WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for OCTOBER, 2010

[dickman69]

@mindcontrol - bass is nice, i'd say maybe don't bring it up so high

@marshy - practically perfect

@echoi - wish you'd keep that flute in after the drop, sounds great though

[Gnarbage]

Definitely a work in progress. I'm pretty new to all of this so go easy on me. Tell me where I need to improve because as of now it feels "empty".

id say speed it up a bunch, way too slow for the sounds you are using i think

I'll mess around with that! Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: Bumped the tempo up a bit and slowed down some of the wobbles. Sounds a lot better.

Theres the updated version!

I'm just rambling so don't take me to serious...


@ninthy4 i think you should tone down the frequencies on the bassine,
tone down the distortion a little bit, so it less screechy. Like the build up man
thats awesome, song and samples kinda reminds me of distance - night vision, maybe
take some inspiration for him? similar kinda sound?


@rayman612, haha cool percussion and atmosphere, maybe layer some bass with the storms
so it drags you into the tune, but I geuss you want the bass to hit in the drop?
really like the break and that flute or whatever, pretty impressive, kinda reminds me a little
of mala - alicia, maybe incorporate a bassline like in this song with the thunder, good effort

@Nicorisone, thats my kinda tune man, running out of time will come back and give more feedback
on this track, awesome bassline and samples.. but the vocal ahhh gets a bit repetitive .Just curious,
what artists do you use for inspiration?

[a.paul]

@Gnarbage - liking it with the bumped up tempo, the only thing id say is it still feels a bit empty, maybe put those skank chords in earlier in the song. also maybe change up the bassline a bit just to keep things different.

@NICORISONE - great progress man, maybe change up the vocals a bit later in the song, twist the pitches up a bit. awesome work though! love this style.

Like this idea a lot , thanks for the FB

Here is my track again, been working on it even more, added a break, added another synth on the drop than the bleep one and changed the drum pattern

Not really my kind of dubstep but I really have nothing to say about this in terms of criticism either. It's very well made, and would absolutely pwn the dancefloor. That computers vocal sample is fantastic!

Mate really love the deep vibes of this. Very, very nice!!!! Like my previous post I don't have anything bad to say about this. Kinda reminds me of a cross between breakage and burial Very smooth.

[amphibian]

Here's my track below:

A few points that I've already thought out - needs another break, first break needs some more work, especially that crash... doesn't sound very good imo. Also needs some major mastering work

Thanks! Yea ive been listening to it over and over reviewing it and i will probably do another cut tonight with more vocal sample changes.

My inspiration comes from Burial, Scuba, FaltyDL, Mount Kimbie, etc...

Dude im lovin this! I would so love to play in my car when im just driving around at night!

One thing I would say is maybe find a different snare sample and maybe bring the drums up just a pube or 2 lol

[Echoi]

@echoi - wish you'd keep that flute in after the drop, sounds great though

Thanks man, still a work in progress and likely to change somewhat, still not sure yet.

Feeling your beat, its got that cool 1970's funk vibe, like straight out of Starsky and Hutch or something

[amphibian]

@NICORISONE - Absolutely loving it. Nothing more to say really. Really nice deep vibe - sounds like a cross between breakage and burial

@Gnarbage - Love the vocal sample that you've used and the FX on it, plus the pads in the background. The speed increase helps a lot but I don't think the synths gel all that well. The atmosphere you paint with the vocals + pads leads the listener to believe they're in for a pretty deep track, but then a mid-range wobble drops in. Just my opinion though, others may disagree on that front

@rayman - not really sure what to say. Not something I would listen to usually so not sure what to critique. Sounds and samples used seem to be rather well balanced but (this could be my crappy headphones at work), there seems to be a distinct lack of bass. This could be a decision though to support the tribal sound?

Cheers on the previous feedback folks, took some advice and made it longer

I'll drop you gys a whole fb post tomorrow when I got some more time

[Bassmagnet]

@NICORISONE
I keep telling my friends less it more and this is the full essence of it! You don't use so many sounds but it comes out sounding nice and full! Good work brotha, liked it every step of the way.
@ninthy4
I was worried it was going to be when it dropped, but it knocked my socks off and I can't find them now >.> Bravo to you sir, get this finished so I can jam some more! I have nothing bad to say about this one either, just looking forward to it being completed!
@Gnarbage
The vocal was made very well, but after the break it feels too slow. Great drums, and sounds. But, I don't hear a sub but this is a work-in-progress so I'm sure you will add it. Good work. Oh, and Bush knocked down the towers, tell the truth!

Been awhile since I posted something up here, been working on this since last night.
Feels mellow and smooth to me.
