Well that wasnt my question, and wasnt it you that posted a thread about it?

I just started producing, and I have absolutely no real background in music. I've recently seen many threads on music theory so i have a couple questions:

What is it in a nutshell?
What are the advantages of learning it?

Is this a good first MIDI to get? Im looking around to get my first one and im liking it, anyone own it or have any input?

Why does everyone here seem to hate on skrillex? I think he makes great music, sure he has off songs, but doesn't everyone? I'm just wondering, why dont you like skrillex?

Could you guys believe 7 people had to be taken to the hospital, and 1 died? Like seriously, drink water with your rolls kiddos.

skrillex does

I may sound stupid posting this here, but could you guys point me in the right direction for a good website with free vocal samples?

I see, thanks for feedback.

You definitely have the harsh LFO'd synth sound on par with popular dubstep. Maybe try mixing up the drums a bit by adding some percussion and hits, and get creative with the rhythms. Drop the bass down - sub bass is supposed to be felt more than heard. Also, the part where it is just a solo ...

Otherwise. Great track.

Thanks man.

Let me know what you guys think, i know it could be better, but it's my first one and im still learning to use Ableton. I tried to go for a darker, filthy sound. Constructive criticism is very helpful!
