Hey man this is gold right here! Love It! Mixed well. Lots of sounds but there's "space" around all of them with no muddiness or jumbling of sounds. You did it right here! Keep Doin' It!

Badass! When i listened to this song, i couldnt wait for the next part. Especially with the breaks!

Thanks! I remember back when I made this track I was working on building suspense and tension, so it's good to hear I succeeded!

Yea I have focused on sound design pretty much all the way up to now and I'm very satisfied with the quality of my sounds, it's just the mixing that gets me apart.

So anyway yea on my next track I'm going to make everything but the drums quieter and sidechain the sub. I already keep my kick and snare at -8 dB so I'll just lower everything else. I thought everything was at a good volume but okay.

I wouldn't cut the kick in that way. Because the sub wont just be at 50hz. [Depending on what notes you are using. F to A are nice and bassy. But i would defiantly do sidechain like you said dude! Sidechaining is a necessity in my productions, even if its a small amount. I do it to my bussed synths too.

Thats kool man.. do you use any other form of networking? Soundcloud? Facebook?
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
I did have a facebook, but that never really caught on. I have a soundcloud though,

http://soundcloud.com/o-a-e

Do you have one? I would like to follow you!

And okay, I will definitely try sidechaining rather then cutting everything around 50 hz from the sub. Thanks so much!

Well id be careful with the sub. The sub takes up so much of the headroom of the track. If you push it too far, there wont be enough room for the rest of the stuff. I say more importantly get the sub hitting the right frequencies.. thats important more so than the level. Use an analyser to make sure its at around 50 hz. & thats fine man, honestly. If you/anyone who reads this and needs any help, just pm me or whatever, and il try my best to help! :).
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
Oooooh I get it, I was once told to cut a very small bandwidth at 50 hz to make room for the kick.

What if I used sidechain compression on the sub, so when the kick hits the sub ducks slightly to make room for the kick's low frequencies?

And thanks, it's a big help! I still feel new to this production stuff, even though I'm closing in on a year.

I really like this one! The combination of the old school synths and the wobbles is really cool! Chiptunes are fun, and this is the first time I've heard them fused effectively with dubstep! Nice work!
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
Thanks! I've heard some other chiptune influenced dub before, but decided to make some the way I thought it should sound. Chiptunes are most definitely fun! Where is my gameboy color?

Id say the idea/structure is there. With the sound fx and the epic build up. Kick/Snare should arguably be the focal point. They get a bit lost, try turning others things down so it appears louder, or turn them up. Just get the drums peaking around -10Db. That will set the level. Then work the rest around them. You should try a better sub too. What are you using to mixdown on?
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
I mix on cheap hi fi headphones. :(

Okay so I need to make the drums louder. I assume you are talking about the ones in the drop, or just in general? I used to drum sets, an old school white noise set then my other drum set I normally use. I think I'll render the drums as loops then, so I can better balance them.

Okay so I will also make the sub louder. I only use the sub every so often as a rhythmic element, I usually keep it at -10 dB, I'll go a little louder next time.

Thanks for the help, I really, really appreciate it! :D

on My Second Dubstep song by Skyhunter
Great job on this song dude. I just recently started using FL Studio within the last few months with no prior experience and this song is waaaaay more advanced than I will probably get within the next year or two lol, but I definitely love the transitions between the different genres. Great mix and overall feel. I also liked that it never felt drug out at any point like alot of songs tend to do.

Keep up the great work, can't wait for more.
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
Hey Nutra! I've only been using FL for 8 months now, you'll pick it up easy if you keep getting help from around here.

As far as not drawing it out, I'd rather have a short amazing song then a long boring one. :)

I liked the bass aswell. Fitted it quite well and reminded me a lot of skrillex with the alteration between dance and filth but unlike skrillex songs i liked it. :P Nice one mate.

on My Second Dubstep song by Skyhunter
don't see what's wrong with your bass sounds, perhaps they need some eqing (i'm not good at this either ^^), but definitly not bad. I wish I would manage to create such a filthy bass, like in your dubstep parts =)
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
I think the reason my bass sounds don't sound good are the synths I'm using, they don't have phase modulation or pulse width options, which I like.

Anyway, thanks for the review! :)

on My First Dubstep Song by Skyhunter
This, my good sir, was easily the greatest song I've heard on the loop today, and in the past few days. And I've heard and reviewed oh let's say...25 or so in the past few days. lol.

Overall a purely excellent track, there's so many good things about it. Definately very haunting sound overall, a very death metal-ish take on dubstep (my favorite kind of dubstep.)

You implemented Fayz vocal amazingly, as well as those background sounds that came on periodically, almost sounded like screaming and funfire. Loved that. The wobbles were fantastic too, very good job.

Fav'd for sure. Keep up the great work man! -Gabe

Peace Love Jesus!

Skyhunter replied Unknown
Hey CrashTheSystem,

First off gotta say that I love your stuff! It's on my ipod and I jam to it with my guitar sometimes!

Anyway, recently I've been getting into Death Metal and other associated subgenres, especially the melodic stuff. This meant that when I heard Fayz vocal I absolutely had to use it haha.

Anyway, glad to hear the song came out good, I hardly ever listen to dubstep, so it was pretty much a guess on what to put in there.

Cheers!!!

Hey 3n0!

Yea I was going for the old Dre laid back sound.

I'm brand new to this hip hop thing, hope to continue in the future!

Like the track!. Like the progression of the bass. All sounds fit together well including the nice lead synths. Sounds like you were out of your comfort zone though, and didn't use all the skills that I've heard in your other tracks. Sounded a little simple for YOUR style. ( I like to compare people's tracks with their potential shown through their other tracks). Otherwise a nice laid back track with the Dre chords. This is a very well mixed head bobber. Keep Doin It!

Thanks for the feedback DJJPA!

It is a little simple compared to what I usually make... I should adapt it to my style in the future is what I get.

Hey BTW, I have your music on my ipod! I show my friends your music and they love it too!

Cheers!

I like the synths and the breaks. Really driving thing here. Are you providing a better quality download? ;-)

Hey Nequissimus,

There is a higher quality download on my Soundcloud page. It's only 16 bit .wav, but that should do the trick. ;P

I'd have to second JPA1980's review 100%. Personally I've been sick to the back teeth of the whole electro house thing recently, but this has more ideas and progressions in than five average electro house tunes rolled together. Could maybe do with a fatter bassline just after the trancey bit, then again that could well be my speakers. Top effort.
Skyhunter
Skyhunter replied Unknown
Thanks Finn69,

I feel that more producers emulate successful producers, instead of trying to find their own sound. While I'm far from there, I at least try to find my own niche.

I've been getting a lot of comments on the bass in my tracks, I'll definitely have to experiment with my mixing. I usually boost highs and cut mids, so I'll have to touch the bass some I think.

Cheers!

Really nice synth leads! Kind of thing that really gets stuck in your head. Good variations on the leads. "Holds you" throughout the whole development. Really hot breaks. House can sometimes be monotonous but here that is definitely NOT the case. Nice Track. Keep Doin It!

Thanks JPA1980,

I really tried to make a catchy build up on this one, and glad you like the break downs!

I like the variations in this song. You go from really amped to chilled out and then you build it back up. Great synth work I like the trancey lead synth. This another great sounding track. You've definitely got talent for making music. Keep up the good work!

Hey thanks Töddj.

I love doing a house style break down, where everything cools out, then blows back up again. I always add my own twists though. ^_^

Glad to know you you enjoyed it, I love your stuff to! Cheers!
