Not usually my type of dubstep, but beyond that personal bias, this is really good!

Thanks guys! I'm not a professional or anything I've been teaching myself how to use ableton and make this kind of music via youtube and this forum pretty much so im stoked you guys think its good. If you have any criticisms too though i'd really love to hear em I'm always combing thru my own tracks trying to identify any problem so i can fix em. If you wanna hear more of my jams they're all up for free on my soundcloud

damn thanks dudes! i always read the threads on here for mixing advice but havent posted too much yet. im gonna have to change that! in the meantime if you check my soundcloud i've done a little over 40 tracks in the past year they're all up for free DL for the 320. http://soundcloud.com/jackdeezl

I think Common Enemies is probably the best of em tho haha, I'm gonna try to push all my next tunes harder with sound design. Feel free to send me new shit on soundcloud I'm on there obsessively trading tunes with people.

It actually sounds a lot like Kill The Noise's Spitfire remix, look it up, crazy sounds in it.
I liked it though, I'm jelly.

I cant lie its some sick production but doing 40 tracks in a year will teach you. Hell Im only up to 13 and Im still after that "sound" seems like everyone is teaching themselves thesedays.

Nice, very nice.

It does seem like everyone is going for Skrillex's bass though nowadays. Try something unique, my latest track has a blend of Skrillex and my own unique mid and other stuff.

But keep going at this rate, I say in about 6 months to 1 and a 1/2 years time, you'll be at Skrillex's level.

To be honest, I don't understand why you titled this what you titled it. It doesn't not really seem like anything Skrillex would make. I think it sounds like a nice blend of house(intro), Dubstep and pure madness. Very nice style you have going!

Jack- it's a pretty cool tune! I'd like to give you honest feedback... since you titled this thread as such, I would say no, you wouldn't give Skrillex a run for his money. I agree with the previous poster- it's very much NOT similar to Skrillex, apart from the slight similarity in the noise. I think it's much more in the same vein as something like Noisia, which is certainly not a bad thing! I think what really sets Skrillex apart from the bunch is the fact that he not only utilizes absurd, gritty sounds, but he also crafts a very musical progression with said sounds... he writes a well-structured song instead of wobble variations over a beat. Like I said, don't get me wrong- I definitely love listening to monster-sounds in the dark over a fat beat a la Koan Sound, Noisia, or Culprate. Just very different styles of dubstep, in my opinion.

in response to the last 2 posts, i did that a) to get attention and b) because that seems to be the standard everyone's holding themselves to now. i agree im not trying to do what he does haha im a fan of his engineering skills but no so much the music.
