@ bunny on acid, i like the overall feel of the track, makes me think of starkey and vex'd, i like the reverse effects in the intro, but i feel sometimes they hinder the flow of the track, but thats just my (probably worthless)opinion. keep up the good work anyway
if you guys mind checkin my latest track and leave some feedback that'll be sweet

Really enjoyed the laid-back feel of this, proper chilled tune.
just a couple of things i'd work on with the drums, a little bit more varation would be nice, and also (and i really never thought i'd say this about dubstep) possibly a tiny bit less shuffle, this has a really downtempo feel, and i think slightly more minimal drums for a lot of it, with fewer, quieter hat details, could help this.
Thanks for that though, nice listen.
@bunny on acid:
The poster above me is spot on, you've got a nice effect there with the reverse, but you've used it a bit too much. Tone it down and add some contrast to it and it (as well as your song as a whole) will be way more effective for it.
My latest is in sig.

@ continuumdnb
thta track sounds nice, i think it would roll better if you added a different hat pattern or make them louder at 1.22, or maybe a ride or something, to really make it nod your head. try some distortion on the bassline aswell, either that or make it completely sub. this is all my opinion, just to try it out. i love the sample btw.
@ cloak and dagger
that is sick!!! reminds of flylo alot, the melodies are too sick, drums are smooth. i really like this, big up!
this ones mine, check it out please! Soundcloud

This is nice! really like the slight sidechain everytime the kick hits, subtle. My housemate digs this one and he don't even like dubstep so good job haha
Anoyone fancy taking a listen to mine would be appreciated and feedback will be returned
Hey, nice track, loving the talking bassline. Drums are gritty and you are really holding on for aaaaaaaaaages to hear the snare snap, its so cool.
Only thing I dislike is the synthy bit that comes in the end, I feel its out of tune with the bassline and doesnt sit well - also if you wanted to switch up the rhythm a bit dropping an incidental drum hit (or other abstract sound) in the chasm between kick and snare would catch people off guard in a good way!
Just the right length song as well

An impressive peice of work there, all the subtle changes and switch ups makes me think its taken you a coiple of weeks to get it all sitting right (although your probs gonna say you knocked it out in an evening now!)
All the buildup, work on the vocal, bubbly sounding synths are amazing - the riser thing happening in the drop is one of the best things I've heard since I've been browsing this forum and the bass itself was lilke being eaten alive all the gurgles and guttural sounds in there.
Only bad thing I can say is that the siren gets annoying in the break in the middle, sits amazing with the bass and should only be played with it (the panning on it works well with the straight up and down bass). Also the ending doesnt really feel like one, seems like there should be another drop after it but its no biggie.

Feedback on this one would be great, again quite short so give it a listen!
Not a bad tune...it has the makings of a really good one but isn't all the way there in my opinion. Here's what I would work on:
- The vocal doesn't quite work in the way it's in there now; it stands out too much, doesn't really have a melody to play off of, and the pitched down stab sounds a bit off. I would expand upon the percussive melody the tune starts with, that has a lot of potential in my opinion.
- The drop is functional but could have more impact...overall, I feel like there needs to be more going on overall in the tune. I'm all for minimal, but the downside to that approach is that every sound will stand out and really needs to be strong enough to stand on its own. Some more little melodies or sounds that accompany what's already in there could really improve it.
- On the technical side, the snare / clap thing stands out a lot more than all of the other percussion...maybe it just needs to be lowered or compressed a little, or maybe the other percussion needs to play off of it a bit more.
Keep it up!

@hooky:
Not really my style of tune, so I'm not sure how valuable my comments would be on it. Overall though, it sounds like you know what you're doing, the arrangement is pretty solid and it always feels like things are changing...a lot of tracks I hear tend to drag on, I like that this one keeps its momentum the whole time.
I would take out the klaxon overall, I don't think it really fits, but at the very least I would use it less.
I also don't think the tune needs the gunshot sound, as it's been done a hundred times before, but that's preference more than anything.
Nice one!

thanks for the feedback man, glad you took the time! i think your right about the minimal feel, i think im gonna add some subtle percussions or pads to add more depth to it.
thanks

I disagree, I liked it all how it was... Future Garage feel through and through, deserves its shuffle
