The atmospheric intro is great and the transitions in the build-up are on point props, on the vocal samples too, I like the snare a lot, by the way did disciple drop a stem on this?
They released a massive pack of stems for the competition a little over a month ago (or two months? I lose track of time easily). I think it had the stems for like 10 different tracks by various artists on the roster. Unfortunately if you're interested the competition ended earlier today, but they might still have the stems up for DL if you look around a bit.
feeling kick and percs straight out the gate. Great sounds, washes, drops, like everything. Didn't know about reference track as element in trance genre - that's helpful. However I'm always thinking about how to keep them hooked in the club. Seems the dancing stops for a while. Could keep some rhythmic element driving things, like a hat or something. I think trance track by definition needs more time and I think track length is fine. Congrats on awesome work. Dan
If you'd like, we can mix the track for you for free. We see plenty of potential in this and it would be a real shame if a track this good went to waste.= because of a "bad mix".
I'd say some slight mixing fixes and you can get this played by Armada records! Amazing melodies... and such an aggressive bassline. Love it love it LOVE IT!!!
Armada yeah, that would be a dream. Or at least Who's Afraid of 138? maybe.
Mixing definitely needs work yes. My problem for this track was that I did a mix down, went into mastering with a reference track but then found that I wanted/had to make huge mixing changes. And that happened several times. Oh well, its all a learning experience; each track should get better and better.
Ha, yeah, going from my recent projects to this really highlights the highs. And now I got a subwoofer so it sounds even worse (although that could just be my bad adjustment said subwoofer).
Yeah, most likely too compressed. I'm still in the habit of trying to master for loudness, although not quite as badly as I used to. Still cramming it through a compressor before brick-walling it; I'd imagine I could ease up on the compression and use a normal limiter instead if I work on it a bit.
I'm usually harsher on my reviews in this genre.. Let's see... It's not generic.. Well mixed... Vocals work.. Nice sidechaining effect.. It's good, I'm just not feeling it, I think I just have a whole other vision of the genre... Nice switch towards the end but it was anticipated.. 6/10 from a guy who usually give 1/10 to the genre..
Harsh reviews are what make us better, so really you can pick away at whatever you like. I'm not gonna pretend I'm that good, as I've only been doing this for a year and a bit, so criticism really helps (provided people actually state what's wrong, of course).
man im not much of a dubstep fan, but lately i have been seeing very talented guys posting there music in here and you are definitely one of them! this is very well done and cheer to the vocalist!! ;D
Interesting style of dubstep in this track! I've been mostly avoiding dubstep lately, but it seems that some people are innovating a bit finally, such as yourself. Really, if it weren't for the half time beats, and the wobbles, I wouldn't have called it dubstep at all without your direction. It's a cool dance track to my ears, with some cool synth work. I wish it were more dynamic (less compression/gain), but I can appreciate the work that went into it as it stands. Pretty cool, and appropriate vocals which you found as well. Enjoyed listening!
Yeah, dynamics and over-compression are some things I have issues with, and retrospectively I can think of about ten different tweaks I would've done regarding the 'master' compressor and the gain, not to mention the EQ.
Regarding the style, its more or less my interpretation of the 'Dubstep' I grew up to (despite "growing up" being only four or five years back). I enjoyed some of the screechy-growly stuff that people put out, but I was always really impressed with the more 'melodic' side of dubstep. If you're interested, the track "Blue" by Gemini is one of the key tracks I keep in mind; the side-chained pads on the beat, a great chord progression and just a little of that gritty bass to keep it dubstep.
Whew, ramble over. And once again, thanks for the review!
i'm here after a long time and it seems many talented ppl have been showing up...anyways a great track i started my morn off with...of course the best part is 3:18 thanks for the track TJ
The original acapella was under the 'Trap' section, so I felt that it would probably best suit a trap-style sound. But I've never really listened to trap, hence the Dubstep.
The comp itself actually finished at the end of June, I just haven't removed the featured tag from this yet... derp. Unfortunately I didn't win (one of the winners did say he like my track though :3), but hey, I can only get better from here, right? I'll just have to keep working on my production.
Love this. The build up, the drop, the basses are amazing. Damn near perfect if I do say so. Those arps man at like 2:50 are great! Definitely gonna download this. I look forward to listening to more from you.
