Ok so i have been producing dubstep for about a year or two now and i have exactly eight songs so far, But i'm getting no feedback and it seems that my songs are only sticking around "my area" (my friends, my girlfriend and my family)
Am i mixing wrong? Im one hundred percent that i'm not off tune... Im not off beat... Whats going on? please can you please tell me why i am not getting one bit of feedback... please

My newest track is Soundcloud

Please... If i am the worst producer you have heard please just put me out of my misery all ready.

I work so hard on my drops its not funny.

You're definitely not the worst producer I ever heard. Here's some of the main issues I have with that song.

The intro is far to long. It's about 2 minutes long and there's nothing remotely interesting enough about it to keep me listening through the whole thing. By about the 1 minute mark I'm already ready to turn it off.

The sounds you're using are boring. If you're going to produce this style of music you need to make your bass sound a lot more interesting. As it is your bass is very dry. It sounds like you just used some boring old saw or square waves and that was the extent of the design.

The sounds themselves just don't work well together. None of it felt right at all. You can't just make a bunch of sounds and then smash them together and be done with it. The sounds themselves have to work together.

Honestly though, a lot of the problems you are having right now are common. It's a matter of time and practice. It's only been a year. I know that may seem like a long time but it's not. Most producers that are successful have been doing this for years. You just have to be patient and realize that this isn't going to happen overnight.

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Do you have any specific suggestions on how to make my tracks better?

He just gave you all that and told you what's wrong

Yes i know but i'm still a little confused. Maybe something a little more specific?

There is no specifics man, there's just overall skill level. It needs to go up. You've done this for a short time and finding one secret button in massive isn't gonna fix that. Keep doing what you're doing and eventually it'll get better when your ears improve.

You could read up on the basics of EQ:ing and compression and stuff like that. And I don't mean watch a YT-tutorial, I mean figure out how they work and why they work. Then practice your mixing. Work on your overall sound design.

Just from looking at the waveform you can tell the track is pretty poorly mixed. Look at the spikes, you've got insane peaks. Probably a lot of sound you could cut off from there and get a smoother mix.

But yeah, short story, just keep it up man, you'll get there eventually.

I could brickwall a mix to remove spikes but the track would still be dynamically wrong.
If it's the waveform you're basing your statement off of then you're wrong imo.
Especially not the Soundcloud waveform.

Im not basing it on the waveform... Its just the no feedback factor i guess. ill keep doing what in doing though. Hopefully eventually ill be able to get my grandmother to shit her pants
