Its been a while since an original, so we pulled one out of our ass last night.

Download is available on the SC as always.
Enjoy!

Breakdown leading into the first dubstep part is pretty sweet. Like the track a lot overall. Very unique sounding, and has a catchy tune outside of the dubstep.

**Coolboyrulez0** · 02-10-2011, 07:09 PM

if this is made with massive i dont see how you can obtain sounds that rich out of that program. haha

Proper work again, also enjoy the mainstream-y yet appropriate autotuned vocals. Nice touch.

Also, that drum fill/solo has to be one of the most unique fades into a drop I have ever heard nice.

My beef with this is the high-frequency based master... more emphasized mids and low frequencies would most likely be a nicer final outcome.

**silentoath** · 02-10-2011, 07:29 PM

Thanks guys!
& yeah coolboy i was thinking the same, but i have a nack for always bringing out the highs i dont know why. I'm gunna prolly remaster if it ever goes on a EP or something, but for now its not too bad.
Im still kind of new to mastering in logic pro, but Il get it eventually haha.

**Coolboyrulez0** · 02-10-2011, 07:35 PM

Sorry for not asking earlier but we do have permission to use your songs for FFR, right?

I would like to attempt to make some stepcharts for FFR if it's alright with you... the remixes you made are permission-wise okay also, right?

**silentoath** · 02-10-2011, 07:39 PM

Yeah i made a blanket thread a while back haha knock yourself out! ;D

*edit I dont know FFR's thing with remixs but like im obviously okay if you do it haha.

**hazard28** · 02-10-2011, 07:42 PM

Sounds great~! Love how you incorporated alot of different styles into one dubstep track. Sick work.

**Emo_Saur_** · 02-10-2011, 07:55 PM

I liked it a lot, I replayed it after the first time I heard it. Y'know a song is good when you'd not mind listening to it back to back.

Man i can't even count the backs now. haha

**zajac** · 02-11-2011, 12:31 AM

Good track, but definitely sounded like it was pulled out of your ass lol

I mean that in the nicest way possible, but I felt that the synthwork could have sounded a lot tighter, and not as muddy and bland. You've definitely got better sounds in some of your other tracks. This one just didn't seam to have a theme to it, or anything to grab my attention.

Still 6 or 7 out of 10 though. Keep up the good work

**duddychuck@yahoo.com** · 02-11-2011, 12:39 AM

Very nice ._.

**virus003** · 02-11-2011, 12:41 AM

Basically, after the 2:02 mark it was the best ****in shit ever. Great track

**silentoath** · 02-13-2011, 01:29 AM

Thanks alot guys!

&zajac you break my heart dude haha.

**Magic_V2** · 02-13-2011, 01:34 AM

Listened to it yesterday; forgot to reply.
I enjoyed this very much. If there were a sub-genre of dubstep devoted entirely to this sound, I would be rockin' it 24/7! Great work.

ddrxero64 · 02-15-2011, 09:48 AM

Definitely an interesting song.

I think some of the sounds could have been a bit polished, sounds rushed. A bit of "proofreading" by others would have probably inspired a couple of other ideas as well.

As for coolboyrulez's comment on the drumfill drop, agreed 100%. That is probably the highlight of the song for me. If the build up to the drop was a little more intense, that would have been an "OHHHH" moment for me.

Solid job for me. 7/10

**rushyrulz** · 02-15-2011, 03:08 PM

brb, changing my undies.
8/10. Could have been so much grungier

LogicalDefiance · 02-17-2011, 06:58 AM

I would try to set up a little more tonality, especially something like an authentic cadence at the drop instead of just a minor third from voice to bass. Once the bass kicks in, the tonality can pretty acceptably go to hell. Agreeing with Zajac on the tightness of the mix, and coolboy with the possibly undermixed lows in the main bassline. Really all small things that most can play up to being just personal taste more then anything.

Otherwise, this being the first piece I've heard from you, it has some pretty wicked sounds in it. The 6 tom break into the bass was really reminiscent of this song which uses the same technique. I was obsessed with that type of drop for a while and ended up using it in a bunch of pop music made for some films. Fun stuff!

Haha Music Theory FTW. Good advice though, definitely worded some of the people's thoughts into usable advice. Nice post.

**xealix** · 02-17-2011, 10:59 AM

I think this is awesome. Great job

I would listen to this.

Claudi · 02-20-2011, 04:55 AM

Imo a bit too messy even to dubstep, still liked it though

I'm sure I could hear HeWhoShallNotBeNamed - Ghosts N Stuff sounds somewhere there, thumbs up!
