Thanks for the existence of feedback! The second track is some thing me and my brother did for fun. If you look at the waveform you will see a massage ;).

In my track, I too at times think at times the 'stuttering' to be slugrat.

@almostskate100: feeling the merkabah vibesss... you know of Om Unit ?, your pulling a style similar to thatt,, nice rhythmm,
maybe a deeper bass for start, just to push it down the throat, lengthen the attack, add some reverb, and boost it to give it move movement but still have spacee...
clean perc, everything else is chill..

@ sluggy: the intro was lacking a melody and vibee,, to hold the listener in, the main is nice, could eq and play with the snare.. add some fx's to give it more character
its really dry atm... The bass feels smooth, the track itself is clipping and stuttering.. Idk what to tell you there, the track is decent, the production can be put up more thoughh.. by that I mean, you can put more into it, I know its 40 seconds but still,, do everything you can to make your track great !, no matter how long it takes...
you can never add TOO much if you know what your doing...

@thelastthing
: your track is off beat, Im sure it just sounds off tempo because of kick placement, work with percussion first, learn hip hop, groove, and patterns that make you sway, and good foundation of perc is always good to start off, that way you can have more of a feel for your melody and "wobble" ... get creative ! expand beyond the norm ! randomly drop it, and discover sounds you wouldn't imagine ! seek out there mattee,

@lightshapers: cool track, lovely intro,and melodies with nice rhythm, .. sounds are clear and crisp, high level production,
I don't like brostep, but this track was theree... only thing I would suggest is, different snare.. be different from the rest ... don't use the same overplayed brostep snare..
and different bass.. make it deep, what I mean is like, Meditational dub.. if you know of any, deffo got a good track then.. but thats just my perception just because Im not fond of the brostepp or whateve... but good track all in all.. keep upp
man why do I even bother... Because I love it .. music life, music passion, music soul.

@lightshapers - Totally immersive. It's what I can say. Very good!
@Klesherdubs - Dirty, I like it, but a little bit confusing...
@thelastthing - Nice elements but needs more flow.

I already gave feedback 6 posts up, but since "DUZ1" posted, I'll give feedback for him..

@DUZ1: Right after the first bassline, that little break down sounds really flat.. It could use something to make it sound thicker...

Here is my updated WIP.. Added some reverb, and fixed some of the arrangement on the bassline..

Oh sorry, didn't see you :3

Here ya go:

@Klesherdubs Really nice flow, but the bass sounds a little to sharp, or maybe that's the high hats... Does seem a bit jumbled :/.. Make sure to add some different variation through out the mix too.. seems to get a little repetitive, but it doesn't seem that bad..

Okay time for my feedback now ^__^

@SMOR3S: hahah, yeah.. My friend mentioned that too, about it seeming to be all too much at once.. I need to go back and let it breathhh !!. hahh
and yeah I was just to lazy to move the perc around much really will get on thatt one famm..

alright
giving feedback as I listen to DerpStep... the melody on the intro is nicee.. could be quantize and chopped up a lil to flow better and swing with the groove,
breakdown is nice.. everything is clear and smooth, :4: bass is reallll mellow deffo feeling the track, the perc is kinna getting repetitive thoughh..
the mixdown is timed well, it comes in fluidly into the beat.. that lil synth fits well with the trackk.. sidechaining is ace.. the only thing to change is maybe spice of the groove
the main melody, add some variation.. gives it a tickle to the ear, so they don't expect something or it just makes it all the more better...
and maybe relax on the vocal sample kinda kills the mood.. lets just hear the tune alone ;-) but thats just me, perc, synth and BASS.. but the tune is well mastered, clear, and original !.. and thats the main priority being a original and good at it !, easy track mate.. big ups

Ohhhh Yeshh
yeah, I played this one over..
Im not really feeling the vocal sample at the beginning, just doesn't suit the trackk.. the kick is holy over the trackk.. Much power..,maybe soften it for the introo
for the drop, it took a lil while to get there, but we made it ! lol..
I think the track would sound smoother without the hesitant sample that bends over the drop then the track starts, but I understand, its a soft tune.. sounds are nice,
wobble has good rhythm.. had nodder deffo, good track all around.. you know what your doing bruv ! superb productionnn

Thank you :3.. I am a brony musician, so I thought it would be cool to do a UKF dubstep tutorial redux, but a pony style one... This is honestly my first Dubstep/Glitch track, cause I am a Trance/House artist, but you can still feel that really soft/melodic vibe, that I like incorporating into my tracks.. I really love feel good happy music..

The vocals do seem a bit weird.. I could pitch them maybe, or add a filter on them... I kind of want to shorten the intro too.. Maybe take out a vocal section, and make the intro like 30 secs, cause 1 min, then it drops, is really long :/

@Klesher Not trying to sound harsh, but I had to turn your WIP off - the highs are way too agressive (sounds like a combo of bass distortion and hihats), tame the high end down a lot in the mix because atm they're literally ear piercing. Aside from that I enjoyed the start.

Oh and smores, did you get your EP mixed/mastered by someone?

Some guy from this forum named Bennett.. I think he dipped after finishing my EP, cause I haven't heard from him since.. I mean, he did a pretty decent job (way better than what I could of done 1-2 months ago), but I have learned a lot more recently, especially how to EQ freq's better... I got like $300 saved almost, so I might drop that on some 5" KRK's, cause right now, all I am using for audio is a Scarlett 2i2, and some Monoprice 8323's.. Better headphones, than what I had, cause I was mixing on SteelSeries cans, for like a year :/

no worries matee :lol: I had a go once I got to a friend's house to have a listen on his beats.. the hats were high and obnoxious .. all I have to mix and master is my eyes and ears.. I had a mixer which I would use to check levels but its not with me atm :( so the best I do is trail and error, go back, listen, check, compare, and go back.. and repeat.. takes a while, but good practice and training to get better with the mixdown.. other than that thankss.. gonna change up the the wobble, make it more repetitive..
more like.. The Aliens UK,, they are the influence to the track.. do you think I should change the wobble.. ? change up the sound, tone, wave, lfo etc.. ?
Im bad at decisions when it comes like this....
