why didnt you just upload it to zippy share? I'm listening on a laptop right now, but it sounds as if you have a lack of mid freq in your drop, as well as lack of melodic concept for the drop. im not expert but try to give it more of a melodic flow, and no i don't mean take out the wobbles, but use a progression amongst them

Don't bass boost it, you'll just make it clip. Do you actually have a sine wave synth in there at all? Cos I seriously can't hear any bass other than the kick drums...

Really messy mixdown. Far too much mids and highs, bass sounds weak as shit. Is there any sub in this?

Bass still sounds weak... can I ask what speakers you're using to produce this?

O.o ): i guess i cant please everyone... whatever :/

im listening with Sony EarPlugs. Idk what model, but its one of the $40 ones. And they have really good quality and bass. I mean.. it sounds good to me and everyone i show it too, and asking their opinion. But i guess its not as good as i thought then ..

well thanks for the honest opinions then.. i guess...

Well there's you're problem, they most definitely do not have very good bass. I'm guessing you're pretty young, as are the people you're showing it to (correct me if I'm wrong). When you're producing you should at least be using some quality full-size headphones or a hi-fi system with a sub, but preferably some studio monitors. It sounds like you've never heard real sub bass, cos if you think your track is properly bassy then you've got another thing coming lol

just keep working at it man, all it takes is time and experience to learn music production, just keep at it and u will start to develop different techniques to make ur tracks sound better, the hardest part about producing is getting every instrument of every channel to sit in the mix perfectly, and without professional mastering techniques and equipment its really hard to get that professional quality

Im 15. I started making dub in september of last year. I mean im pretty good for the length of time im i've been working. Its not like i have years and years of experience like some of you people. I used to screw around in FL since i was about 8 years old. But now i got serious.

This was my first real song ever
Soundcloud


But like seriously, i dont appreciate the brutal remarks your saying against my work bro, like i'm just here to get better, and its not cool for you to just be saying basically that i suck.

It sounds to me like maybe his earphones DO majorly amp the bass, so they're giving him a misrepresentation of how much bass is actually in his mix. Hence it sounds legit on his bass-boosting earphones. And some pc's have sound drivers with bass boosting options or eq presets that could be screwing with his mix.

For fuck's sake dude, you don't get it. I understand, you're new to this. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna be honest. The sub-bass sounds weak, that's just how it is. I didn't say that to bring you down or as a personal attack, it's just feedback.
Listen to this for example:


That's proper sub bass, the track you asked for feedback on basically had none. If you're making bass music with no bass that's something you need to be told.

As for your 'Concept of Destiny' track, the weird thing about it is that there's quite a bit of sub BEFORE the drops (you can see it in the Soundcloud waveforms cos it peaks there), but then when the actual drop hits there's none. You can choose not to listen to me, but if you really want to become a better producer then you have to listen to the criticisms and advice as well as the 'OMG SIKK DROPZ BRO' comments.

No one's bashing you, god damn you're paranoid. As for putting in a secondary sub bass or whatever, make sure you never have multiple frequencies close to eachother below like 80hz, cos they'll mess eachother up. That includes kick drums. If you just throw in a sub alongside those kickdrums they'll lose power, so you'd be better to filter out the low end in the kicks whenever you have a sub running
