on Not a hit song by baiiz
Nice song, there's a whole lot going on here. It may be just me but in my phones I detected a few spots where the levels get blown out here and there. Right at the bigining, those subs sounds seem to be clashing with the deeper pad synth sound in the background. Makes it hust a bit muddy in places where those freqs are clashing.
My tip here, maybe trim just a smidge off your sub bass db level and be sure it compressor limited to at least -6 db in your over all mix. You may need to readjust some pad levels after you do that, but I think in the end you'll have a mix that is a bit more clear.
Nice work here for sure.

on Perception by thnknde
Coney may be right in saying that your bass freq is clipping the bass out as well. Maybe clip the bass kick sound to something around 150-180 Hz. That large drum beat sounds unlike a pop and more towards a house and even dubstep line.
Good going and keep it on spot.

on NWA (one11one Dub Remix) by helven
Here's gonna be my general tip. Draw all your levels way at least -5db! At least! especially the sub bass and kick drum. Make absolutely sure that all the channels are eq'd to isolate the specific freq. range you desire (cut out the mud) and you HAVE to have a compressor on the sub channel. It can have a long slow release, but be sure to side chain it thru the drum kick so that they don't collide w/ each other in the mix.
After all that, if you have about -6db headroom as it goes into the master channel, add an analog sturation type boost on the final master line. This hould get you close to clear sounding hits, while maintaining a bumpin' sound that can be cranked up real hot on the system amp.
you are now my best friend ;P

on Falcon by Birdy
revised. RThat song kicked me in the tenders so hard all I could spit out was a name that sounded something like out lord's name in vain. Brilliant production once again Birdy. fabulously filthy and in your face dubstep once again.
revised. Thanks for clearing that one up man :D

on dubstepper trekker by rrinsa
I can vibe well with this sound.
Keep dubbing strong, we need the presence!
on Galaxy the Beast [Badman] by SovereignKonceptz
Here's what I coul dhear happening. Use that lickle dub skank sample a bit mor ein a break down, cut everything out into the dub style outro, just for about 8 bars, then drop the dubstep bassline and beat back in. Makes for a serious skank.
Also think that maybe modulating the bass sound after the 2nd drop might add some interest, maybe just opening the lpp cutoff a slight bit in the 2nd part of the tune. I'm really glad to hear this quality after yesterday's little blow up thread. nice work,
i get kinda lost wiv my
structure, on all my tracks lol.
i appreciate this review m8
cheers
on Lovers Who Uncover (DUB remix) by celestial1157
Couple of artists you may need to investigate.
diplo - dubtop raning cd w/ santogold!
modeselektor - boogey bytes
eskmo - almost anything
This sound has something init got you that you've overlooked in the rest of your dubstep....? It's something to do with the raaw drum kit in it's natural environment that makes this track so badass. I would seriously look into that one aspect more and see how you could spread the idea across your tunes collectively. A bit more analog dirt, reverb, saturation in the master mix for that old school recording with volume and minimal headroom.
Love this...
and as far as the drums in the natural environment, it was honestly me just not knowing as much as i do now. lol. but yeah that snare is pretty dirty!! i been recently thinkin about that.
goin for different drum kit styles over different tracks. give some the dirt, give some the shine!
well let me know when you are up and going and ill send you the loops!

on I Want to be your star by CSoul
Massive Attack produced by Mad Professor - it's the mad professor part that I'd look into. This dub pushes towards electro trance in the Massive Attack, Bjork, Portishead way. All of which are great artists to research while refining your sound.
Arrangement is spot, I might want to re arrange some instrumentation for a truer dub sound as the elctronica aspect starts to overpower the atmosphere. Especially the 180 bpm hard style drum beat at the end... now it's not dub it's rave, diva rock. The feel changed so much from the beginning to end I am now confused as to why you chose dub.
thanks again , peace
