Story Of Us MELODIC DUBSTEP - MaurStylin

Description : Melodic Dubstep...honestly, I'm really looking for opinions. I feel like its one of those songs that I've learned to like only because I've had to listen to it like 3,000 times while I was working on it. PLEASE, if you are into the genre, PLEASEEEE give me feedback. I don't know if I should keep this song or trash it.

If you have time take a listen and give MaurStylin some feedback.

Hey boss. Definitely don't trash this, it's got a great chord progression and beautifully produced synths.

As ValveDriver says, it does clip a lot. I'm sure once you give this a better mix and a nice, professional master, it'll be ready enough to release! It's really lacking on the low end, which is pretty much a necessity for dubstep. Kick up the low end and cut out some highs and this track will be good to go!

Good work man! Hope to hear more from you soon. Check out my page when you can!

Best,

Thanks man I appreciate the feedback a lot! :] I have another chillstep/melodic dubstep track I haven't released yet, (mainly because I was expecting vocals which never came through), sooo I guess I might as well post it and see if you guys think my mixing/mastering is better in that one!

And for sure dude, I'll check our your work! :]

Yeah. You may want to think about investing in licensed software. It generally doesn't come with the glitches that cause your projects to crash, or make things more difficult than they need to be. Oh, and the lawsuit stuff. It doesn't come with the threat of lawsuits, either. All that, plus, it's not looked too highly upon around here.

I'll swing by later to give a more indepth review. I use FL studios, too. So, I should be able to get pretty detailed.

Again, Take care.

Keep it. Just spend a little more time with it. It's not a bad track at all. It just needs a little more attention.

There's a lot of clipping in it. Which means it's too loud. I know loud is good in Dubstep, but too loud is not. I'm assuming you have your instruments, drums and synths assigned to their own mixer tracks. If not, do. From there you can adjust and balance out your levels. pay close attention to which frequencies are the loudest in each instrument. For example, if your kick drum and your sub bass are both peaking in the 30-50hz range, cut that range a little in your kick, You'll still get the kick drum pop, but it won't be competing with the sub bass. Ya know what I mean?

Also, from your mixer, you'll be able to play with the panning. Because, as it is now, everything sounds like it's just piled up in the center. Not only will individual panning and stereo separation give you some sweet dynamic movement, and fluidity, but it will create a more spacious mix. But most importantly, it will clear up some of the overlapping frequencies that contribute to a lot to that clipping.

I'm not going to go too far into detail on the specifics, because I don't know what kind of set up you're using, or if you'll even reply to this with anything more than, "Thanks bro. Laterz!" But, if you seem genuinely interested I'll add more.

Take care.

Ahhhhhh thats what I forgot! Panning. You're right, my sounds are all kind of piling up on each other, and I'll try and fix the peaking problems best I can, mixing and mastering is a concept I haven't quite grasped yet xD lol, but I do know my track levels are peaking, trust me. The only thing that really sounds gross to me is the risers in the build up. Every time I listen to that it makes my face cringe. I should have lowered the initial "in" volume output. My goal was to have it drown out the main synth, but not until the end. And I work with FL studio, so everything is on a separate mixer, but everything I use (all my software, plugins etc.) are all torrented lol shhh don't tell on me xD. But my main software is all messed up so if it errors out, like it did for this project (about 3 minutes into the song), it erases the project. I've been getting away with exporting mp3 stems for precautions but when I'm working with like 40+ different sounds all going on in one song, cmon whos really going to want to take the time to export all of that individually? hahaha I really need to buy the real thing. It doesn't error out too often, but when it does it's really frustrating :\ I'm just concerned about all the unlicensed plugins I'd lose if I do. But anyway, you're absolutely right, I need to improve my track cleanliness and fluidity. Thank you so much for the advice! I'll focus on that for my future tracks. I feel like that is whats going to take my producing skills to the next level! I'll send you a message on my next track post so that if you have the time, you can tell me if I've cleaned up my sounds a bit better. If you've got any other advice to give me, fire away man. I'm all ears! I can use anything I can get.

Much appreciated! :]

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
