Hi Promo,

I think the thing is no one wants post if they really aren't felling the tunes. I know as I have a tune up with 1 vague comment :)

Murda weapon, I'm not feeling it, its kinda happy hardcore dubstep. The bass isn't strong enough & the samples are a bit cheesy. Yeah its pretty ravey but that not what this whole thing is about is it ?

Through the under is a better concept for me but too many happy light airy sounds.

Don't want to be to negative mate just all sounds like your just starting out ?

The tunes on here that get lots of positive feedback are generally half time very dark & complex, the standard is very high. Another thing thats not helping is the link you provide where u have to down load it. Much better to have a link where it just pops up & plays when u click it, people are lazy !

Try playing your tunes up against others that you really like, compare the sounds progression & mixes. Its not all about copying but if you are trying to create a certain feel it may help. (advice I also need to follow)


Take its easy..........

My effort is here but I realise now that its not even dub step !

you got all the right ideas. It just seems to me like you need to work on your sounds. Personally i'd like the drums a little bit dirtier and your synths a little bit thicker/more character/custom. Just my opinion tho. You definitely got someth'n go'n for you, keep at it!

Hit me up in the space or on aim. If you have any questions.

Cheers guys. He he erm well I've been making tunes for number of years. Guess I'm not getting much better at it. :lol: Prolly have taken my foot of the peddle a little when it came to making dubstep. But yeah I don't really mind if people aren't feel my tunes etc. I totally appreciate both negative and positive comments .... as long as people just comment! I'm not gonna rip into someone if they don't like my tune or hold it against them. :lol:

Oh you know all sorts of vsts. Various drum machine samples etc. I like the old digital drum machines such as the Akai XR16 etc. Even though I absolutely love dark dubstep I think its overplayed and that's why I'm trying different styles/emotions. I've listened to dark/evil dubstep for so long that I just wanna throw some different colours into the frey. That said I've got loads of incredibly dark tunes that I've been working on but haven't uploaded any yet.
