I feel like you should reduce the bass boost on the bass whenever it reaches really low notes so that the actual notes can be better differentiated when it's playing by itself. Also, the piano feels like it could be humanized with a bunch of velocity edits. Even though you played with a MIDI keyboard, you may not have played it exactly how you wanted it. Here's your chance to edit it! If you want a very dynamic piano plugin, try to get 4Front TruePianos if you can. The parts with lone claps seem... low quality. Try layering the claps with something else; I usually only have claps as a high frequency layer to my snares.

Can someone give new feedback on the V3? (This was bumped six times.)

This is a really cool heavy metal song of mine. http://www.box.com/s/ysngkjl300vndoyfz2b7 Slightly influenced by Bullet For My Valentine. My friend likes that band.

I feel like the snare's really lacking the punch. Try layering a low end to it. The reverb is a bit much on the panned synths. Try making them slightly more legato instead. Also, try thinking about what fits and what doesn't. Take out any unnecessary instruments that wouldn't make a difference if they weren't there. For example, if an instrument can't be heard, why have it there to clog up the frequency spectrum? Your remix is really heavy in the mids. The bass frequencies are really only occupied by the kick, and it's really intense in a slightly bad but not so demeaning way. Try EQing this song more. Add a bass to be sidechained, then fix the EQ on the kick just a bit so it isn't giving anything lower than a frequency of 63 Hz. A kick would best work through a notch filter if you want it to be heard. The last thing I feel needs to be fixed is the repetitiveness. Try to have a feel for where your song's going. Plan out what you want to be your intro, body, A section, B section, and outtro. That might help.

Nope, it's not a rendering problem. I guess I didn't think of the wrong synth instance. It's definitely different now. Also, I checked the amount of Previews on the V2 remix. There aren't any. My mistake, I put the wrong link. This is the right link for the V2. http://www.box.com/s/4s9fozqlalgkjiegl0ak (V2) I updated it again though. It should be more ambient, especially in the beginning. This is the V3: http://www.box.com/s/rqst0627bl2760nog65v

The final version! http://www.box.com/s/b7h77s28qz22z4i2fcpg

Sweet! I'm glad the guitar sounds real enough. xD The final update I'm going to do is make the fret slide lead-in pan, amp it up just a tiny bit more, and modify the guitar's wah a bit more with an MSEG. ;D

Here it is! http://www.box.com/s/8v003g7l050s5u1xrn4b - V6.5

I didn't mind changing it. I just didn't know where you meant until just then. I guess I could just change the instrument there. Electric Blues Guitar, anyone? http://www.box.com/s/8v003g7l050s5u1xrn4b - V6.5

Yes, I have EQ'd everything. A lot, actually. And someone already has told me to lessen the vibrato; I had done that also. I appreciate your trying to help me, but most of the things you've said so far were already established. :/ I will try lowering the bass's mix level some more. http://www.box.com/s/dqg1bsr78xzyfdhmkire - V6.2

Okay! I can't do everything you suggest though, because some of them I tried, but it didn't create as good an effect as if I left it alone. http://www.box.com/s/mgnjksv7ukvgeij2n7tg - V6.0 The reason the bassline is like that is because someone suggested its notes to be more dynamic.

I thought I got rid of it already. I guess I picked the wrong one? Or maybe you didn't listen to the V2? Either way, couldn't I just modify it? =/

Here's my updated V2. http://www.box.com/s/4s9fozqlalgkjiegl0ak (V2)

Okay. Thanks for the feedback!

This is sounding really nice! I also feel the kick is a bit strong. Try cloning that kick, putting a Low Pass filter on one, a Low Shelf filter on the other, and lowering the frequency on both to maybe about 200 Hz. I partially agree with DarkSim. A thick saw coming in would be quite effective, but maybe you could additionally adjust its resonance so that it won't be so piercing. Maybe some vibrato on the saw would be really cool too.

It's quite good so far, actually. I would suggest you to widen the main bass and perhaps amp it up a smidge. The snare could have a bit of a High Shelf filter to give it some more high end. Maybe some cool harmonies? Anyways, this is sounding nice at the moment.

Here's my first attempt at Dubstep in combination with Ambient and Electronica, so I'm wondering how I did on the production quality of this. I'm not completely sure about submitting this, so just focus your critique on how good/bad this sounds overall for now. I'm thinking the drums are fine. I'm only worried about if it's crowded, if my choice of sounds was working, or if any of the sounds are overpowering for any others, etc. All non-percussion sounds were with Zebra 2.5 with the exception of the White Noise.

Can someone take a look at this one more time?

V5.6: http://www.box.com/s/c12cm0rjvd8d0fhesl0j V5.5: http://www.box.net/shared/0xsjmj3cbfd3klyvenhy V5.4: http://www.box.net/shared/e0v91qq831ed5qkgd0b5 V5.3: http://www.box.net/shared/b3h0lp9r5x76qg62g7qu V5.2: http://www.box.net/shared/lrcy0p6uh7p484hvqtzy V5.0: http://www.box.net/shared/d3n4ulh3f50lq0c6pap1 V4: http://www.box.net/shared/ruvfqto6ydi1cx29xhk1 V3: http://www.box.net/shared/pjcnqqudpjlfagstizhc V2: http://tindeck.com/listen/soyk V1: http://tindeck.com/listen/elwz I went easier on the vibrato and lowered the bass just enough to not overpower the other parts. I also layered on another pad to accommodate for the late attack of my earlier pad.

Thanks for the feedback! The tremolo is a feature in the plugin I'm using, so I'm going to have to add more (to a lot of) automation to turn the tremolo on and off at certain points, then. When you say chords, I do hope you mean actual chords, and not individual notes. Although, someone asked me to make the Bass more dominant and dynamic, so... I'm just going to lower it just a bit so that it will blend in more but not too much.

This was quite nice. There's nothing bad I could have said about it. I liked it. =D

Can someone give me feedback? I've been waiting for over a month now.

Success! All is well again! =d
