    http://soundcloud.com/customstuff/untitled-work-in-progress

    A new dubstep song I'm working on. It's almost done, but I'm putting it up as a work in progress because I want to hear some opinions and suggestions on it! Thanks for your thoughts.

      Re: Dubstep Track (Work in Progress)

      Thank you! This came from almost 5 hours total of work including modifying sounds in Sytrus

      I do like it myself, but I'm not 100% sure about 1:22, where it switches into the robot/alien sound. The change in pitch sounds somewhat awkward to me, but making them match makes the sound completely un-natural

      I'm glad you like it! I'm up for whatever I can do to make this as good as I can!

        Nice song. What program did you use? And how much experience do you have?

        For a dubstep song, it seems unusually slow, haha. It's slower than most dubstep I'm used to at least. The sound you used is very original though. I think it seems like a foundation for a dubstep song, like something (or some things) is/are missing.

        I would suggest some added sounds to vary it up. Things such as quick vocal clips that blend well, and offbeat sounds that add to the main sound you're using. Make it a little more spontaneous versus predictable.

        I apologize for not having all the vocab, I don't work with the equipment, but I have a friend in college majoring in Music Production so my advice is generally based on my listening experience.

        I do like the switch at 1:22. I know many songs that have those kind of switches, not just dubstep. Hmm. Take Imma Be by the Black Eyed Peas for example. Nowhere near dubstep but the switch makes the song even better.

            It is the same tempo, but I'm sure it would sound more normal if I added in some extra sounds to fill up some space. I only have FL Studio 9 to work with, and I've had a lot of experience in general, just not with dubstep. It's a pretty difficult genre to produce. Thank you for taking time to help give me tips on everything, it really is appreciated!

                I find it fits well at the beginning, but then it doesn't sound as great at 0:55.

                  My friend who produces music has used FL studio for a long time. He has produced an experimental dubstep track with FL Studio. I don't know if I should do this, but he'll never know. :P



                  He is very big on dubstep, but he produces mainly electro house. I think he works on deadmau5-esque songs at the moment because they're a little easier to produce, not to mention he feels that he doesn't have enough professional equipment to produce well rounded dubstep songs. Once he starts to acquire more equipment, including a sound system that will handle the bass a lot better, he will most likely experiment with dubstep again.

                    sounds pretty sweet but some synths and drums need improvement.

                    would be nice if you could send me the .flp so I can maybe mess around with it / remix it

                          If you send the midi export to polishpat@gmail.com, I'd like to take a crack at doing a remix as well

                          I'll write up a little review here in a bit.

                            O.o

                            WAT

                            I've never actually exported a file into midi but I'm 99% sure I know how, ahaha. I can't believe you want to. I will do that ASAP!

                            Edit: Actually, I'll fix up my newer version and send you that. I'm thinking of calling it Invasion, but if that sounds lame I'll think of something else xD


                            (I was working on it more myself, but I'll send you that version right away!)
