Please check out my new track 'Prototyp' and post your comments here!


Ez Dotbe Massive,

This is my first track I've submitted to the site, so firstly I just wanna thank you for taking the time to listen to it. Any feedback or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, I'm always looking to improve.

The genre is Lavastep, this one goes out to my main man BattleDrone. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Oh, I had to take some of the samples out of the song, so imagine some sweet ass samples of dark shit in the parts where it's obviously a bit empty. Bigup

EDIT: Made with FL8XXL and Reason!

hey man, very nice intro, like the use of sounds a lot... drop is a bit too weak, like there is a bit missing between intro and drop... liking the bassline a lot though, sounds very fresh... good break, but kick and snare could be a little more upfront, bit crispier... why did you have to remove samples? copyright issues? but you already pointed it out yourself, i can imagine this being a wicked track with some fx and occasional changes... very nice track, keep working on it!

I think it's pretty sweet and especially because of the lack of many movie soundscapes to make things extra scary. The bass could be a bit louder.

This isn't lavastep though, it has a pretty funky feel to it and it is going somewhere.

I agree this is no lavastep, its much more melodical

cool stuff, obviously needs more work but what you got so far is good

shakers dont fit imo, needs more hats and ghosts, beats I would have done differently with a gritty break under and maybe more distortion

not bad, keep at it

hi, just wanted to say one thing about this one that struck me right away: how about makin the basses a lil louder anything else fits in greatly but i think you might wanna try getting those basses a lil more into the foreground, e.g. by trying (sidechain) compression or just a limiter. i know sometimes it ain't easy and everybody has their own taste, just wanted to tell you that :-]

greetings, jan

p.s.: da dein nick auf deutsche sprache schließen lässt, an dieser stelle einen schönen gruß :-]

i don't have a problem with "lava-step" tbh Tongue

anyways to the tune, nice intro, builds up nicely, lovin the bassline man

in terms of critique, the overall volume needs a good boost, would like to hear a mastered version of this

overall some great ideas here, arrangement sounding good! big up! Bigup
