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

Haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I probably should. I took a stab at dubstep... and this is what I came up with haha.

Nice intro, a bit dry maybe, could do with some reverb.

Drums coming in are a bit weak, they need to be louder. Nice laugh, I'm a sucker for good laughs.

It needs way more drums, and needs to be longer of course, and a song structure. This sounds very unfinished but you have nice melodies in here that can be built upon. And a cool laugh.

Doesn't sound like dubstep to me though, not that it needs to.

Keep at it. Cool

The intro strings should be deeper and darker, also it's too dry. I really miss the drums and a massive beat. The melody sounds good, but have nothing to do with the bass. And also where is the bass? I guess that you use NI Massive, you can make cool basslines with it, just play around with it.
On youtube, there is a couple of really detailed videos, check them out they are very useful how to make up a massive bass: http://www.youtube.com/user/thesoundtuto...2773926FA49A855
The idea is good, improve it a bit and it could be a cool track! Wink

spooky intro, love that beasty/growly sample!
don't really like the bass there, as it doesnt sound like a bass really, try low passing your waves insted of high passing with a sub underneath
what I usually do:
1. i take 3 waves (for example sqaure, saw, and inverted sqaure)
2. low pass it a bit.
3. run it trough a filter and fuck with the LFO, cut off, and ressonance untill i like the sound.
4. I distort my bass untill its nice and crisp.
5. add more effects (like reverb, (be careful with this though)chorus etc.
6. make 2 more wubs or more and make your melodie with this.
(acctually your bass in the intro doesnt sound that bad untill it geats more high freqs

if your an FL user pm me, and ill make you a tutorial!

overal not a bad attempt for your first try, sounds better than my first attempt anywaysBig Grin
it's all about practise mate!
good luck!
