FINISHED TRACKS FOR FEEDBACK-- DECEMBER 2010

[LordBid]

@acolddayinhell - This is a pretty dope intro and drop builds tension really well and I love the drum beat its boss. My problem is that bass seems to not be clear enough compared to other elements in the track, it seems a little too distorted or something in relation. Very creative overall and your groove is nice!

@arisemprex - cool groove man. Something about that guitar isnt sitting right with me, seems kind of out of place or needs some effect or something, did you play it out? cus that would be pretty cool! SNare could use a lot more oomph I think, doesn't quite smack enough. But man that groove is sick. May want to work on an outro as that ending isn't really an ending.

@we bang - Wish I could get a master as loud as this While I think the drop and that kick roll could be a lot better, for what it went into totally made up for it. Dope sounds! This is some fiery cool stuff. I want to hear a stronger snare, yours is coming out a little weak to me.

Here is mah tune been working hard on this one for the last week.

- Lordbid: not bad, your structure and variations/ideas are really cool, but you need to work abit more on your overall sound (eg. your saw bass is too low)

- acolddayinhell: your intro is tuned wrong , check your notes again atmospheric elements are good, again your bass too needs cleaning up, way too bitcrushed

- We Bang - very 501/Bar9ish , very good material bigup

My latest collab with King Astma, also an update on my previous tune I posted:

wirez - 4/4 beat excellent love it. very nice . pretty cool vibe and blines through the track and the vox is killer. was waiting for something to happen a lil through out the track but it never got there.

Doesn't 4/4 have to have a kick on all 4 beats of the bar? This is 1 kick per bar

Glad you're feeling the vibe, bassline and vocals. - If you were feeling these what were you waiting for exactly? There's plenty of alteration and new stuff introduced throughout the sections of the track I guess you're just not used to music that doesn't drop into a massive held sub bass note

Thanks for the feedback pal, will return the favour now

I was smoking crack and hung over hahhaha after listening in my studio I love the future garage sound on this!!!! qquality as always

@reignz: at first i hated the drum samples but at a second listening they're actually quite ok and fit the rest of the track great. really gettin' that caspa/rusko feel that got me into the whole game. surprisingly good production value. the wobble is probably best i've ever heard by an amateur producer. nice! i don't listen to all this aggy stuff so much but all in all, great work mate(s)

@lordbid: not a big fan of those choral synths. pretty decent production. the levels are a bit all over the shop, somethings too quiet while the other one is too loud. good work on the wobble, really nailed that one. the clubby lead synth is real cool too. not sure what's going on in this tune, might need a few listens to really get the structure. with a little work this could be a gem for those who feel this style. safe man!

@alexvont12 - first of all, i'd change the kick sample. the beat is also a bit confusing, not really having that skanky, shuffly vibe that could've been nice. it's like stopping all the time. i guess you could call this stuff idm or something more on the ambient side? all in all i'm not really getting this tune at all.

here's my new track. check it out

@ Reign: Good track mate! Not your best imo, but massive nonetheless. On a technical level, there's
nothing i could criticize. Drums sound huge. Musically it isn't your most interesting beat,
but it's all good. Big fan!

@Topmo3: nice vibes dude. Have the feeling the piece could use a tad more reverb. Bassline is a bit boring to
be frank. Vocals sound swell. Overall nice one!

@Brex: Good drums, but not sure if i'm comfortable with the snare delay panning. Reduce the attack on
your sawwy lead, it booms a bit too hard together with the kick. Also, try to bring in more elements.
The lead isn't that interesting imo. Overall good start, keep at it!

My tune. Would love some feedback.

[GDavies]

new collab from me and neji.
on a dark mission.
working on a techno b-side for it atm.
feedback appreciated.


@ Biggls well like that track, nice and chilled. i like the fade out, seems like it could go on forever.
@ sun_ck the synths in this are good man. all about the melodies, most people forget that. i'd watch the hi-end of everything though, getting some serious tinnitus.
@wirez awesome man. melody is well baltic.

@ninthy4

thats funky man, vocal samples are sick and lovely sub
maybe get a bit more percussion goin on the fill out the space? bongos n ting

@reignz

this has made me very depressed cos it's so much sicker than mine. Heavyyy bruv
one thing id say is there's a really high harmonic playing the entire way, and its a bit loud
part from that, top tune

@acolddayinhell

haa this dope
love the sample and the synth at the beginning

@GDavies: I like the vibe you're giving off here, the perc sometimes gets really repetitive though, around the whole second minute that clappish thing irritates the fuck out of me, also the sub could be louder. The intro is too long and pretty boring for me, the whole track is well made though and obviously you weren't going for some ravey fast stuff. I'm probably not the best judge, I've never been into this kind of track, hope I've helped though.


@ninthy4: Kind of the same story as GDavies as far as the ambient stuff, and the sub could be louder.... I'm starting to think my sub is broken.... maybe it's a soundcloud thing? Another think in common, it's well made but it's repetitive and slooowww,not really my kind of slow. Like I said though, it sounds fine, very professional, just not really part of my deal. I think the best thing I could say to improve would just make it more... I don't know how to say it, just danceable even if it's subtle, like a catchy background so you keep the ambient thing up but there's a little extra in there if you get what I mean. Best example I can give right now is:
Soundcloud

@Carmen_:

I like this as far as construction goes, just some of it sounds muddy and some of it sounds... just too happy (not rough) so finding some balance would be good. The bit from 1:50 to 2:20 or so sounds great besides like I said the kind of muddy bitcrushed stuff. More samples would be cool too... and clearer/longer... more of a vibe and personality set up.




This is my second non-dubstep track, some instrumental hip hop for you guys:

Alrite peeps this is my first time on this site, I could really use some constructive criticism if anyone's got the time? I've been trying to get to grips with dubstep production for a couple of months now and have made a few pretty decent sounding tracks, although could really use some advice from the pros.....

There up on youtube so no need to download...

Digging that production mate, that shit is tight! You signed it to a label or just pushing it yourself?

[legskeattch]

who's that too?

[simongeorgyd]

You mate, take a compliment when its given will ya

[Biscuit]

@LordBid - I love the structure of your tune, nice buildups and good atmospheric parts. Some of your sounds are a little low in the mix though.

@reignz - I like it a whole lot, I assume that's a clip yeah? Great sound though.

@brex - I dig the tune. Synth is kinda cool. Your snare sounds a little thin though. Maybe fatten it out some and give it a litte more presence.

Sorry I couldn't be more technical on some of my feedback. I'm way n00b.

Anyway, I'm revisiting this track I already had up on my other SC. I had the limiter and a compressor on it but decided tonight I wasn't completely happy with the way the mix sounded. So I took those off and tried to get a better mixdown and am thinking of getting it professionally mastered.

I don't work with a real great setup/speakers so essentially mainly what I want to know is if the mixdown sounds proper from someone with a nice setup to hear it on and if you think it's ready to be mastered?

Any kind of other feedback on the tune is much appreciated too. I'm just starting to learn to do this stuff so anything that I'm offered I'm more than happy to have.
