Well, this is a first...
I'm trying my hand at dubstep. So far, I like it, but I definitely need some help.

Anyone? :D

It's not a bad start, some nice sounds. I just feel it needs more impact and needs to build that half beat dubstep feel. Maybe try adding a nice full power kick and a big reverberant snare alternately on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar (that's assuming you're already at a tempo around 135bpm?)

I say just start with that if that all makes sense and see how it evolves from there?

Thanks! I'm glad to know that I'm off to a good start. I'll be sure to upload an update as soon as possible.

Update! :D

Not a D-step fan BUT I can appreciate what you've done here. Nice, Crisp and not overly... Dubsteppy. Decent and effective.

Thanks! I'm thinking of submitting this.

Finished the tune. Would love some good critique.

I really like the overall groove you have going on here. It's really upbeat and got me into the song quickly. There are enough change-ups throughout to keep things interesting too.

Now a few critiques... the dubstep elements throughout sound pretty weak. The bass in particular, feels reserved and bland. It needs something more to make it pop. Not sure if it's the sample or how you're doing the effects, but it just doesn't feel as "in your face" as I would expect from the genre.

The lead synth could use some filter lovin' as well. It sounds like it could be EQed a bit better so it has a crisper, cleaner sound. Also some additional LFO effects, like vibrato, tremolo, or some pitch bends, could serve it well to make it sound more dynamic. I hear some of that going on already, but I feel it could use more.

Overall though, I enjoyed this. Nice job.

Thanks! Just the advice I needed. I'll be sure to go over this again in a few days. *I'm a little tired of listening to it, lol*

Anyway, this one's a smaller update. I changed some of the lead and percussion, but not a noticeable amount.

Another update. To be honest, I'm starting to hate the entire execution and feel I should just start over...
