Phatttttiieeeeee maannnnnnnnnnnn.
produced to perfection bro seriously now just finish it!!!! that drop had me bobbin yo, rides that beat hard as fck. Got no advice to give on this one. my bad i still havent hit you up for that collabo, im off work tomorrow tho so i think i'll write up an intro and let you work some more of this nastiness into the drop on that if you want. I'll drop a breakdown or somethin, just hook it up with whatever presets you end up making and let me know what programs to plug em into. ill do the same. sound like a plan?
PS: dropped a new grimey one on the loop just now, let me know what you think!
peace bro
Deffinitly,
I've been bz wit sku, so not alotta freetime haha. But yea, I can send u presets and what not, or even project files depending on wat DAW u use.
nice man, you are definitely gettin the hang of dstep. just maybe tweak the levels a bit and filter out those lower freqs on the bline, ridin a bit muddy. like the strong beat and the samples in this one.
safe mate, for a first try this sick. nice n chilled, good beats in here. loving up those bongos. only complaint is the bass is clicking a bit, maybe EQ out some of the bottom freqs. good sht man.
easy.
TJ
sickkk sample hahahaha. love it man. the tune's a killer. i didn't realise just how much dubstep talent was on this site until recently. this is a key example. everything in your mix is right where it should be and that nasty bass you threw on top just rinses it.
safe mate, im off to see what else i've missed out on in your library lol.
TJ
FATTTTTTT!!!!!!
dropped that fat bass like a pro. production is sounding real good bro, everything stands out really well. diggin the FX and singularities you threw in. that little synth riff you got going for the melo is nice n crispy, dig the slides and wobbles in it. one note i have on this is that i could keep track of the time, but there isn't much to signify the start of a new bar. i know you are keeping away from the wobbles on this one, but maybe drop a wobble or two at the start or end of your bars to nail that fcker down. just kinda punch the beat home. lookin forward to seein what you come up with next mate.
easy!
TJ
hell yeah, i dig this one. fat bassline, nice n chilled though. see you started switchin it up with the bline a bit, it's sounding tight. old school soundin beat but with some nice glitchy fx. that build tripped me out though lol, was expectin to get my ears blasted off but it dropped back to that chillin beat again. i dig it. woulda been a nice set up to some thick grimey bass though. but going to conventional way aint always the best way so props. keep it comin'. got a new one up if you wanna give it a listen. late.
TJ
so sick. fat beat, nice and chilled piece of dstep. really good use of samples, everything is right where it should be. but the use of guitar in this track makes it just that much sicker. nothing constructive to add, think this one's done. nice work.
TJ
First things first, That is one SICK kick. dropped that bass in there nicely, really solid melody. then you kick it up with some more hats, the panning is good. sick use of FX. i like the really thick dark vibe you carry through the track. i need to start working stuff like that into mine lol. Beat is too sick around 2:45, tied it together really nicely with the fx. good breaks in the second drop. i like the deep Whomp on the front of the basslines in this tune. Bangin. it's sounding great on my system so no complaints as far as mastering goes. Keep it up!!!!
TJ
haha thanx man.. this is my first dubstep track (not including a tiny demo one i did to test out my wobble bass) glad you like it. ill check out some of your trax if your a producer in the near future!
Safe. really well put together. maybe work a bit more variation in on the bassline next time round. every time you put in a break, drop it with a slightly different bassline. if you just throw in an extra wobble or a nice drawn out whooomp between your bass riffs, simple sh[t that goes a long way to makin a track sound less repetitive. other than that it's all ace. beats solid, fx n that r all laid down right where they should be.
glad to see some other people r producin some dubstep outta oxford lol. just got done with college there. no more fckin trekkin up cornmarket in the rain for me.
anyway, keep at it. you got a good feel for the layout of your tunes if this one's anything to go on.
late. TJ
thanks m8// yeah think u hit nail on head there m8 definately need to add extra wobble sounds .am working on that and may have to update the track..as 4 oxford lol.and they still doin roadworks in the high street ..cool
seriously well arranged. nice chilled piece of dubstep with good flow throughout. great use of fx and singularities to keep the listener hooked throughout. keeps it all fresh, a good technique to have. only criticism is that there is no big release of energy on the drop, try speeding up the drums as you move through the build and then maybe cus its a slower tune drop back to the main beat with some small variations but throw in a couple breaks to freshen it up. Though we all have to find out what works for us and go our own way with our music to get some unique sound. so just keep those tips in mind for future songs =]
hope to hear more from you, take it easy.
TJ
This track is sick as fck man. it's all leveld out nicely. thick thick bass with a dark riff is sweet. really dont have much to say aside from praise on this one. think you are definitely getting there with your sound. keep these coming man. banger.
hate to pull this line out but i could use a set of ears from a dubstepper to tell me where im going wrong on my stuff. just dropped a new semi-finished tune on here. would be much appreciated.
either way im gonna be checkin your track list regularly now for more of these. take it easy.
TJ
Thanks m8.
I'll deffinitly help u out with anything, with watever I kno lol. Haven't been producing for more then 4 months...didn't buy a DAW till abt a month and a half ago lol.
Im trynna up my next track.
Gotta few ideas laid out, but I want it to go bigger then this one. But I rlly wanna get on it now, after ur msg dude.
If u want, we cud link up.
Making connects is how our musik gets around and gets better.
dig the tune. like that nice disty bass. might just be me but feels like the drum loop needs a few more of those signature dnb ghost snares and a bit stronger EQ on the kick n snare to get em nice n crispy. just stuff to think about for the future ;]
check a couple of my dnb tracks if you want to see what im sayin. im still learnin too and appreciate any criticism u can drop on me.
take it easy.
