Thanks for the review. Yeah I actually really like the amen so I think that's going to stay. I just need to work on a bit more eq on it. As far as the reese being too loud I'm not really sure which part you are talking about. The main reese is cut off at about 600 hz and isn't that loud. The sub bass was absolutely too loud and I turned that down a bunch. The only other part of the reese is the bandpassed high end which is hi cut at about 1000 hz and isn't really overpowering or taking up much head room. The thing that takes up the most head room at the end is the gated and verbed lead. Anyways, thanks for the listen.

Thanks for the review. Yeah the break is just the typical famous amen break that I chopped up and edited a bit to put into some of the interludes.

Yeah. I honestly started out at 170 ( cuz the very few DNB tracks I've made have been on the neurofunk side so I like it around 165-170 but with the samples it just sounded a bit fast for me. The sample by the way is "bright lights" by japan Sue.

just started it a couple of hours ago so I haven't had time to do much else other than make a couple of melodies. Thanks for the review.

Keep in mind I may know a bit more than you but I don't know crap and everybody does it differently anyhow. Here's what you need to do first. Subscribe to KVR and to dogs on acid. Both of these sites are loaded with great forums on things from mastering to mixing to sound design. Then download the vengeance club essentails pack, cuz this is second to none in the realm of drums. Also you should get "how to make a noise" which is second to none on the topic of sound synthesis (if you want I would be happy to email you the pdf version that I have) I personally use Fl studio and a bit of reason 5. I make most of my "wobbles" with massive although sometimes I make some in reason as well. I also use a ton of resampling and effects and almost NEVER use a sound on its own (except for my sub bass). I also spend a TON of time working on my tracks. I'm about a week deep into the most recent track I posted and still have a ton of work to do. Bear in mind a few things about dubstep. The most prominent part should be the kick and the snare; if you can't hear these 2 things clearly than you need to crank them up or turn everything else down. Next is the bass, particularly sub bass. For the most part, I just use straight sine waves with no effects, or low pass filtered square or saw waves to give it a little more character, but you'd be suprised how much power one little sine wave can give a track. Experiment with reverb and different filters and distortion and flange and chorus. then export that sample out and import it back in and add more effects (resampling). this is something that can make a weak synth turn into a monster. Also just take some time to just mess around with your synths. I have spent countless hours not even working on a song, just straight sound design. and talk to other people as many as you can cuz I know only a little and have been doing this for less than a year.

I dunno if you have massive, but actually other than the drums and some effects, I made this entirely in massive, from the pads to the sweeps to the leads to the wobbles. The main bass is just 2 slightly modulated than resampled chromium oscillators (massive) with some wave table and phase modulation. And the second part of the bass is a reese made in massive using some detuned saw waves, a bit of phase modulation, some sine shaping, tube distortion, and an envelope controlling the pitch (some other effects probably too- just kinda play around with stuff). And I cutoff all my wobbles around 175-200 hz and use FL studio's 3x osc for my sub bass.
