Hehe Thanks :3 I got a never WIP one on my soundcloud with bass and everything.

Just received Replacer's vocals. Gotta do a little Melodyne and mixing on the track itself, maybe add a few instruments and improve the mastering, and then I think we're almost done.

Alright, new WIP with vocals. Since I utterly fail when it comes to mixing them, I need some major feedback. The structure isn't changing though, I composed it like this on purpose.

Here it is a WIP of Dubstep / DNB song that I'm doing, it's pretty well made technically, but the song is still not completely finished. Tell me what could be done better by what you hear.

Enjoy!

Edit:
What happened to build up before dubstep / chip tune drop? It sounds completely retarded , I have to fix it a bit. :roll:

I think this WIP is good, with some strange song structure. (Which I like)
I don't really know if I find something I can complain about in this song, I know that something is missing and the sound quality is not quite at the top. But I cannot describe what is wrong. So I'll leave it to someone else who is better than me to give feedback.

Alycs · **Posted:** 04 Mar 2013 09:57

@Glitchhog: The vocals need to be a bit louder in respect to the rest of the song. While I could hear them, at no point in the song could I have told you what they actually said with any sort of accuracy.

Also, I still agree with the commenter on the track, I think the first drop is still a bit of a letdown. It just needs another sound to make it a little fuller. As it is, the bass seems really flat, and needs some sort of boost. Maybe a supersaw playing the same notes underneath it would work.

The structure is nice, and I like the melody, and other than those two things, I really like it.

----
Here are two WIP tracks I'm working on right now (The first was going to be my original submission, but after I started working on the background music for the video, I decided to expand the song into a full length version [and kinda abondoned the first so they both have weird things yay])

Could I get some critiques, suggestions, complains, comments, or thoughts on either of them (or both), I haven't really had much in the line of anything to help me along with them yet, other than one person on the Skype chat say that the first one needed more bass (that was three edits ago, so....)

still working on it but still tryin to figure out what the song needs

Glitchhog · **Posted:** 04 Mar 2013 10:51

Cheers for the feedback guys! I'll get the vocals [done] tomorrow, and modify that damn bass some more. I liked the saw idea.

Fixed.

Alright, my last-ditch effort. The first drop is pretty much to my liking; minimal, but hopefully 'fat' enough. I have 4 separate basses, a saw and a 'fattened' Zedd-style (3 more basses) playing at once and I don't see what adding more would really do. It sounds clicky without any bass, so laptop speakers and cheap headphones probably won't pick much up, but that goes for most electronic music.

The vocals were mastered by Koroshi-Ya, and I have to say, he's done a much better job than I did. I'm pretty close to finalizing things, so any last criticism would be helpful. I can't really help the vocals if they're difficult to understand, as it's just the way he sang them. I can't make any adjustments to them without making things sound worse.

The vocals sound tons better! Now I can tell whats being said, and I really like it. The bass sounds a lot better too. Good job fixing that up. Also, with the vocals fixed up, everything past 2:21 sounds absolutely amazing. I really can't criticize anything about it, now.

My only complaint (vocals aside) are that it seems like during the quiet sections, the bass sounds like its too low an octave to actually get reproduced or heard. I could be wrong, but thats what it sounds like. I would try two things: bring a couple of the oscillators up an octave or two, or (If Im wrong and it has nothing to do with how low it is) add some sine waves in there to fatten up the bottom end, OR just eq boost the lows (or cut the highs). Not really sure how else to explain that, sorry if it doesnt make sense. Anyways, the track is otherwise great, I love the pluck especially. Good luck

Hm, the low end sounds fine on my end. The chorus, I'm still very unhappy with. (Well, the entire song isn't really my proudest moment, rather.) I'll keep trying to improve things in the meantime, but I'm not too delighted with it at all if I'm honest.

Glitchdog, notice how both parts are so very different volume level-wise. You need to fix this.

Here is more of the Prog song.
The last part remains, starting recording on saturday.
If something is wrong, please tell me.

Should be done now. I'm uploading a new version.

EDIT: I just adjusted the music, the vocals haven't be altered at all. The chorus is now at regular volume. imo, it sounds far better.

Finally! Something to show for my efforts.

I think Ima make a track for this ^__^

Mr. Bigglesworth · **Posted:** 06 Mar 2013 21:07

I might make something for this after all. No promises, deadlines kill my creativity.

Alycs · **Posted:** 06 Mar 2013 21:24

You have like two and a half months, no pressure man.

Glitchhog · **Posted:** 06 Mar 2013 21:58

I'm gonna start a new track now that this one is more or less finished (it still needs touching up, but it's pretty much complete.) Less experimentation, more House.

EDIT: Numbah two. Done in about 20 mins, not sure whether I should finish it.

Wait.

You're Strobe?

Cool.

As for me, I might do some house of my own, since that's now what I do. I might post a potential song up here soon.
