You've got to work the whole thing up into the context of a mix -- and I want a track on the mix -- and yes I will rework it, but I'm not putting breaks every 16th - I want the mid-mix., where the f are we going bit. And the answer is: we're going f'ing nowhere.

That's quite slick. Doesn't sound like anything else either.

Posted this yesterday but there were a few problems with. This is my latest one called Hydro, completed in about 12 hours yesterday (and assisted by plenty of drink ). Its got a dark bassline with quite a sombre mood to it.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

I think the first ten seconds are really f'ing great. That bit has a really great drive to it. I think you break it by bringing in the melodic elements too soon. All the melodic bits sound good (I really like the strings) - I think you've got two different kinds of tune there. The melodic bits belong to a light and airy type track. The intro belongs to a completely different beast altogether. Something darker and less melodic.

I think......You know what I think..... I think you were mixing your drinks. Like Guinness, cider, and then finishing off on some of those fruit flavoured beverages the ladies like.

This is something I'm working on - it's really rough. With lots of bits that don't make sense.


http://soundcloud.com/meltfunction/rough-edit-this-is-getting

Started out with the intention of making hardcore - lost control of the hoovers and ended up with something else - which is more like dirty electro.

It's got Sean Nash's kick and his hi-hat, and his snare.

Hi krd, I have never really listened to a lot of electro or hardcore but I think it probably needs a dirtier bassdrum and maybe some impacts after the buildbups.

I'm going to throw the kitchen sink at it. I haven't listened to it through decent speakers yet. I don't even know what the kick really sounds like

I've already added some more cheese to it - I think it needs more cheeze. It needz more cheez.

My take on some wobbly Dub step - should have done a bit more production but fawk it. Used the Sumo - I think it works.

http://soundcloud.com/meltfunction/noobian-up-again-down-again

Saw a joke on a Dubstep forum.

Q: How do you cut up Emo vocals?
A: You don't. They cut themselves up.

This is the 100th page!!!

To be honest if you change up the basswork you are on your way to having a rather nice tune. I'd combine it with a fat sub, and use a mild delay on an intermittent occurance of the midrange bassline you are currently using. Some of the drum work is really very nice.

Yeah. I should have done a lot more with it. Only I don't know how to do the dubstep mid range basses properly yet - I've been spending a few days trying to get the sounds - I have a few of them but haven't perfected them or got the techniques down - I didn't do any fancy panning - there's good few tricks I'd like to try. Didn't do an subs - because I haven't bothered hooking up my decent speakers.

I might give it another try in a few days - or weeks.

I really like some of though sounds.

It's crying out for some risers - sirens, even a little hoover.

New track finally up, I've been working on this one for a while.

I have been writing for computer game soundtracks for a few years now, along with short films so I decided to mix the two styles together.

Here it is: http://soundcloud.com/decitronic/the-golems-of-bracada-final-1

I recently started working on a dubstep track with a live orchestra which will hopefully be performed closer to the end of the year so that'll be one to watch out for but this track is more traditional.

I'm pretty proud of this track, although I'm not sure how people will take to the structure as I tried to keep it somewhat unconventional to keep the listener interested and I also tried to blend quite a bit of heaviness with very much atmospheric mellowness. The sitar and flute are probably my favourite parts of the entire track [although the tempura, while pretty unhearable, really adds some lovely texture to the overall piece].

I'd really enjoy some feedback on the track, constructive critism is something I need badly! I was recently in computer music magazine and have been making my way up in the world a bit so hopefully some of you will enjoy the track enough to download it and throw it on to your mp3 player.

Surprising structure is fine and interesting. Lots of Dubstep has elements from all kinds of different music. You may not even recognise it as Dubstep until it drops. (where the dubstep bass and drums kick in).

Here goes.

Your drums are definitely too low in that mix. And they're also closer to Guns&Roses November Rain than to dubstep.

Dubstep drums are like Hip hop meets Reggae - with strong influences of Drum&bass/jungle. (DnB or dnb is originally sped up hip-hop break beats) - Dubstep is a half-time. 140bpm with a back beat (snare) usually on the 3.

There's a reggae lollup to the music. A pimp roll to it.


Your bass melody is being played too straight forward. You should be warping it out a bit, making it slide and legato. It's also crucial it makes rhythmic sense with the kicks. It should seem to move in and out of time. Poke in and out. You can also make it more intense by making it disappear and re-appear.


Listen to this a few times. You should start noticing a common thread.

And save the narratives about wizards on quests for psychedelic trance tracks. Dubstep kids do not read Lord of the Rings....or The Hobbit.

Decitronic

Thanks a million for the great feedback, I'll definitely sort out the drums. As for the bassline, I know what you mean. I think I might have the highest synth staying the same with the rest moving in and perhaps.

Oh and for the concept behind it I put that there as the track was wrote as a tribute to an old computer game and the description was for people from the game's forums etc to read as it was interesting to them. I generally don't do that sort of thing but I thought I may as well leave it in as it added something to it for the people who could relate.

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

I think it's reached saturation point with this sort of dubstep and I don't think it's really adding anything to your tune. It makes it sound very cliched when the dubstep parts kick in. For good atmospheric dubstep you should check out the likes of ASC, Martyn and Scuba or listen to the likes of Dave Clarke's Rhapsody in Red. Dubstep doesn't have to be about powertool bass. You should also check out the likes of Horsepower Productions whose garage sound was a precursor to dubstep and who incorporated a lot of cinematic elements in their tunes.

The other elements come off as a bit disparate when they are interrupted by the dubstep parts but if there was a bit more flow they could tie well together. Hope this doesn't come off too harsh!

Cheers for free feedback mate, always appreciated. Don't worry it's not too harsh!

What do mean specifically with the first sentence though? I think I might be picking it up wrong!

I'll check out those artists tomorrow when I'm around a computer with a half decent connection [currently on mobile broadband].

I originally was going to have the parts flowing but I ended up trying to dynamically contrasting but perhaps I overdone it [particularly near the end].

It is true though, I have not really brought much new to the table although I did try to do it with the instrumentation and the overall feel of parts but I guess it was probably not that original at all [I need to spend more time listening to music which is something I'm working on these days, it's pretty easy to get tied up in production and listening to tracks you already know!].

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I'll get listening to your new tracks tomorrow also, cheers again!

I just mean if you go onto soundcloud or any other site like that and search for dubstep 99% of it is going to be the same beat with the same wobbly power drill bass. It's starting to smother any of the more interesting stuff out there and putting people off the genre. You have some interesting stuff going on in your tune but when it goes into the dubstep parts it becomes a bit reductive. Just think about you think you could do in those parts that might give it a more interesting twist.

Bit of a mad song, the intro part will probably be another song when I put it together as an EP...

Didn't like the second one, but liked the Abacus track. Reminded me a bit of the Black Dog with the tribal drums in it. I'd beef up the main kick and snare, or maybe even change their samples altogether, they sound a bit light for the track. It'd sound better with a 909 kick and snare sample probably and might suit the track more.
