Description : This is my first ever, EVER dubstep track, hadn't even messed around with Dub until a mate asked me to make a dubstep remix of his track (NWA)
Kudos to my friend Matt who wrote a lovely classical piece and sent it to me to destroy. The Violin/Piano and Flute were all written by him, The Bass/Drums/Effects were all re-programed/added by me.
Bass Synth was programed by me, The Dubstep bass is a hard one to master, hope i did well.

Keep in mind this is my first ever Dub track =P
Enjoy!

I think that this came out really good for a first attempt... I did notice that the bass was a bit heavy and that was with my headphones on... I don't know I am no expert at this genre so what do I know... Lol sounds great though keep up the good work!

Well Jah will help you if you are willing to go forth into the darkest regions of your mixing desk. Helven, you are onto a nice theme w/ this tune, the flute, piano elements are supreme. The mix needs some serious work though. ALL bass freqs are torn to hell. Even at half volume in my good headphone it's so distorted that you loose nearly all elements of mid range and hi melody. You structure for patterns is a keeper, but if you wanna make this tune go big on ANY speaker system, let's work the mix some.

Here's gonna be my general tip. Draw all your levels way at least -5db! At least! especially the sub bass and kick drum. Make absolutely sure that all the channels are eq'd to isolate the specific freq. range you desire (cut out the mud) and you HAVE to have a compressor on the sub channel. It can have a long slow release, but be sure to side chain it thru the drum kick so that they don't collide w/ each other in the mix.

After all that, if you have about -6db headroom as it goes into the master channel, add an analog sturation type boost on the final master line. This hould get you close to clear sounding hits, while maintaining a bumpin' sound that can be cranked up real hot on the system amp.

This is awesome man, maybe could do with some remastering but it's no biggy. Loving the contrast between the ambient segments and the sheer brutality of the bass. looking foward to hearing your next dub track!

I could care less what dubstep is or not man, but I like good music, and you make good music man!

Don't forget that.

It's dope, very cool man.

Manipulate the bass like you want!

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