TJ
awww hell yeah. glad to see some nice step comin from the US... and my home town no less! that grimey bass is what im talking about. i like that you dropped two basslines over each other, makes for that nice nice twisted feel. all the dudes over here in the UK rate this tune. that's a good sign. keep at it.
TJ
hey man been a while. glad to see you are still kickin out the dubstep. and even more glad to see you are keepin that original flavor of yours goin. some perfectly off-beat riddims in this one. big choon. intro hooked me in real nice i gotta say, sounds and the reverb on em are all ace.
keep it comin bro,
TJ
nice solid beat under a nice flowing bassline. what else is dubstep haha. ace track. the mastering is good. as far as constructive criticism goes... maybe drop a breakdown at some point cus it's a pretty steady flow at the moment. not repetitive, i just find adding some differences in the beat to accentuate the bass changes the flavor up a bit. im no expert tho.
anyway, nice track. definitely getting a download.
TJ
i'm so glad you asked me to check this little number out, amazing composition, production is impeccable, you are a master of your trade my friend. I love the subtle riff that kicks in at around 1:50, so smooth. I have nothing but praise for your work and i feel that even attempting to critique your work would be a grave insult on my part because you obviously know anything i could possibly say and far beyond.
so thank you very much for contributing this tune to the site and to the world for that matter!
always a fan,
TJ
I guess I forgot that your name TJ and Falter is one and the same. :-) Glad you enjoyed this tune and am always looking forward to reviews to see how I can improve.
The subtle riffs and other guitar licks and chords strewn thoroughout, are what makes it more interesting and not a boring tune.
Thanks again TJ. I appreciate your listening and commenting very much.
Randy
whys nobody showin this track some love???
nice smoooooooth wobblin, got my sub whompin hard. good use of sounds. i like that there wasnt much repetition, kept switchin it up, nice.
only criticism is maybe chuck some more thick sub under it and snap the LFO a bit harder to get that nice whom whom whom. but thats just my taste man. other than that cant say anythin, ace material.
keep em comin.
Yo Falter man, uve probabley given me one ov tha bestest most positively criticism'd reviews ever ma brother!!! thank you, a LOT!!!, im hearin wot ur sayin about tha snap G, and thanx again 4 i think the best review ive eva had...(beats "nice track" anyway lol), seriously G, thanx man
hey, very nice!
the arrangement is really good. the loops all fit together perfectly. Butcha is right tho, needs some more beat to it. just beat match and chuck some drum loops under it. make things a bit more interesting.
take it easyyy
lookin forward to your next tune.
TJ
OKAY! listened on my system. it's all perfect. those headphones are worse than i thought. everything is right where it needs to be. the panning of the instruments is done perfectly and i love the battling guitars with one on the left and one on the right. awesome. ignore my last review, you know what you are doing and i can offer no advice at all except make it as long as humanly possible. i dont want it to end.
great work.
TJ
Perfect eh? ha ha,
Well, I think there's always room for improvement on most anything. I suspect most everyone will listen to Loopermans, and other web sites, tunes thru normally lame computer speakers and cheaper headphones.
It's only when you download it and play it via another way will you hear it as it was made......in my case, using a KRK 6" monitor speakers with a 10" KRK subwoofer.
Then your in heaven when you have a good 'near field' system to mix by!
I would suggest getting a pair of Sennheizer HD 280 closed headphones. Around $100 here and there. Rated very good by many analysts. They are very loud, but no volume control on them. Just adjust the volume going into them.
If you by chance have listened to any of my other tunes...like 'Heavy Metal Highway' via the old way, prepare to be blown away with a good speaker system. I think that is my all time highest played tune on here or TT. The drums on that kick ass!
Okay, bye for now...and thanks for taking the time to write back.
Randy
randy!
as always. impeccable guitar work, you can make those strings tell stories my friend! i really dig the ominous organ/synth introducing the guitar. agree with Barry, wish it was longer! Production was top notch for the most part. everything sounding really crisp. im listening on crap headphones but the only criticism i have (which may be a direct result of said headphones) is the seperation of the instruments frequencies. a little EQ on the drum track and guitars to keep them all in their own space, so to speak should do the trick. its nothing major. im just trying to find something helpful to add haha. but yeah the drums got overshadowed by the guitars at times which can be dangerous if you lose track of the beat. its the backbone after all eh?
hope this helps in some way =]
again, always a fan, amazing work.
TJ
I appreciate your reviewing my last tune and I also very much appreciate the comments on how to improve the song by EQ the guitar and drums a little differently.
The drums, especially the kick drum, I am proud of myself as I finally got that solid punch sound that hits you in the chest.
You will hear it clearer on a bigger speaker system with a subwoofer.
The guitar tones, I basically wanted a raw solid crunch sound without effects at the beginning part, and I think I got what I was wanting.
But to be sure, EQing will certainly separate the parts better as you mentioned.
So thanks again and I will review some of your tunes tomorrow as it's time for bed now. I have to get up in 4 hours for work!
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom.
My ears are happy.
It takes a hell of a tune to get me shufflin at 4am on a sunday. but you managed it. Awesome.
Synth work is epic. Piano break at the beginnin, also fckin epic. not repetitive at all, thats a big big big big achievement with rave tunes so props for that.
whatever is making that sound you gated sounds intense haha. real nice solid beat. maybe drop the stuttered vocals a level in the mix at the start, pretty overpowering. really like this tune. nice work.
