on Story Of Us MELODIC DUBSTEP by MaurStylin

Hey boss. Definitely don't trash this, it's got a great chord progression and beautifully produced synths.

As ValveDriver says, it does clip a lot. I'm sure once you give this a better mix and a nice, professional master, it'll be ready enough to release! It's really lacking on the low end, which is pretty much a necessity for dubstep. Kick up the low end and cut out some highs and this track will be good to go!

Good work man! Hope to hear more from you soon. Check out my page when you can!

Best,

Thanks man I appreciate the feedback a lot! :] I have another chillstep/melodic dubstep track I haven't released yet, (mainly because I was expecting vocals which never came through), sooo I guess I might as well post it and see if you guys think my mixing/mastering is better in that one!

And for sure dude, I'll check our your work! :]

on Remixed Destiny by Markus Shulz Ft Delacey by Darklighter

Hey man! This remix is amazing! It's got a real future-bassy feel to it.

Your saw pads are flawless and the little "woo!" sample you put in there is great too! It's one of those sounds you're excited to hear the next time it comes around!

Keep up the good work and check out some of my stuff too! :)

on Days To Come -Skortix Remix- by SkortixDEATHSTEP2

Wow dude. Just wow.

Seven Lions is a huge inspiration of mine. My music may not necessarily sound like his, but the fact that music like his is actually achievable keeps my drive going.

You've done a wonderful job with this. Absolutely amazing, really. It actually sounds like it could have been produced by Seven Lions himself!!!!

Congrats on a flawless remix. Faved and downloaded my friend. Check out some of my stuff too if you don't mind!

on Intricacies of the Mind by EphyMusic

Hey there man! Absolutely wonderful track. Reminds me of Blackmill in many MANY aspects.

I honestly believe this is mastered pretty well. Especially for a beginner. It does focus on the midranges very heavily, but that's not always a bad thing. I've heard plenty of mixes that focused too hard on the low frequencies and ended up losing all of the touchiness of the highs and mids. This seems like it's a very good balance to me.

Other than that, I would just boost the gain a little in the master. This being because, although you did a splendid job mastering, it is still pretty quiet. The goal of mastering is not only to adjust the frequency bands but to make your mix as loud as possible without clipping as well.

Please let me know how you created the synth that starts at 1:22. I've been trying to figure it out for ages!

Fantastic job mate! Can't wait to hear your remix!

EphyMusic replied 21st Aug 2015 - 11 years ago

Well, let's see here. I'm not sure if you use FL but there is a plugin (an amazing one) called "Sytrus." I do a lot of repurposing and general tweaking with some of the presets.

If you can believe it, it's the same synth as the wobble that is present from beginning to end.

The preset I messed with was just simply called "Grand Piano," in Sytrus. I did a little bit of tweaking in OP 1, pulled the cut-off down to nearly 0, and did some pitch bending.

So far as the mastering and mixing, I've actually started to realize... I don't like this version. I'm going to go ahead and reupload the old one, I liked that one more.

Lol, we'll see about that remix, really depends on how my mind sets it up beforehand.

This part of the comment is for everyone, please, visit my soundcloud channel for more music of mine. I recently made a song but I couldn't get it to go on looperman what with the current filesize limit. If I brought it down to below 10Megs, I'm bringing the quality down to nearly nothing. It's a long song.

Please! Check it out! https://soundcloud.com/eff_el_official

on Start A New by Spudsy

Awesome job dude! Everything truly is all perfectly intertwined!

I absolutely adored the low cutoff/volume 80's clavi synth you put around 1:05 !!!

Keep up the good work! Hope to hear more from you soon!

P.S. I'd love to hear what you can do with my song 'Codera' !! Remix comp posted in the forums!

on SIDEPROJECT - Fallen --SikNoiz Remix-- by SikNoiz

Holy Hell mate....this is phenomenal!! I don't think I've ever liked a dubstep song as much as I like this one

The bass sound at the beginning reminds me a lot of SNAILS, whom I idolize. Also, the chorus parts in the second verse make this track so eerie and dubsteppy. Just AGH good FRICKIN JOB!!!

SikNoiz replied 10th Aug 2015 - 11 years ago

Wow! That means a lot to me, thanks!

I was trying to go for an altogether cinematic feeling, hence the chorus.

Thanks again, man!
Glad you liked it.

on Life is Ticking by Basser

This track is beautiful mate. Very uplifting and powerful. You've got a real Martin Garrix-y sound going here.

I love the implementation of that dreamy pluck synth. It reminds me a lot of a music box and reminds me of childhood. The title 'Life is Ticking' is absolutely perfect for this song because you can almost watch someone grow older as you're listening through it.

The outro is phenomenal. The synth you added in just brings the whole beauty of the song together.

Incredible job my friend. Keep up the good work and check out some of my stuff too!

Stay awesome!

on Oliver Heldens - Bunnydance - Syktryk Remix by Syktryk

Hey dude! This is pretty sick!

There's only one issue. The low end (subs, kicks, and even part of the synth) is ridiculously high and is overpowering the rest of the mix. It also sounds like the mix is clipping a lot because of it.

The structure of this song is pretty damn unique. Good work! If you have the time, take a listen to some of my work!

on Zodiac Sford and NuSkoolFX Remix by sford

This is amazing man. You guys did a tremendous job! I love the synths used in this as well as the driving sidechain that brings it all together.

The intro is a TAD long though. I would cut it down about 15 seconds at least.

Absolute wonderful work. I enjoyed every minute listening to this song!

Best,
Skwish Fish

P.S. Check out my new track 'Codera' that I posted! I think it'll be right up your alley!

sford replied 6th Aug 2015 - 11 years ago

Yeah i'll check out your song for sure man! And yeah the intro is a bit long but it's not too bad I think.

on Letters by Livingsoulsdie

Hey man! I absolutely love this track. The ambient but hard feel to it hits me close to home.

While this track is practically FLAWLESS, there is just one thing I would edit. The snare seems a little too punchy during the verses and a little lost during the drop. To fix this I would just drop the level slightly and throw a small reverb on it to help it drive the ambiance of the song while still keeping it's punchy attitude!

Otherwise, I'm amazed at what you've done here. Keep up the good work and check out some of my stuff too :)

on Jahjah and Rainso - Moving On by zacvoos

This is awesome man! Very uplifting and chill.

The only thing I would tweak is the levels of the high frequencies. They're just a tad bit overpowering, but other than that, fantastic job!

Hope to see more work from you soon! And check out my work too when you get the chance!

on Darkangel Feat Stephey-You and I -Dream Remix by Darkangell

This track is great dude. The chord progression is pretty tight and very ambient! I especially love the tropical vibe the melody brings in around 2 minutes in!

The only feedback I could really posit is the levels of the vocals. Don't get me wrong, they fit the track PERFECTLY, it's just that they're a little (just SLIGHTLY) too loud in my opinion.

Amazing work, keep it up my friend!And check out my page if you can! :D

Skwish Fish

Darkangell replied 11th Aug 2015 - 11 years ago

Dubstep isn't so much my genre as others are, but this really caught my attention. Keep up the good work!!
