Needs to do somewhat more than just repeat bass and drums for two minutes. Add some more parts and vary what's there

Crackling sound problem explained here http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=4573

Personally speaking there needs to be something more to it than beats and bass. Sounds like fairly standard dubstep as it is, why not develop it into a full track and then ask for feedback?

It's your tune, we're not writing by committee here

I know that my ears give the best feedback. But im asking if ur people feelin it, thats all. I know its to standard, but its a beginning ;)

Because i just started producing, i want some recognition that im on the right track...

Fair enough mate, probably some grumpy early morning thing in the previous response. I'm not really feeling this beat to be honest, as there's just not enough there to actually latch on to, but in all fairness it's early days, so it would be wrong to be negative at this stage. I suggest you look here

http://www.computermusic.co.uk/main.asp for some tutorials

http://forum.midiaddict.com/ here for a forum (think they have a newbies special up there, to help get you started)

http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Technique.php Might be a bit more complex, but bookmark it and use it later

Also try googling up the software you're using to find techniques specific to that.

I think that what would be helpful is to listen to the tunes you like, and see how they develop, and maybe write that down and see what elements come in and then work from there. You only need to use it as a blueprint, but it'll be a good learning tool. Add pads, effects, additional counter-rhythms, etc and allow builds and drops to build the dynamic of the track.

I think that if you just post clips of just bass and drums, people aren't going to listen after a while, my understanding of how the production forum here works is that you post the track as near as finished as you can get, and then ask for feedback there. Quite a few tracks get no response whatsoever up here, and if people take the time to listen, you should make it worth their while. Try to get a full tune done, and then ask for feedback, I'd recommend. Doubt anyone here started as a master of their art, so don't be put off :wink:

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW U CAN MAKE STRINGS YOUR OWN
DA ORIGINAL (SECOND FILE) IS FROM EDIROL
THEN I MANGLED IT ON OTHER SOFTWARE.

BEATS HAVE NICE BANG FROM COMPRESSION AND SNARE HAS NICE REVERB.(BUT IS TOO LOUD :dubstep rave: )
