Hi everyone,

I have been producing for quite some time,
and played in a dub band for years, until
recently I was just producing strange electronica,
now I thought I would try doing a little dubstep.
This is what I came up with last night,
I would say the sound is not traditional dubstep
but it is half-step as far as I understand what you guys have
been talking about here on the forum, am not really that much
into divving up genres and all that, as I am not a dj

edit: hmm seems to be a bit too relaxed for you guys huh?

no-one ?
no comment at all?
not even - that is just plain annoying or something?

Actually,it's not too bad a tune.I can definitely see where the dub band experience comes into play.

The main thing that I can hear with it is the production.The idea is good,but it sounds like it's being heard inside a giant metal trash bin.Maybe focus less on the effects on the drums.Especially the reverb.The kicks don't really have much punch and the snares sound a bit sloppy because of it.The vocals are kind of dry,so maybe apply the reverb and some delay there.And a good rule of thumb is to eq EVERYTHING seperately before the final mixdown.And wobble is nice,but a sublow bass is far more important in my opinion.Not a bad first effort though.My first electronic forays sounded really flat and had that 70's AM radio soft rock warmth!!

Don't worry mate.It's not like anybody just wakes up and is a superstar producer.I started with analogue rock production before I began digital production,so while some things are the same,others are drastically different in terms of nuance and tone.I've done analogue dub and I do digital dub.I've been doing it for a few years now digitally and I still learn new things everyday!So keep at it!

And don't worry about people not responding to a new dub post.There are loads of producers in here trying to get heard all at once,so just bump it a couple times and have patience.People will eventually listen to it.Some people may like it,others might not,but either way,not everyone responds.

Ez.

Edit.Double post.

Ed,i Like Your Soundz. This Soundz Has Originaly Taste.

Keep Goin'!!

Cheers Guys, I was getting a bit worried there
thank you for the pointers with regard to the production, I am painfully aware of what you are saying, especially with regard to the drums,
but i am not really sure if I can change a lot, because I basically just recorded a wave file of the drummix while editing the patterns live,
I will go back to editing, and reworking, when that is done I will post again,
its just that I was not too sure if anybody would consider the idea of the tune really worth pursuing, I do think it is dope, but you know sometimes it is just a good idea to get a reality check
So Big Ups for the pointers!
will listen to some stuff on the forum once I get home, and get me some sound going instead of this dumb library PC.

greetins
Edwin
