This acapella is much used on looperman, I noticed it, and I just heard another great use. You mixed it very well. Honestly, I was expecting pure electro drop, but still was positive surprised when heard some dubstep there. This is very good work, keep it up!
Man something really strange about this track? BUT totally loving it in a good way, cant put my finger on what stands out for me to say it is strange, I think that is what is making me really enjoy listening to this one, it is so different from what I have heard today doing reviews, impressive work, not many tracks here that have this sound, I think Pop maybe better genre choice but does seem to have a couple of genre's going on...MASSIVE FAV...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Probably because the acapella is just slightly out of key with the song. I think pop is definitely a better choice and ill change the genre, that def suits this a little better. Thanks for commenting.
Well..that was a unfit title for this track because I wasn't enlightened at all. No kidding, I'm just messing with you. Anyways, digging the approach with this one. The synths put you in a trance and has a great bounce to it. The part at 1:28 stands out, like how it does that later on too. Pretty nice fusion of genres, great work. Keep up the productions bro. peace
I really enjoyed this one. I like the combination of orchestra and dubstep you added to the track, works nicely. I The drop was pretty good too. Good stuff here man, thanks for the listen :)!
Definitely love the darker aspect of it more than the "cheesy ass chipmunk bubblegum synth business" as valvedriver puts it haha. Flow is very nice, and overall great job!
Hey man. Good update. The levels on the different synths in the drop match each other much better than before. They definitely flow into each other quite a bit more smoothly, and you can hear all of them. And it really is a pretty cool drop. Now, just bring them all down to where they match the levels of the rest of the song, and you should be golden!
The melodies are really crafted well.Loved the different soft synths used.
The structure of the song is nice and variations keep coming up.
The drops are awesome and loved those sqare/harsh synths.LFO Rates are synced nicely.Awesome!
Its one of the hardest thing to modulate them in Dubstep genre.
About the drops and buildup they can be made more intense with percussive elements and different FX.Search them up.
Beats are nice but can be more punchier.Do add more percussion.
Mastering and Mixing is really nice.Liked it!
And you already got an awesome detailed feedback from ValVedriVer which pretty much explains everything.
This is pretty good. I like the fact that it starts out with a darker, heavier intro. Not that cheesy ass chipmunk bubblegum synth business. I also like the melodic nature. It actually has purpose. The drops are nicely pieced together, and the melodies between are actually melody driven. Good work.
There are only three things that stand out to me in regards to room for improvement.
1) The different synth levels in the drop. Some come across as much louder, or quieter than others, which kind of disrupt the smooth flow and give it a "pieced together" feel, taking away from the smooth flow. Pretty simple fix. Just a little tweaking in the mixer.
2)The drums get lost in the drop. During the rest of it, they're fine. I think if you take care of the levels from the first suggestion, this one would probably work itself out with very minimal work afterwards.
3) A lack of impacts on the initial drop start. Your builds are good, they lead up to the drop with the anticipation needed, but then kind of just stumble into the rest of it. If you added an impact, or some big hits right at the beginning of the drop, it would slam that badboy into your face! This, also, a very simple fix.
Aside from those simple technicalities... "Sick drops, bro!"
This is a good piece. With a little fine tuning, I think you can make it better.
But, this is just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth.
Good work, keep it up!
Take care.

Hey man thank you for honestly telling me what can be inproved. It really does help me a lot. Im going to work on the song later tonight and I may re-up the track after I make those little fixes. About the drops. For the life of me I can never get the very beginning of a drop to be in ur face. I think that is my biggest problem in producing this type of music. I dont know. I will definitely mess around with that because it is true , the build up is very powerful and then it just kind of like goes into a drop that doesnt start out powerful. Thanks again for the extensive comment !
This sounds really cool. Loving the atmosphere's at the beginning and the melody is superb. Nice lazer effects and swooshing noises followed by some splendid wubbyness.
Everything about this track is excellent. the ideas are good, the mix is nice and clean and the arrangement is wicked.
Now i'm just going to kick back and listen to the rest of it.
Top tune!!

Thanks for the positive comment freeradical I'm glad you enjoyed the listen and can't wait to hear some more of your tracks. Right now I'm taking my time writing another dubstep beat that is a little more intense and sounds a little bit more like an orthodox dubstep. I will probably put that out in 2 or 3 days.
Great dubstep track! I'm not a dubstep producer by any means but I would have to agree with D3RELICT & StylesBM that maybe adding a bit of bass would tie it together. Other than that I really like this track, the title "Serenity" certainly fits because that's how I feel when I listen to it!
I've noticed you're good at creating an atmosphere. :D Have you tried adding some sub bass to the drop. For this style of drop I think there needs to be a wall of bass under the talking bass; something to rattle the floorboards during the drop. The bass drone that you have there would be good but it just needs more in the 5Hz-20Hz-ish range Also, the plucks from 1:06 to about 1:23 are ever so slightly behind the beat. I don't know if this is just the instrument or if you intended it to be this way, but that sort of just-slightly-off squirrelyness just bugs the everliving F%#@ out of me when it happens in my own tracks. That's just my $.02. I hope this helps.
