140 BPM Dubstep Attempt?

http://soundcloud.com/cestladore/starscreamdubstepcesladore

New to the forums and to dubstep. I realize this isn't exactly dubstep, and I'm missing vital elements that make it dubstep, but I'm not sure what it is. I'm hoping some dubstep scholars can give me some gentle(or maybe not so gentle ...

Re: Dubstep Noob seeking guidance

M-Audio pads and keys don't compare to Akai and some other higher end stuff in my opinion. Go in to a GC or whatever big music store you have in your area and play around with them, maybe you'll like them. But for me the Axiom was always sluggish and the pads are stiff. Again its all personal ...
