Made this song in a couple of hours on Reason 5, would appreciate any feedback

Soundcloud

Pad could be louder in the intro, now that guitary riff @ 0.29 is nice, but dose get a little repetitive, maybe switch it up a little bit more. The sub level is good, but you might be able to push it just a tiny bit louder. That pause is huge man, I really liked that bit. The tune seems to be a little bit empty, like it could do with one, or two more elements, but I can't put my finger on what they are, maybe some more reverb, or delays, just don't go crazy with it.

Yea 3za's pretty on the ball with this one, I agree with him, guitar's lovely but a tad repetitive, the pads are wonderful - this could be something very special if you put some more work into it, the vocal sample for me doesn't do a lot, I think you could find a much more fitting piece of vocal work, to do the track justice, to me it sounds like something you'd get free with your daw, it doesn't do the tune justice imo. This could be an awesome tune man.

Cheers lads, experimented with a few little wobbly bits but it sounded pretty dire to be fair. Im stumped on what to add to the tune next might try layering the guitars to fill it out that little bit more. Cheers for your advice, much appreciated

Added some changes to the song now, decided to use another guitar and add another pad

I really like everything except the vocal, which I'm really not a fan of. The rest of the song is excellent- exactly the sort of style I listen to (and try to write). I think some small vocal stabs with a lot of verb+delay could fit if you really want some voice work in there but I think even if all you do is take out the current sample you'll have an excellent tune on your hands.

Cheers mate, any good places for vocals? having trouble finding ones that would fit the song.

I listen to a lot of not dubstep, and always keep half an ear out for any samples, vocal or not. You'd be surprised at what ends up fitting when you fuck about with it enough (my latest song has kaskade's voice on it believe it or not, even though it sounds more like a man).

Yeah really like this one. I didn't find the guitar riff too repetitive myself, but can see where the others are coming from. This could be easily remedied with some form of counter melody. I also think the vocal fits the track very well, it provides some quite pleasant bluesy tonal dissonance, but try splicing it and pitch shifting still just to get a bit more variation.

its a nice track man...a little repetitive...should probably add more instruments like maybe strings or something. Also drums are a little inactive....pardon my stupidity, but what makes this dubstep? Just asking
