I'd appreciate any feedback :t:

I've sent it to a couple promotion Channels on youtube and DubstepTunez would like to upload it if I can "Do something with the mastering because it doesn't seem the right Quality"
Please help me out here guys!

Very original, sub was kinda weak in my opinion. Alot of clutter noise. Try cutting the synth a little higher so it's separated more, and therefore you have more headroom.

Thanks! I always cut my synths low so they don't clash with the bass but never thought of cutting them High. This version also had a shitty master on it with too much compression so It sounds much better since I've remastered but I'll go ahead and Tighten up the Synths.

So, here's my opinion:
Great start it works. All I think it needs is to have the drums way further in front. They're just a little too distant for this style. This is just personal taste, but your bass is also way too far in the back. I wanna hear it! Think more along the lines of Excision and less Mt. Eden

I appreciate it man! I was getting mixed opinions about the drums on another forum as well But I think I might move them up a bit. As for the bass, This was the perfect place to come because nobody else has been complaining about it being too weak and my speakers are shit right now so I couldn't tell! I've Put some more weight behind the subs and slightly on the synths, cut some of the higher end of the synths and tightened up the overall high end, and I'll be posting the results shortly :Q:

*Btw, Listened to the song in your sig. Nice!

The choir synth at the start has some nasty frequencies in there at the start (probs the filtering). You can prevent that easy with a EQ sweep with the filter, just a bit behind.

Your drums are drowned by the hugeness of the pad and the bleeps.

Your sub isn't loud enough and the wobble has no relationship with any of the other sounds.


I think this track needs a lot of work int he mix down and making everything work together.. It starts a dark sub roller and ends up processing into this disjointed piece of noise with some syncopated drums under it.

Not saying its bad - it just needs a more clear direction.

Hey man thanks for the advice. It'll definitely help with my next track ;-)
