Haha like I said, I am looking for someone to finish this with so it is going to take some time till someone does a serious take on this probably but eventually it will get finished ;)
Actually I am describing it wrong above, obviously I mean to do a colab with to finish it and not to just let someone else do everything and take credit for a silly intro hahaha
Really nice intro, love the lick and the filtered in drums. The vocal sample is a nice little touch as well. It's difficult to guage the tune from that little snippet but it's sounding good so far.
FR
It's got really upbeat vibes. The sound choice is half and half with me, it's solid. The main gripe I have with this one is the lack of a crucial dnb element. The drums, and the bass too but I like to hear the drums fleshed out more. It needs more of a roll to it as well, try looking for some amen breaks. Or any dnb breaks and chop em up a bit. Just my honest critique, otherwise a good first attempt. But needs work. Just come back to it over time, peace
Yeah I feel what you mean, I think to create a more dnb feel I really should work on the drums but I am trying to get a hang of how to do that, I really find the drums of dnb intriguing but also hard to make. Of course I could just chop up a loop or such but eventually I want to be able to do it myself haha
Thanks for the kind words further and I am glad you liked it ;)
Again trancy dubstep from you! I agree that drums should be 'punchier'... That reso-acid-lead arounds 1:15 gives additional power to this song. Very cool stuff!
Haha I flat out ruined the mix in this one, if I payed a little attention back then I probably would have turned the master down a notch and got to mixing in that kick better by sidechaining it or mixing the overall sounds better
But I appreciate your kind words for this though ;)
Big Groove, Big mix, Big everything a speaker buster, cats rolling
down the streets busting windows and stuff...
Maaaaad... Production with an aggressive mix, guess you've made
your point.. :-)
....Well done...
Werent too keen on the first drop it's good it's just it sounds a bit off in some places, the second drop was awesome that's exactly the kind of muusic I like raw and gnarly basslines, I would work on the first drop but it's still an awesome track :)
The sounds in this need replacing with better ones but there's some really huge potential in this track and some of the synth melodies are really excellent imo. Don't let this one go if you've moved on to other tracks, come back at some point and remake it, it's well worth it and could be a far better sounding track.
The bit at 135 and the surrounding melodies really make it, great hook melodies.
I might consider doing another track with better sounds but for now I am kinda getting played out with the dubstep genre so could take some time before you see any track of me that has to do with dubstep intentionally haha
Anyways want to thank you for your comment, thought these sounds were pretty good but if you say they can be better I will try to make/get some better ones ;)
Sorry for the late reply, busy with some other stuff lately ;d
When I first started getting into dubstep, I also listened to Datsik, Excision, Noisia, and Dubba Johnny. They had a good thing going. When Skrillex exploded, I thought his drops were frickin' awesome, but the song formulas were all exactly the same. Granted, most songs are the same formula. That's why they work. But in his case it was all exactly the same. That's the main reason I quit listening. But, as far as his contribution to the genre...totally game changing, and you gotta respect that!
I'll have to check out his new one. I'm curious to see how he's grown as an artist.
As far as my tracks go, sloooow movin'! I don't always have much time to work on them. And I have about 4 in the process that I jump back and forth on. I just put up a new one. It's a bit different.
Spivkurl nailed it in his review. I'll add that the dubstep genre is plagued by over-arrangement and spastic everything with slammed speaker-ripping mixes. You've taken the sounds and vibe and put some real intelligence and class behind it. Very good dubstep, mixed well. Keep it up man!
-Slimm
A big thank you Slimm for your review too ;)
Like I said before I wasn't expecting many people to enjoy the experimenting, but seemingly it works out correctly ;)
thanks Destero for leaving a comment ;D
I am glad you enjoyed it ;)
The music changes a few times in style/feeling but I am glad that most people enjoy the whole track
I checked the button bass link to see what was up. The cube is an environment that models a midi interface, that doesn't interest me very much, bc real world midi interfaces are both cheap and excellent these days(not the lemur, grrr). To me a sample pack is like a puzzle, and if you put it together "too correctly" it looks a lot like the picture on the cover of the box. This mix represents one available picture, a composition, the cube represents many pictures, it's a device, like a sliding puzzle. The cube is not a song.
Your arrangement here is very good, and in my opinion remixing content you don't create is helpful in isolating the arranging process and improving your song structure skills. In the end it's not how cool the sounds are, but how the arrangement guides the listener's attention to the sounds and the message.
