@ JBE

I've got a lot to learn from peeps like you! So much work put into your drum tracks and it shows. Love the section where you play with brakes and breaks. I would prefer if the main synth you use had a rougher tone to it. Maybe had a second oscillator that has a slightly longer attack than the first to give it a bit more flavor. ATM it reminds me of the old yamaha synth I used to play with 15 years ago.

@ +3

Hard not to like these chills beats. Really like that people are heading towards the more melodic spectrum of Dubstep these days.

Also lacking variation, tried throwing in a few breaks to mix it up but it needs something else?
reaally like the break going into the drop, and the snare's got a nice amount of space to it. Don't know it it's just me, but the hi hats are leaving me a little dizzy? but yeah.. I can bounce to it.
As far as the pad/violins (?) go, I'm thinking as you wrap everything up in the last bar, you could hold the note a little longer, then drop everything out with the break... but then come back in with a variation on the melody, etc..

alright im not to good at feedback but here goes anyway

@mindcontrol - quite like this track, really nice and ambient, really pleasant listening only thing i would say is its a bit too atmospheric, needs a bit of melody or something that sticks in your head after you listen to it because its easily forgoten, maybe get some soft pads in there or a vocal sample?

@haploid - i really like the sub bass in this one (i always struggle to make decent subs, wouldnt mind if u gave me a few pointers) and it sounds like u got the foundations for a good track, only thing is it needs some extra sounds in there to keep it interesting but i really dont know what. sorry lol

@ +3 - the percussion in this is really nice, propa keeps the track moving along nicely

@jemgroove - really liking this one, tbh i dont think it needs any vocal samples, you should get rid of that one before the drop and just leave it as it is. really like it. big ups

Here's one of mine i've been working on, im trying to do something different to the wobble stuff i usually make, i quite like the sounds i've got in there but my eq'ing is all over the place, ive been making it in headphones and dont have a spectrum analyser so its really hard to tell what to do with it. i keep getting told that my subs are to quiet in my tunes so ive tried bringing it out more in this one however it dont sound right in my headfones, i dont know if this is because they're boosting the sub before i hear it or because its just shit anyway feedback appreciated, will try and give feedback to whoever gives me feedback.

Definately not the Ultra-Crushed type of Dubstep I am used to making but I felt like making something more smooth - More of my dark side... Lol

Feedback would be appreciated! Leave some comments in the player! Any tips on making it better you have let me know! (this is a rough... idk if its even worth sending to my engineer yet)

Thanks for the feedback, think it's going to get into a more steppy feel after that break!

Any more feedback on this one?

@ +3, nice, i like the glitchy industrial feel to this, well i think it is lol.

@ marshy, also nice like the kind of oldschool feel to it, takes me back to when i was a don with my cassette walkman ;)

@ jemgroover, the bass in this is so sweet, just listened to it like 5 times in a row, awesome!


Onto mine,
Tracks in the sig and sounds muddy compared to some of the tracks I've been listening to :oops:
Just an intro so far, not sure where to take it to now or even if I'm gonna continue with it.

@bass-killa: the piano and wobble were wayy out of sync with the drums. in regards to the other users comment, i don't know what you've already been told, so i can't comment on that aspect of your production.

@offkeylickbeats: tight man! i don't know what to suggest, everything's sounding pretty good.

@NexxusProductions: i'm diggin this, the darkness of it is awesome. bass sounds nice too.



Here's something I've just been playing with lately. I'm pretty new to production and this is the third "track" I've made. It's still really rough, more of a general idea of what I'm going for.

I'm trying to make the lead bass line louder/drums quieter as I think it kinda gets buried in there. Any other tips would be appreciated greatly!

@rightontime27 - Nice try some triangle waves tri-waves always sound nice

Really would appreciate some feedback, the reason I am re-posting is because I was completely over-looked last time but I really need some feedback :)

@ NoirPantalon
I get this too lol.

But yeah, your tracks nice, preferably I would add a little more to it in parts as is can seem a bit repetitive after while, possibly a pad or some fx maybe?

@NoirPantalon
Really like the intro and the overall vibe of the track, but have to agree that you could maybe expand on it by adding a few more parts to switch the track up a bit

@Dr-zitbag
Epic piano! Sounds like a beauty, I'd be really interested to see how you continue this

@Marshy
Really chilled deep track, I love it and love the reverb on the snare in there, soundin real good, finish it off!

@NexxusProductions
Dark moody track, the vocals work really well I think, I'd quite like to hear some more variety percussive-wise though...

Right so I've got this here
Soundcloud

Looking for some general feedback, but I also need an idea for a vocal sample before the drop and have no idea what, so, any ideas?

@NoirPantalon Really nice. Maybe change the beats round a bit, add some variation. Make that shit longer and get it finished, will be top notch ;)

Started and finished this one today so its un eq'd and what not, a bit rough.

It's not what's been said about his production, it's his forum edicate. He's posted two seperate threads in the wrong places and put his tune up and then posted it twice here without giving any feedback at all despite being told in BOTH of the threads he started what the correct rules are for the forum. Just really grates on me when arrogant little pricks think they are above everyone else and deserve special treatment.

Maybe we should all look past this thought and give him feedback anyway, afterall the tune is awful XD

ahhhh gotcha. i'm still new around here so i haven't seen his posts before.


@Bledbox: sounds good! reminds me of some sort of mystery-theme song or something. bass towards the end sound tasty coming out of my sub!

@CharlieFoy: jazzy little track you got goin there! i could see some people saying that it sounds flat if they don't have the system for it, but that's their fault anyways, right?



Tweaked my newest track a little bit more. Haven't gotten any feedback from the first time around, but I'd really appreciate anything! I know it's not up to par with the majority of the stuff posted, but I gotta start somewhere
