I feel completely stuck on this track (Chance Time), and would love some feedback.

Sounds like needs a stronger bassline bro. Are you wanting a wobble or just real chilled kinda sub bass through the whole thing?

Also want feedback on mine please someone :). Anything to add? I need more variation, but other than that?.

do you think the bass is to soft for this track not enough distortion maybe?

Thanks for the input! I'll return the favor. :wink:

It's a solid track(I especially like the snare), but you hit the nail on the head about it needing more variation. I'd consider trying to pull apart some of the individual drum elements to create some builds part way through and perhaps even glitch some of them for good measure.

I'd also think about drawing in the wobble as automation in your DAW rather than just altering the LFO rate over measures. It's a little time consuming, but can spice things up. Good luck, man.

My attempt at a nice mellow track inspired by the great Robert Miles,
Still in the work in progress stage nees more effects, eqing and a little tender love.

Recon HxDb doing a remix of this tune, so so epic tune.

sound very nice to me what youve done so far, (dont know if you allready have thought about it) but i'd love if you just soaked the piano in reverb, normally i wouldnt use that much reverb but in this case i think it would fit so much better in the mix, especially when theres reverb on the drums to.



speaking of reverb heres a new tune of mine in which i actually used a pretty lot of reverb, its actually done but not mastered yet, would like to know if theres anything i could do better before i get i mastered.
Turn up the volume its mixed fairly low.

Thanks, it's only my second tune so still learning :)

Ok, your tunes sounding nice from what i hear so far although a little quiet?
And maybe you could add a bit more to the bassline cos it seems to repeat alot IMO, and possibly in the second drop really mix it up but not so much as to turn it into a different track alltogether.
Apart from that it's sounding nice IMO but I'm no expert ;)

Got a new tune I'm working on, first attempt at a proper wobbler, would be really interested in what you guys think. Its not my usual bag but I think its going quite well so far.

Constructive critisizm welcome, be brutal if it really is crap, otherwise tips and advice would be much appreciated :)

do you mean that i should do something to the sound of the bass, or just add some more patterns for variation?

quietness is because i saved Db for mastering, its gonna go up to normal level when mastered

Bass is fine I think, more variation or add a synth melody over the top maybe?
I don't have the jist of mixing or mastering atall yet I'm trying to leanr how to do frequencies in Reason, proving a stumbling block for me at the moment, could do with some help on this "hint hint" ;)
Although too much could ruin it

i guess you mean equalizing when you say "learn frequenzies",
what i know, ive learned from this thread:
http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=74832
and from the EQ section in the dubstep production bible, and im not done reading any of them yet as im not the biggest reader, im trying along with reading them, works for me, though im to slack sometimes.

I like it man, levels could do with a tweak, I reckon more bass wouldn't go a miss, and maybe replicate that bassline an octave down to make it more deep and subby? Other than that I like it, nice sample :)

Any chance of some feedback on my tune a few posts back :wink:

Yeah I know about that it's just, the mixer on Reason doesn't el as it doesn't give an indication as to how the frequencies are. I know you can get a general idea off using bv-15's but still you don't get a great view on what exact frequencies they're playing on.

oh, okay. dont really know anything about reason, tried it in a short period of time then resold my copy to return to fl studio, thought fl studio was the reason my tunes were sounding weak, back then i didnt know about gain structure and EQ so i wouldnt care about the problem youre talking about. :D sorry mate cant help you.

Cheers for taking a listen man. The wobble in this is really cool actually, I fnd half the challenge with wobble basslines is 'visualising' the way itll sound through a big club system and this feel like it'd translate great.

The two things I'd mention are the breakdown, which builds to a cool second drop but feels sort of aimless through that section, and perhaps the percussion could do with a little more going on to keep the track moving - it is pretty minimally constructed after all.
