[Shisho]

Far too shallow

Sounds more like a WIP IMO.

The track mainly consists of one synth and the drums at any one point. Sure enough the synths change around, but I don't see this as a proper dubstep song. It's very simple. I like the rhythmics you have in the intro, but the intro is waaay too long and dragged out.

I can't really hear the dubstep in this either, the synths not very wobbly and very few parts of the track remind me of dubstep whatsoever. Ending is also dragged out quite a bit.

In general this needs to be fleshed out, as it is now it's barely even a WIP.

This is PlaxXxebuss. Hai. Rasteezus and I have decided to remix another's song if it is bad to back it up. So expect something better within the next while.

[Fire and Spice]

Somewhat repetitive

It's not a bad track. Really relaxed and laidback, but there's def something missing.

Main problem for me is lack of variety. Yes, sure, there are synths that come in, transitions and the such, but the beat is mainly the sam throughout, and the synths don't vary much throughout.

This could do really good as backing for a vocal track, in hip-hop or rap, but as a standalone, it feels very naked and shallow, there's not much going on.

Zandarious responds:

Yeah, i know what you mean, theres something missing but it also feels the need of something being taken out as well...

[First Dub]

Lower the wobbles

I agree, this is not a bad starting point. I like that you're going for a more fast-paced dubstep, often they're real low pace. You might want to drop the wobbles a bit in pitch, it's a bit high right now.

And of course, add more to this. Maybe a drop before it, though that often coincides with lowering the tempo, so I'm not sure it'd fit.

Just listen to other dubstep and find out whether you want to make it dirty or fast-paced and energetic.

I see.....
Since this was my first dub I was making a loop, but Ill definetly add this in the next song. I thought the wobbles were of high pitch XD. Thanks for telling me otherwise.

[Shit Motherfuck]

No effort

I'm not sure what this is. Someone saying shit motherfucker looped and cut into pieces. It's not experimental, abstract, hip-hop or rap, it's more like spam, in my honest opinion. I'd love to see some more effort put into it. A beat, making it at least ten times longer, and proper lyrics.

[White Search]

Light and entertaining

I have a soft spot for any song that uses piano, especially when it's used this good.

Even though the piano is IMO the best part about the song, I love the somewhat muted synths that act as a backup for this piece, they're subtle, they're really all over the scale and frantic, really filling in any and all empty spaces in this track.

The synths int he middle of the track that somewhat sounds like strings are amazing. Not sure how I feel about the buzzy synth that comes in around 2.15, it's a bit powerful, but sounds great when it's accompanied by the other synths you've been using.

It's abit powerful during the outro too, but it fits pretty well in. It seems like you cut of the piano a bit short, you could probably end this song similarly, but with some delay on the piano to get that echo-effect.

A great track, I suggest you request reviews at the Review Request Club. You can find us on the BBS, under Clubs & Crews (:

ForestKing responds:

Thank you for reviewing the song so well. We will take it close to us and use it when we later are going to modify/update our song to the better. And while you already are here and are suggesting us to request reviews of you: Why don't you review our song F-king Piano in addition to this one?

[Old Man Jenkins]

Nice and easy loop

It's a nice, simple and easy loop. Nothing revolutionizing, but nothing too shabby either.

It's a bit generic and repetitive. There's not much variation in any way shape or form in the track. Apart from maybe the rhythmics, with a hi-hat disappearing somewhere in the middle of the loop.

The synth isn't bad, I like the synth that pans from left to right and back throughout the loop.

[Ill Minds Think Alike]

Heavy-hitting

I'd love to be able to read the lyrics for this one. They matter so much to hip-hop and rap tracks, it's somewhat difficult to review without them.

Your voice is really good. Audio quality is crisp, and it's been mixed very well. Guess this is sort of a collab. The rhythms are great, I love the ambient sounds used, and especially liked the piano. It sounds like some sort of male choir backing up, it sounds so damn well. Really fills in the void that'd be there without it.

There's a great flow to the vocals, never sounds like words are being rushed or drag out.

[Dem Chords (wip)]

A bit odd at times

Certainly not a bad track, but there isn't much going on in it. A relaxing track should still have something going on in it.

I'm not sure I like the sections where you raise the note half a step at a time, sounds quite off and weird.

Not sure what's up with the entire song seemily stopping at about 2.40, going up in volume and then changing drastically. I don't really like the synths you used here, it might be the volume, but they get very annoying, very soon.

You had a great thing going towards the beginning, with some beats that really helped relax, but to me, the second part seems very random and not very planned.

At about 4.45, it seems to me like the song really kicks in. I really liked that latter part, the raising of the tones by half a step at a time (or is it one and a half?) sounds great here. Honestly, the last part of this song is the best, much more harmonic, much wider, thicker, filled with music, backed up. It's really, really good. Holy crap. I'm actually really amazed at that. I didn't expect an ending like that after a song that was so lacking in some parts.

Keep working on this, it has serious potential.

[[oZ] ~ Osci-Clean (Dubstep)]

Damn dude

That initial drop might be the best I've ever heard. I loved the buzz synths you used here, they're original and not any of that cheezy, over-used similar buzzes usually used in dubstep tracks.

Hell, the drop at 2.25 is also pretty god damn sick. Loving your use of vocal samples before these drops, enhances the effect so much, especially with that slowed down sample.

Shit dude, I can't come up with much more to say. This is one dubstep song that can easily knock you out cold.
