originality is a really loose term, so dont worry. just going down the list of dubstep, this really stands out for its mood. most dubstep has a dark tone, this one is upbeat and pretty fun to listen to. it is true that the wobble is a rather standard one, but getting an interesting wobble bassline is always a big problem when it comes to dubstep.

i might seem crazy saying this, but maybe you should turn the wobble down a little. i think chud was trying to say that the lead synth makes this peice (if you know what i mean) so we want to hear more of it

overall good stuff going here

ive noticed that some people on looperman can be a bit [what i hope is unintentionally] CeeUNextTuesdayYeah: especially hard on those just starting out in what they consider their genre of expertise, for lack of a better term. there are many different types/variations of dubstep; it is a quickly expanding genre. i heard the first version of this track, and i think you are progressing leaps and bounds. not all dubstep synth has to be groundbreaking. if thie levels are tight and the arrangement is solid, i dont see whats wong with a more simple synth. but again, ALL comments received are opinions based on personal preference.
keep it up. youve got the skills...

Wicked, thanks for those words of encouragement, it's nice to hear impartial advice and views as well as criticism. But i'm happy with either as it means people are taking the time to listen to my stuff :^) Safe, Abel

Lol!

I find this quite funny actually, its almost a piss take of dubstep, at least, i dunno, the lead synth just makes me laugh abit. (Not in a derogatory way). But yes the drums are good you have a lot of stuff going on in the background and I think the answer to your question is Yes it is dubstep, but I would either go all the way with the lead synth (and dont ask me what i mean by that because i dont know) or scrap it and work on a more interesting bassline, because the one you have here really doesnt do anything for me and its just a typical very easy boring synth that you hear on nearly everyone's first dubstep track. Dont worry, i make exactly the same too, you can go back and check, they are still on looperman :P

But your drums are very good. It suggest's to me that you've been playing around with music for a while? Theres some really good sounds in there that take practice to get done right and so I think once you get some decent synths down your then able to put your drums behind them and you'll be well on your way. :)

Ha ha! I get that feeling to! I couldn't really get a vibe from this piece apart from the drums and fx :) Yeah i've been making music for quite a while now but have pretty much ignored the dubstep genre, i've probably only listened to half a dozen dubstep tracks in my life!! so my knowledge of the style is quite basic :^) hence the soppy attempt at a bassline lol! I mostly make breaks/drum&bass and chill out with a few attempts at house/techno, I guess I need to have a proper listen to some dubstep to get the drift!! Do you have any recomendations ? I will of course check out a few more of your tunes and review, d'you wanna return the favour?? I appreciate your honesty :^)

yo stop man ya need to make ya own beat to be original!!!!! thats beat is of a drumz sample pack i have hre. nice noizes and that but are they yours. sorry for being so straight forward but to be original for me you have to make a tune from scratch not put some one elses beat through a gross beat machine. start a fresh man. with your own stuff.

much love Senciman....

carry on, sir...carry on!
this is a cool dubstep electro mix. love your synth work on this. mad solid drums as well. youve got a playful lil wobble in teh background. i would only suggest letting it come forward a bit more, shine as the star of the piece at times. this is a great start to what could be a really cool piece.
nice work!

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.
