WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for MAY, 2010

[ponte_ricky]

@modepth. thanks man really appreciate the positive feedback. it stil needs some work as some elements are clashing a little, but its not far off being finished i don't think. i guess i havent heard much like it before, who knows, could have started a new sub genre hah

[kontigobeats]

@ponte yea liking this man, as someone else said it definitely has an original sound,good work! like the laid back vibes with the deep sub, nice percussion too!
@grayskale, a bit heavy chainsawy bass for what i usually like but i appreicate the production skills, you def keep it interesting switching it up and the drums have a nice rhythm to them, keep it up!

heres mine: some future garage or whatever you wanna call it vibes! nice synths and some chopped vocals, just exported this as it is now so ignore the mix but all feedback appreciated! peace

nice sounds, maybe increase the volume of the drums and add some swing

[clemsonheadies]

@Hakka- Sounds awesome! I don't think the bass is too loud either.. that's the point right?? The breaks are a little bit too long in my opinion, but that's just me. Fuck around with the automation a little bit and you've got yourself a solid, dirty track!

@Grayskale- I really like this one, especially the intro. I think that the bass in the 1st and 3rd parts (0.28 and 1.08) need something else besides just the sub, but other than that it's pretty damned good! I especially like the part starting at 1.39, that's some filth.

Here's take two of the first track I posted up earlier, changed up the bass line and added some effects on the vocals, lemme know what you think.

i really like what you've got going in this one, the bassline is interesting, only thing that jumps at me is that your hihats seem really synthetic, especially in the beginning, but i don't know, that's really a matter of preference. i'd listen to this again

@Grayskale - fuck yes dude, more of this. it moves along really well. filth filth filth


Ummm here ... i think this one is almost finished, just have to tweak things up a bit. the bassline at the first drop is a little like WTF but i'll smooth it out next session

@matthew-b. first tune? sounds great, soo dark got a really cool sound to it. keep it up

Thanks. Not first tune ever of course, but first tune which I uploaded here, and one of my first dubstep tunes.

[Nullbit]

@hakka: Thanks, really cool to hear this!

[redjuan]

@ grayskale-sounds heavy,real darkness good tune,maybe vary the drums and a few elements of the track a bit more,sounds big tho

@streetxlite-sounds big mate,really enjoyed this and it has good load of potential,maybe just vary things a bit,look forward to hear this finished

@ Clemsonhead- sounds really good too,proper dark agressiveness,but i yet again think u need to maybe vary the bassline,develop the tune a bit more

Fair play to you's lads they were 3 enjoyable tunes to leave criticism on.

Heres my bit,dnb,deep,minimalish,criticism appreciated

[GRAYSKALE]

@redjuan - big fan of minimilast and liquid dnb so this track is defo sounding good to my ears bro - nice samples really help the flow of the tune - only I have real criticism is that I want more man - that one has the potential to be a nice easy listen 5 min track!! (youre probably planning this anyway)
@- street exile - this is a really good tune bro - love the intro nice incidentals going on to - production is seriously good quality - maybe a bit more bass on the intro bassline to add depth to the track - really interested unconventional stuff though - look forward to hearing more stuff from you bro - basslines are filth (just the way I like them!!!) also nice to hear a bass that follows a chord progression as there aint much stuff like this at the moment!!
@ - clemsonheadies - one word mate - YESS , that bass line sounds fucking fresh now - and the intro vocals have a lot more impact with the delay on them adding flavour - not sure on the outro too much but the rest of the track is PHAT!
@kontigobeats - not too sure on the vocals in the intro bro, but theyre sweet in the rest of the track, im also liking the synths and the beats are really nice - be good to hear this one after the mixdown got a lot of potential man!

[jiraffe]

@redjuan i really like that. maybe a bit more bass might be nice, but that's not really an objective criticism, i personally like the autonomic stuff with a warm glow of bass

i've just made this, it's a bit sloppy and unstructured but it's my first track and i'm new to producing so any criticism and ideas will be apprecitated

Soundcloud

[GRAYSKALE]

@jiraffe - not bad for a first track - gotta sy its a bit too bouncy and happy for my taste but for a first track there is defo some decent skills at play there - think the basses could use more character - a touch more bass and maybe tweak the mids so they gotta a bit more punch to them - always good to hear something different though

[havokdubstep]

@clemsonheadies Feeling that track a lot, if i were you though id probably turn those hats down just a little but i like what youve done with the vocal sample and some nice bass you got there

@streetxlite Thats sounding pretty sweet like how youve got quite a bit of variation going on. The only thing i noticed was that theres one of the basslines (the one thats at 0.55) that doesnt seem as present as the rest, maybe turn it up a little?

@redjuan feeling that, the kind of thing i would blaze to but personally i would also like it to feel a little more bassy, but apart from that sick.

@jiraffe Agree with grayskale good for your first track, but i would add a lot more bass to it. But my first track wasnt as good as that haha.

Im in the middle of this track at the moment, gonna find some vocal samples etc to put over it but any feedback on what ive got so far is appreciated. Here it is:

just finished this but i feel like the mix is pretty bad

[kontigobeats]

Thanks for the feedback so far, yea i wasnt sure on my intro vocals but i think its gives it something catchy so gonna think about them.
@redjuan, liking this man, nice soundscape if thats the word!? good use of percussion too.
Going out now but will leave more feedback later, heres an updated version of mine, added a nice switch up and i think this will be the final structure, feedback appreiciated!

just finished this but i feel like the mix is pretty bad

i like it! the intro is very nice. one thing i would personally do is have more variety with the hats after a few bars. just to keep it interesting. the sounds are nice, and i like the vibe though, just wish it had more, that's all...

hey! i definitely like what u've done with the vocals. very nice! i like the pads too. but my fav part of the song is the arp and the bleeps throughout the song. i think they should stand out more, but maybe it's just me. i like bleeping sounds hahaha just something to try out, i'm not sure if it would sound better or not.


here's something i've been working on. rough stuff, and no buildup right now, really, but some feedback on what would work is very appreciated.

@kontigo - very nice man! almost joker-esque. I like the change-up in the bass line after the break. The only thing I'd say is maybe toss some reverb on the claps to make them stand out a little bit. Good tune overall, I'd love a 320 when you're done!

@havokdubstep - YES! SIR! This one's good and grimey, got a proper buildup to it as well, although I think the bass needs to be a little more prominent in the part starting at 0.28. I really like how the bass drops out for a second at the break, and then comes right back in. The atmospheric sounds in the background are a very nice touch as well. Honestly, I don't think it even needs vocal samples as it's a good tune as-is, but tossing a couple in there during the intro and break couldn't hurt!

@kesek - don't change that first drop! I like how fucked-up and weird the bass is there! The bass that's panned right isn't loud enough in my opinion though.. maybe turn up the gain on the distortion a little bit? Good tune though!

@mars - HELL yeah. I've been loving the half-time dnb stuff I've been hearing recently and this is no exception. I especially like the vocal sample and the drop right after. The only criticism I have is I think you should turn down the reverb on the snare a little bit so it's more punchy. Toss an intro on that, and keep going! This one needs to be at least 4 or 5 minutes.
