Please check out my new track 'London Dub'd' and post your comments here!

The title's random really, couldn't think of anythin the least bit interesting, so I just called it this. The title does not make any refference to the style.
Its the first version so far, I cooked it up in 3 or 4 nights, tho' Im not sure.
Enjoy nd cheers !

There are some good elements to this track but it's not very cohesive. At times it sounds like someones put the pitch control all the way up on the turntable. You need to work on your structure and use those good elements make a more flowing track.

Easy mate. First thing that stand out is that ya drums dont sound sharp enough. Very flappy indeed. Need a bit of work doing on them.

At about 45 seconds, they pan all other the place. Very nasty.

The sounds your using sound very preset. Try altering the synths a bit.

Very strange song bro. I don't bad, I mean unconventional for dnb.

Personally, I would leave this track now and start on something new. I can't see this being a crowd puller as such. I hope that wasn't to harsh mate. I mean this is one learning curve, try something else. Mainly working on sharpening ya drums and finding better synth sound Happy

The mix has too much reverb on and your bass is very muddy. I can just pretty much agree with bruce, start something new! Even if you’d sort out the very muddy mix you’d still have to work on everything else, starting from powerless drums to weird sounding synth and melodies.

don’t give up Wink

Great my friend. Glad you didn't take that as an insult. Takes quite a bit of experimenting to get somewhere. That is why we are all on dnb.be. I have written similar comments on other peeps tracks and recieved a hail of abuse back Big Grin I am no expert at writting tracks myself!

If you want a good way of starting to write tracks, try ripping off another known artist as best you can. ie. similar sounds, beats, build up. ect. Then re-edit it for your liking. It's the best way of understanding the musical structure and sounds. Little hint, try the simpler songs first Wink

Nice one brov Happy

Way too fast.. stick to 170-175 bpm.
Melodies are not really going anywhere, instrument choice could be way better.
Drums should be mono.
Needs a lot of work

well

for first

too much reverb and lack of highs or to loud 40-60hz which overtake the highs Smile

secondly very fassssst !

and chaotic.
especially melodies.
You've got to work on this one.
