why does no one like dub??? pshhhaw!

^ Dubstep for the most part involves "wobbly noises" every few seconds
Maybe because of that? xD

updated and added to my newest. link in my sig. ^^

It's getting better, it's really starting to sound like a song now : D.
The effect that you use from 1:50 onwards is very random though. Also you should be careful with hat and snare drums. They're pretty loud in your song, which produces a really annoying tss sound. Maybe it's just me but hearing that too much gives me headaches

I also think it might be a little bit too long for it's own good, but if you're going for trancestep that might be the whole idea

i always did have trouble deciding on a genre. lol. but the snare in dub songs is supposed to be *smash*, however, the hat, i can decrease the volume... but, i kinda like it, makes it harder. i'll do some experiments with it though.

gotta add some more trancey shit, but once again, my computer limits my patience as far as actual work on the song goes. probably do more on it tonight.

what're you gonna do about the computer anyway? did your old one get confiscated as evidence or something ? can't you ask the police for a refund and a backup?

just gonna have to build myself a new machine, my shit was lost when i was arrested. taken because i was unable to pay rent from jail. lol.

Really liking Dubsit atm..im trying to make my own atm, but not gonna much far than one track(as in one set of beat)..lol

thanks bro, and hey, keep working, and post it when you are done, i love checking out other artist's stuff. good luck!

here i go again, the boredness winnnnssss...

Oh wow. That one actually sounds pretty good : D
I mean there's some sounds and timings and stuff that need fixing, but it's going in the right direction

You'd add some more variation in the volume -- at some time put the bass up a bit, later drums up or smth like this. Right now it's all the same volume, which makes it a little bit boring. Except for that it's great!

thanks, i am really liking the new one as well. not sure what i am gonna do to it tonight, but i will make some changes and post. thanks all!

changed and added a lil bit to it...

i think i am about as done as i am gonna get with diddle now... i personally think it is one of, if not my best track ever. hehe. I may have a friend throw a flow over it, or i may sing over it... not sure yet, but as of now, i am calling it complete.

thoughts?

Honestly.. I think it's pretty damn good. But can you make it a little bit faster?

I'll be straightforward this time, since I can't really offer you advice on how to improve it, just what to improve.

- Missing a leading wubwub (you have a rhythmic wubwub, but none that really takes the lead (which is kinda to be expected of any form of dubstep?)(unless you don't want one for trancestep?(but then I find this to be too close to an incomplete dubstep then a complete trancestep)(wow, that's a lot of ()'s))
- 1:10 is a bad transition
- Still no drop
- the stuff at 2:37 need an extra note, 3 notes seems insufficient.
- 3:12 this stuff seems out of place. too many tunes going on at the same time, and I don't think a bagpipe is very suitable for dubstep :/
- For once Blackfox is right, it really could use some speed.

Hm I liked it, but like inky said i wouldnt really call it Dubstep. I expected a drop around 1:27

like inky said 1:10 was not a good transition

Overall i liked it, thought it was a very nice beat, but im somewhat new to electro/techno so im not sure what genre youd call it

I'm not inky

Yeah at the start of diddle it seems like a drop is coming but then nothing special happens.

well, i am currently in the process of adding lyrics with a friend of mine, after that i will perfect it further.


what exactly do you all want as far as a drop goes?

oi oi, a song is your own, not your fan's (or w/e cathegory we would fall under ). It's not up to us what drop you make.
anything is fine, as long as it takes the lead. Just don't go all skrillex on us (because skrillex is for show, not for content).
Also, no offence to your friend, but adding in vocals is risky. Although they could improve your music, chances are greater that they'll butcher it instead (example: SHM - one). So yeah... you'll have to be very critical of your friend if you want to make sure it's good.

Sorry I am unable to listen to your music at the moment, as I haven't got my laptop and I am just using my phone. But I will when I get a chance to.

P.s answer your pm

just did a new one...

no bassline? :[

i am having real issues with my computer... i will add more to it... soon. lol.

Personally, when I think of dubstep, this is what comes to my mind

Code: Select all

Dubstep features lots of styles. That one is pretty active. There's also some pretty calm dubstep like this.

This is probably closer to what he's aiming for, but to begin with he stated that he's trying for something else, a new genre (which he decided to call trancestep ).

right-0, trancestep ftw. hehe.

that one you just posted is bad Farking ass.

This is probably one of my favorite "slow" dubstep songs.
