[ZimmermanStudios]

I don't know or care to think about whether I'm better than you, but I left some comments

[LaykoDubstep]

Let me know what you think anyways 2day!
Yeah i see them, thanks man i'm putting in some more work on it. appreciate it.

[-[2]DAY_-]

heh, sorry for the snarkyness, i couldn't resist. I like the arp thing at the beginning the most, the filth sounds are too up front and are masking your drums. Gonna take some work to get everything EQ'd so there's room for it all. It basically sounds just too full.
it's a good for putting a beat together but in my opinion no matter what the style u go for, you need to allow some space in the track for it to breathe. for instance just try rolling off the low end on most of the filth synths and you'll hear the kick drum much clearer. i understand its supposed to be a bass, but u gotta tame the lows and low-mids more. Compress then EQ.

[ZimmermanStudios]

Compress before EQ, except when you EQ before compression.

I find on synths with really out of control lows, sub 100 stuff, if I high-pass it before any compression I can get what's left to fill out more.

[LaykoDubstep]

haha i didn't mean really mean it like that. my songs used to be not full enough now they're too full? damn! haha. and sorry but i don't really get what you mean, i'll ask my much more experienced producer friend on the lingo/look it up haha. thanks a lot fellas i really appreciate it.

Constructively, the drums need work... they're hella boring... especially when that all that's on the track... The thing with drums is they need more than just a stock sample... the drums are almost as important as the synths. When you just drop in a couple sample drum hits from a sample pack, it cheap-ens the track. I tend to layer my drums with other drums and round out the sounds so they all sound similar. Don't just take a few drum samples order them and call it good. They too need to be incorporated into the track. Maybe this is too much feedback.... lol, but it's a good track.. just needs adjustment... Pce.

[SignalRecon]

You have a good beat going, pretty much whatever "Jester Fjord" commented on your track is my opinion, hes pretty much spot on, you have aq quality sound/feel near his third comment "and this is dope as fuck" ...
The intro is hella awkward tho, just throw some fills in there or something.

P.S. is that Vanguard or Silenth for your lead?

[LaykoDubstep]

omgitzjoe8 nah man haha i need all the feedback i can get. i'll do that, thanks a lot.
signal recon, i'm workin on it thanks it's Nexus by the way

[LaykoDubstep]

hey everyone that has helped me, i've been working on redoing it, i've changed a few things and tried to fix what you guys have told me to do, i've done some things with the EQ with the drums, changed that lazer and it isn't as high. added some more bass to parts. i did a few other things as well, i'll just repost the song on this forum here in a bit and if you wanna hear what i changed give it a listen and tell me how i did. thanks a lot

[LaykoDubstep]

let me know
Soundcloud

[LaykoDubstep]

ignore that last post. please. haha.

[LaykoDubstep]

Alright here we go, NOW the drums are fixed haha. tell me what you think guys if you got the time

Soundcloud

[Colton813]

I think those drums still need to be fixed. It's side chaining so much for such a little amount of kick. I think you have some good sounds happening that just need some wipe downs and a little mastering.

[LaykoDubstep]

Alright, thanks man

[MedikProductions]

heh, sorry for the snarkyness, i couldn't resist

i don't think i've ever heard the word snarky, or snarkyness. my autocorrect thing keeps telling me to change it lol.

-dude focus more on a structure to your song- divide it into different sections
-try not to use preloaded gates, or just gates altogether, as a main synth. it sounds trashy in dubstep, especially over the wobbles
-your rising sound pre-drop is way too high pitch, just try starting the glide at a lower pitch

a couple a points to help you get more on your way^

feedback?

[LaykoDubstep]

What do you mean structured? build up, "chorus" then another "chorus" but faster and changed up, break down, and re did it with a build down. guess i don't know what you mean.
i made all my synths haha i use massive, how do you get preloaded ones?

your track is sick by the way, haha really nice man good job. Idk about the j lo though haha, as long as it's not like...britney spears/lady gaga/katy petty/anyofthosebitches i'm ok. good job though for real.

[MedikProductions]

lol i occasionally listen to the radio and that song was just stuck in my head so i decided to remix it. good catchy chorus, don't like the rest.

ok so what i mean is that your song has some kind of structure, but you need transitions between them. that's one of the hugest parts of dubstep. gotta be creative but at the same time can't take it too far it has to sound appealing.

but yeah gates usually sound weird in dubstep, especially as a primary element. (i didn't know if you use nexus or something which comes preloaded with like a shit ton of gates)

mix your stuff so that kick is loudest, then bass, then snare, then lead, then hats, then background synths.

listen to big artists and literally copy their drum patterns so you can get a feel for it, there are no rules just certain patterns 'sound' better than others.

[LaykoDubstep]

oh you're talking about the background melody, yeah i use nexus, so you're saying i shouldn't use the sounds in nexus? how do i get a melody then? i thought you were talking about the wobble synths. but i'll work on my transitions.

yeah i have done that it's they're all pretty much the same. kick.....snare/clap.....kick....snare/clap. with hats repeating.
