p.s any good videos i can watch to master and mix a track better?
http://www.dnbscene.com/article/88-thinking-inside-the-box-a-complete-eq-tutorial This article helped me quite a bit. You may have read it already though. It covers the basic idea of mixing. Basically every sound must have its own ...

The melodies are fucking awesome! I listened to it like 5 times in a row. :) The instruments (excluding the dubstep parts) are ok.

I do have something negative to say about it though, constructive criticism if you will:

Overall mixing is bad; Basically kick is boosted way too high and it's peaking ...

Awesome! I have to agree with maccaveli, though, it's a bit muddy.

Hey guys, im not looking to get exactly the same sound but just the best techniques to achieve a good thick sounding pad as mine seem to either be too thin or distort when i turn the cutoff up.

Any help would be appreciated!

okay guys. i made two wips yesterday and they are completely different vibes. would love for feedback on either one.

The intro is very enjoyable, although simple. I like the frequency shifting stab sound in the background. I didn't really like the build ...

What do you guys think about this?: https://www.box.com/s/pf16tmc4rb7srpg14i0f (Soundcloud didn't work. You can listen it directly from the link. No download needed)
Was thinking of making it drop after that. How's the mixing? Suggestions?

I uploaded the track to soundcloud;

There's not much to the drums, really. The kick sounds like it's been ripped of low frequencies, snare is just a boring sample from vengeance essential clubsounds-pack. The hihat is repetitive and lonely with no open hihat there to keep the flow going.

Awesome! Very nice synthwork. There's something about the drums I don't like though... Maybe it's just me.

Cool track. All those short sounds blend in very well to a nice, rhythmic piece. I suppose that's what glitchstep is all about..? That jazz-ish piano fits in perfectly! Keep up the good work.

Nice! Catchy melody. The drums are very dubstep-ish. Needs some mid bass along with that sub bass.

I was actually inspired to this by the current brostep competition but then I decided I'd not enter since the track came out 150bpm instead of required 140. And, well, I didn't wanna haste it.

Spent some serious time on this one and it ...

I've been trying to replicate this sound for some time now and I just can't get it right. It's this pad-ish synth quite commonly used in electro songs nowdays. And I know it can't be too complicated but it's just I'm not very good in sound design.

Example in Porter robinson's "say my name":

when you use restart via gate, which you have to if you want a consistent sound every time you press a key, you can manually alter the start position for each of the oscillators in the box below it, so you can tweak them to sound like any of the variations you get when theyre left to random, it ...

Looks like it was the voicing tab's pitch cutoff that I had missed. :u: Stupid me...

Switched off it sounds like this:

Sounds like each time the sound loops it sounds different; like the frequency was higher/lower every time. Anyone know why? Can it be ...

Ok so I've always had some problems with massive when making pad sounds and such. This time I wanted to take a deeper look into it and I discovered something weird;

When you make a synth out of default preset of massive (the one that opens up when you start massive), there's a huge difference ...
