanks for listening and commenting, really appreciate it.

With this tune, i casted the dub step structure aside and took more from the metal structure, generally ,because metal doesn't tend to follow 4/4 so i wanted that to influence the song ,and thats how it ended up.

With the pitches, the reason i pitched the guitars is i wanted a clean bottom end with no interference's to the bass I could have e'q the guitars and not pitched them but i find you loose a lot of the sounds warmth doing that,plus it adds a bit of mid-range which is what the tune was lacking.

All comments will be taken on board though. Thanks mate !

No problem man, good luck with your tunes! The 2 things that would make this track great for me atleast would be more the sound of the original guitars, coupled with a good sub bass riff, and some sort of build and climax, other than that I totally get why you did what you did, but keep producing man :].
