So, if you have time, check any of the tracks and write me your opinion here, or on soundcloud.

These are tight sounds, and it's mixed pretty well. I think the lack of melodic movement in your main bass sound stagnates it. You have enough glitched out shit and switch ups in the sound to give it movement everywhere EXCEPT that big reesey thing, and that's probably where all the interest should be.I also think that synth should be like 2-3db up in the mix. Other than that, some obvious mastering tweaks; the frequency balance sounds really midrangey with no treble. Multiband compression + RTA + reference music is your friend.

FBF?

Cheers, thanks for listening. Great feedback. My lack of music studies whatsoever might be responsible for the lack of melody :P. I didn't catch "reesey". What does it mean?
You 're right about mixing. mastering and stuff. Doing the best I can with my setup ( 2 small BX5a's monitors ), and I 'm still experimenting by watching producers' masterclasses on youtube. Your post made me consider a lot of stuff, props.

If FBF stands for facebook or something, I don't have one, but I 'll follow you on soundcloud.

A reese is a synth with two sawtooth waves tuned slightly off from each other to get that big phasey sound. A reese + distortion = most of the 'big dirty's in dubstep, I'd say.

You have the some monitors as I do so no cop-outs; it's not the equipment, it's your ears and skill at mastering =P. Try loading up a song matching your style in FL or whatever you use and AB back and forth between it and your track while doing your mastering. It's very hard to get overall timbre right without constantly going back and listening to well-mastered music as reference.

FBF is feedback for feedback, but thanks for following me!
