This has a good sound to it! I like the pads you used, they could maybe come up in the mix a little. That vocal break around 2:36 was cool! I'd agree with the tips that GlobalSunrise gave you. Not much else to say, but I like this tune!

yea i was in two minds about the break at first, but its grown on me, thanks again for the review, i think i agree with the pads part, could be used to make the track a little more varied, glad you like it though

Hey sorry for long response on your email .
This does have a better kick .
The bass still doesn't feel like a real bass . You should change the oscillators pitch to -12 or adjust them some way . I noticed few build ups that's good :) . Now you need to add some more things to make it more interesting . It follows same things all the time . Could use some extra lead or anything to give it more energy . :)

Good work

Is it me or does some of the sounds seem to be clipping.

I am used to a bit deeper bass myself.

seems most of the song stays the same so its nothing keeping me from cutting it off after 1 minute or so.

Yeah you can fine tune this and make it something special.

Yes imagine a song 4mintues in a row with no drops or anything . You cant get to half because it will get boring .

I can help you out at some points if your interested .

Hey I saw your thread and decided to give your track a listen. Its pretty good for your first dubstep track. The drop was kinda weak so I would advice using either a white noise build up (I think you're using FL, so try using the 3x osc to get a good white noise), or build up with the kicks or snare steadily speeding them up, or lastly use like a synth strings to build up in volume. Also the track needs work on the mastering, although this is usually pretty tough for anyone to get a great mastering it just takes time and practice to get better. Keep at it and I'll be looking out for your second track!

EDIT: Oh also I forgot to mention you should check out youtube for some good vocals, for example I used a quote from the movie Reefer Madness that I got from youtube in one of my tracks. Its just a good way to make your tracks sound better (personally I'm not a big fan of the FL vocal synth). Just try to find some quotes or acapellas.

Welcome to looperman :)

So here we go
I think you need to EQ , Compress the kick . It feels like a Fruity Usual Kick . It could use a tail to make it sound better .
Your kick is killing other sounds . The bass isn't deep enough , I mean it doesn't have that woofer feel ( sry english isn't the best ) . Volumes needs adjusting .
Feels boring as it does need to bring some effects , buildups etc ...
But in the other hands vocal is done good . Fits into the song .

I like the vocal clips! Very creative for your first try! I agree it could use more bass, but the bass you did include sounds good! Nice work!

CalMatSar replied Unknown
many thanks, i have been having a quick play with it, tried to 'dirty' up the bass abit, give it a bit more punch, although ive not actually added bass, take a listen, see if it helps

Its quite Good, But it needs more basses in it and they have to be louder (Unless you're going for a different effect)

Thanks for reviewing, and cheers for the feedback, ill see what i can do for ramping up the bass a bit for my second attempt.
