I know it's prolly uttershit, but whatever, it's my first track Made in Reason with an Oxygen keyboard. I need some help with the bass though :-/

Is that the old hardcore pack off reason?- i loved that one, maybe not best for this kind of dubstep though.

The pad at 30 seconds is much nicer than the one at the start, i'd try playing that as your intro, then coming in with the drums underneath it after 16 bars and then 16 bars later adding sub (in reason the easiest way to get a sub is to use the preset "Dirty South Sub" in Subtractor synth) underneath playing the same notes as the pad and voila 48 bars of great music

Keep at this man, I'd like to hear a more developed version

Yeah it is the hardcore pack! I like it too and it reminds me of Vex'd(the file on my computer is actually called "Something like Vex'd") and Aphex Twin.

About the sub, I'm gonna try with that one but I've done a lot of tweaking with the current sub.

Thanks, I appreciate it bruva!

Just a suggestion, but the transitions during the track are not very fluid. I don't know if that is exactly what you were going for but it kind of feels phrases from two different tracks. Maybe incorporating the loop you used from 29-50 with some percussion would make it a bit stronger, not percussion as strong as the rest of the track though, because it would almost overpower the effect that your synth has.

Its not a terrible attempt but keep at it, there is a bit of work needed, I'd like to hear some more developed versions of this also.

I don't know why, but it sounds out of time to me?

Thanks dosva and ComfiStile(I think it was out off time but it should be fixed now)

Any tips on how to make those goddamn transitions better, I've always been bad at making those..

What do you people like about it now?

I think it finished a lot stronger than the first version of it, a couple seemingly out of place notes but nonetheless it was stronger. The incorporation of the synth at the end enhanced it. Just curious but do you plan on increasing the length of the overall song? If not the stop at the end is very abrupt. Maybe try using your track envelope to fade it out slowly. I can say that this is a bit of an improvement.

Ah fuuu- I'm starting to hate this track myself. Might salvage the 3 riffs out of this one and make 3 new tunes instead :-/

00:04 reminds me of Rush - subdivisions

Hey, sometimes salvaging random parts of projects is the best way to start new ones, I know I've done this before. I mean, I've worked on tracks for days and by the end of the time spent on them I can only salvage maybe a bass line. Everything is a learning experience
