Description : Just a little something I composed the other day, got nothing for, then deleted a few of the synth patterns out of it.

Track 1- Drums (they're all attatched to FL studios FPC)
Track 2- Pad
Track 3- Arp
Track 4- Wobble bass

Its one of my better dubstep tracks, the buildups lacking a bit, but after the challenge I may go on to improve this.

Nice song, good job on making it with only 4 tracks! The bass is great and i like all the dive bomb sounds, but the wobbles seem a tad offbeat at points. Its not too bad though. Like others have said i like how you've fused trance into there a bit as well. All in all great job!

Sorry for the late reply. Glad you liked the track. I'm trying to fix the wobbles: the problem is that they're slightly unquantised by a fraction of a step, and it starts to delay after a while. I'll try and fix that soon though.

To be truthful, I'm still not convinced that me doing dubstep- even as an occasional thing.

I'm glad that the community seems to be taking this track fairly well though.

I'll take a look at your entry now :D

Really good song man! I haven't heard such minimal dubstep before, but I really like it! Your wobbles are awesome and very creative! Nice trancey synths! Well done! Faved for sure!

Ahh Man! You totally gotta keep this 4-track mentality!

Personally, and I know you would second the concession, but I would love some bounce-downs and more reiterations all around so you get that beefier sound for this.

But yea.. Dubstep down to 4 tracks? Yup. This is great. I mean, All of the so far added "caveman" tracks definitely have been heartfelt kinda acoustic pieces (I still need to check them all out), but PERSONALLY, I really really enjoyed this one, and I may say it's my favorite so far.

Just because you did this with only 4 tracks lol.
Now imagine 16.
Nice track!
Lemmeee know if you continue further!

16 tracks.. :D
I'm just thinking of all the random FX I could put in there.

Will definatly try to get something with this one.

Thanks for the review and favourite!

I actually tend to use 8 tracks or less, even with the options now at hand simply because I like to do it live, and unlike Shiva or Vishnu, I've only got two hands.

But listening to this attempt, I'm left with the sense that the minimal approach is a good one. I really love how you've fused Trance and Dubstep here, and upon listening I'm sure that this is something that's up and coming. Good on you, you young pioneer! I really encourage you to go back and extend this one when you're ready - it's most certainly good enough to have a satisfying length before calling it "done."

Definatly not finished yet, and definatly working on it. I've already got plans make a larger build up, so that the drop is more effective. Originally, I had a gate on the master channel, but I wasn't sure if that counted as a track, so I left it out.

Thanks for the review!

Interesting track and pretty decent for only 4 tracks. I wished it were longer as well but it sounds great what you got!

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it, especially considering the 4 tracks thing. I'm not used to limiting myself to that amount, but I geuss it is a useful practical skill to have.

Thanks for the review!

Nice job Stephen, this is what I would call a minimalist approach to dub and I think it shows in this case, that less is more. Really nice and the mix is flawless. I've found that sometimes my most difficult mixes are the ones where I only have one of two tracks. My only complaint is I wish it were another 3 or 4 minutes in length :)

Well done.

I kinda struggle to make long things using only a small amount of sounds.. like, I get inspired to create a melody around a specific sound, and I find it so much harder to get that melody without that sound. Its strange, it's like the sound has to fit with the others or I can't make it. Thats partially why I'm fairly proud of this track, because the bass just contrasts with everything else.

I geuss with less sounds you get to focus on more things. Less choice means you can keep your ears on specific things, being able to detect the good and bad points just like that. Maybe thats why its so difficult for many people to do acoustic stuff.

Anyways, thanks for dropping by, I'll check out your one tommorow when I have acess to my speakers (its 11pm, don't wanna wake anyone up, lol)

Out now on Spotify/Apple Music/Amazon Music: @biggiecheeseincorporated

My first full song (10+ hrs of work) I've made in years.
I blended in a lot of Splice samples but the idea is completely original.

I know it isn't everyone's favorite genre of music but it's definitely mine

Any feedback is much appreciated

If the Site Director or whatever is willing to approve me uploading loops, then I will see about uploading the Bass Drop by itself for you to be creative with. Thank you for listening!

Description : This is my new single! It's a little different style than I'd normally go for (deeper and darker), but I really liked the instrumental, which is my HakaN96, and just HAD to do something.

Let me know what you think of it! My mixing/mastering skills arent the best. I put the song under the Dubstep genre (because of the instrumental) but with all the singing i'm not sure if it's more popish or not. What do you think?

If you enjoyed the song please like my Facebook page! I would love to hear from you!

Description : Hello hello! School is finally over so I'll be posting much more now :P Thanks everyone for the loops! I used a bunch of them to which I added some synth, congas and little fillers to make the track build up nicely. Hope you enjoy! ;D
Also if any rappers wanna add a verse somewhere feel free to do it and send me the results! Just put (featuring Charlie Rose) in the title of the song if you wanna publish it.
Happy 420!

Description : whew...its been a long time. Think last upload here was almost 3 years ago, since then, alot has changed. But I wanted to come back to my old stomping grounds to share what im up to! Veterans of the site will remember when I was Emolyte, uploading rap, cinematic stuff and metalcore tracks. Ive learned alot over the years, and with that comes a genre change and new name. Im an EDM producer/DJ now, and I've got an absolute heater I released a few months ago, hope you enjoy! Arf Arf!