Did I just lecture like an ass?!
My bad. Nice track bro! Good arrangements. :D
Well looking back in the comments, I now view things differently, making a song out of loops isn't necessarily wrong. It surely isn't unique but now my view changed that doing so makes up for a interesting change in what I normally produce. what makes making music fun is that it brings joy to people.
I think your comment is very well thought out, and describes the idea of the cube indeed in detail.
But I am happy you enjoyed this track nevertheless ;)
I had to start somewhere didn't I? hahaha
This is my first time listening to this, its really great. Definitely downloaded. This has all the elements ha. Very talented, and loved it, thank you!
Nice!
It starts big. That's the way it should be. I like the way you go straight into that liquid bass instead of some cheesy-ass chorus pad.
Normally I'm not a fan of Veela's vocals, (I think that's who that is), but this was good use. You kept them as accent, not the star of the show.
Yeah, this darker dubstep is good. When I was listening to dubstep, this was what I would look for. Unfortunately, too many people jumped on the Skrillex bandwagon and it got cheesy. I applaud you for keeping this side alive. Keep it up, man. You're definitely good at what you do.
Hahahaha "cheesy-ass chorus pad" made me laugh so bad
Anyways I don't know if these are Veela's vocals (they didn't came in a pack called "veela vocal pack" or whatever) but they might be from the same singer.
But I am happy you liked the way they were put in ;)
Haha this was the dubstep I started of with listening, excision, datsik and others had these dark songs and I loved them ;)
But on the other side I feel like the skrillex bandwagon wasn't a wrong thing but it became so repetitive that it is pretty hard to come up with a unique sound, then again the new album of skrillex titled "recess" is of a whole different caliber and it is good to see that artists move beyond there previous songs instead of producing the same every time.
I am rambling too much now haha
A big thank you ValVedriVer ;)
Great appreciations for the comment
A dark hard trip with funny moments in between. nice sounds all around. sometimes i got a bit lost in this dark waves and in the next moment i had a smile on my face about the amiga sound. cool mix. great work. a trip with a nice ending :)
Let me start by saying that you are definitely amongst my top favorites as far as dubstep goes, and a song like this totally shows why! The complexity that it demonstrates is fabulous, but at the same time the track feels pretty open, like things aren't competing for space. Yes, it's very dark! Puts me in mind of some goth music except it's up to date and computerized. Nothing wrong with that! Potent track you did here! Fave!
Well I definitely took a leap in how I produce things nowadays so I am really happy I see people supporting me, means I am going the right way haha.
Also I was surprised because I literally had it on looperman for like a few hours and already had 6 people commenting on it, that's immense in some way.
I like the synths a lot. :) The drums aren't anchored though, like harderthan said. But I think setting up treatments for kick and snare would seal it. Hip Hop usually uses up tons of headroom on the kick and snares. With pulse wave synths you might have to set up sidchain and ducking to make the mix bounce bc that type of synth also eats up headroom. In short, tricky sounds to mix and master without tons of automation. All of your tracks that I listened to have something good going on, this one too. Nice work.
-Slimm
Haha well this was back in the day when I had no idea how automation, sidechaining, mastering and so on worked
Probably would have done this track in a totally different way if I had to redo it ;p
But I am glad people enjoyed it, thanks for leaving a comment slimm ;)
The female vocal track is great, wonderful voice and works well with the music. The music is stellar, pretty cool dubstep track. The bass rips and there is so many cool sounds and effects that pop up and keep the song so interesting to listen to. Definitely liked the ending. Dubstep isn't my usual listening genre but this really is a trip!
Yeah agree with the vocals ;) Loved them so had to put them in somewhere haha
Also this one is indeed crammed with fx, rises etc but I think it is part of keeping the whole thing interesting and I am glad I got that feeling over to more people.
Thanks for giving this a listen and a comment wayne ;)
i'm the same. sometimes have to take a time out from the social media to focus deeply and create somethin' good. You have done that here in spades and big congrats. great synthwork at the beginning and throughout, and drops are all rave-worthy! cheeers!
Wow this must be the most commented on track ever. It took me about half an hour to scroll down. Digging that vocal and the piano intro. This is truly brilliant mate. The mix is silky smooth, the synths are fat and the beat stomps. What more do you need in a track.
Fav and download without a doubt.
