Aloe Blacc Remix - New to Dubstep Production

[Andy Tokyo]

Thanks for reading the thread of a new member, I know expectations are normally pretty low with these sort of things.

Anyway, I've been playing with production for the past 3 months or so. I've been almost exlusivly mixing using just headphones, testing my tunes when I warm up for my shows each weekend. It's been a bit of a challenge so I've just ordered myself some monitors (yamaha hs80m) and I'm looking forward to actually being able to hear how unbalanced parts of my tracks are.

Anyway, I'm really looking for some feedback on the last of the tracks I put online. It's had some pretty good feedback from none-producer types but I'd really love some producers to attack what I've done as I want to improve dramatically with each track I put together.

Thanks!

Hiho
Funny tune, like early 90s The Prodigy stuff with dubstep parts.
Are you the singer? Sounds good.
The snare drum of the dubstep parts goes down a bit. And the reggae chords sound somewhat cheap.

Hey,

Thanks for listening the vocals and reggae chords were the 2 parts sampled from the original (YouTube aloe Blacc - I need a dollar / I'd link it but am on my phone at the moment).

Snare wise, I agree it's def not punchy enough and needs to cut through way more, thanks for listening though
