maybe you should take care about the samples... maybee too much with the one dropping at 2:11? maybe needs something meldoic too? not necessary. but may give it a bit more room.
the drop at 3 minutes is a killa. love it. nice sub too there!
looking forward to hearing the finished track!

Thank you very much! Yeah, I was tired as fuu- so I didn't want to spend more time on it, but yes, I will add more precs for sure - some filthy/wet sounding samples.. drips, drops, broken glasses, w/e
I was kinda worried about what DSF members might think about my intro, because it's not something you commonly hear in Dubstep.
And yes, 1 drop might be enough.. unless the track is like 6mins or more.
But what do you mean "take care about the samples" ? I am really curious what you mean by that.

fuck the dsf members man! dubstep has no 'has to be like' if it feels like dubstep, it's dubstep! and especially with intros, i think you have all the fucking freedom. take it!

naw, what i mean with the sample is, that i have heard your sample many times. in many mixes. i think i even have the same one somewhere. it's a cool one, but it's overused. maybe you should sample an other little jamaican style toasting. just a thought!

btw. you misunderstood me with the drop. i think it's all fine with the drops!

i just came back from partying, so i will feedback later some tracks. right now i would talk just crap


my track:
Soundcloud

i think i will take out the stuff i recorded (''one day in 1961 i wanted to see the sequence again")... somehow it sounds.... dunno bad! i will leave just the ones that lead to a drop such as 0:35 and 1:23
also.. i think i will expand the riddim that drops after 2/3 of the chune. (at 2:56). love that riddim. has somehow more drive than the other one. what you think guys?give me your thoughts!

For a work in progress, sounds kinda tight tbh, sample fits nicely with the tune imo...

would like to hear it wen its finished, drop feedback on my tune init>>> Soundcloud

vulvavibration wrote: heavy one. like it. agree with the bass... could be deepah.
could i have a 320 when finished?

I tried making it deeper, but it started crackling and making a lot of noise..
almost sounded like a burp noise played by a very old record player.
My soundcard is not even a piece of shit.. it's a piece of a piece of shit.
See, I'm not really an active member here, I only started posting in September,
'till then I only experimented with producing, and looked for interesting tips & tricks, etc.
What I mean is I'm not familiar with the music-producer language, for example,
I can only guess what 320 means, but honestly, I don't know.
I think it means the song, but I don't see the relation between the number and the meaning.
Forgive my stupidity.
Thank you though!

Oh, I thought you said too much dropping, but now I know you meant the sample.
I used that sample because that is what came to my mind first - no shit lol - and I never extracted audio from movies, so I wanted to experiment with my holy bible, Fight Club.
I know that too many people love the movie, and that almost every single word in it is overused.. Trust me, it was hard no to sample from Ghost Dog - because Burial did it already.

I think I rather look for a decent classic movie to quote/sample from, so it would suit the intro.. some Jamaican guy's voice would be more random than the fightclub sample - I think even the FC sample doesn't suite a song with an intro like this.
But I feel like the second drop comes in a little too early.. what do you think?

regarding the devo tune..

I agree with whats been said.. the tune is cool, i like the atmospheres but maybe it needs to progress a little more. maybe look to introduce some new sounds, even fx, just to keep the momentum rolling and bring something new to the listener.

Kind of stuck with this tune at the minute, not really sure where to take it next.. any ideas / feedback would be great.

Still in it's early stages I believe, but I wanted to see what you guys think.

don't you see that everybody else first makes a comment/feedback bout other tunes?



@EVERYBODY, it seems to be hard to understand the system of giving and getting, but please just try to do at least 2-3 comments/feedbacks.

few weeks ago it worked better. now i have posted recently 2 chunes. both of them got one or two 2-sentence-feedbacks after pushing it up.

that's really no good for this (actually) great thread.

oops

Yo Grand Master Smash!

http://soundcloud.com/skyh/grand-master-smash

just had a listen bruv. im really feelin the main drop (after 1:23, when lowness kicks in) and i like the way youve fucked with the wobble/bass lead part - the mix is tight too! my only beef with it is the intro. IMO id bring the main lead/wobble in a bit later or shorten the intro; mix it up a bit. i always have that problem.... i can never get the right length intro or make it a decent intro that crescendos into the mother of all drops.

marks out of 2, it'd definately get one!

keep up the good work man

Very nice track! I can imagine it in a movie scene where something is about to go wrong.. maybe a graffiti film or some shit.
There isn't really anything bad I could say about this.. some little things I don't agree with aren't that big of a deal, so it'd be pointless mentioning them.
I like it.. should be in the finished tracks thread though.. would you disagree?

What about mine?
Soundcloud
It was about 6 am when I finished the track, so I better go to sleep asap.. what I really want to say is that the drums will be varied and stuff, so it won't be just 2 beats playing through the whole song; I will get on it later, I just need some rest first.
PS: I'm completely aware that the beginning of the song and the FightClubmovie sample I used are two completely different things, but I'm only experimenting.

yo thanks for your comments mate, no its definitely not finished quite a bit more to do.

I like the music in your intro, I'm interested to know if the crackles are from the original recording or did you put them in there on purpose?

the bassline is heavy, almost too much but I like the variation and yeah the beats could use more percussions and filss/edits.

its got a strong, filmic feel and reminds me of early stuff on reinforced records. nice one.

Thank you! I added the crackles on purpose.
I'm still working on the beats and collecting/recording percussions at this moment.
Thanks again!

hey new tune here. post-halloween kinda creepiness to it. Break/DnB influenced dub. Feedback appreciated

how and where did you do the bass?

you can get an interface. i have the firebox one.
this will solve all your soundcard problems.

320 means a high quality mp3. (320 kbit/s) don't get the wrong message: vinyl goes always first!

Hey everyone, I've just been tinkering around in FL this morning and come up with a little funky/liquid kinda influenced loop here. Feedback more than welcome

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I'm at my girlfriend's house right now, but when I get home I will check out your tracks and give you some quality feedback myself. I've done a bit more to that track since upload, so maybe I'll put the changes up in a couple of days when it is a little bit more polished.

I like what you've done on this tune. 1:58 is great. I'd say what would make this track even better would be to take out some of the drum hits.
