This was actually nicer to listen to than most amateur dubstep I end up hearing, mainly because it isn't just overbearing un-EQ'd bass from the drop onwards. You put breaks in every now and then between the basslines with synths, and I really like that. It's different.

Of course, there's always room for improvement though. You might want to make your kick heavier, and you GOTTA add some hats. The drum pattern sounds way too empty without them. The snare isn't actually that bad though. I usually prefer to hear a crisper snare that resonates more, however, though that's more of a personal standpoint if anything.

You might actually want to use more synths after the drop as well. After the drop, the entire song feels much too empty. Some pads can help with that, and a sub-bass would work out wonderfully too. Also think about volume mixing, as someone mentioned below. Sometimes, some of your synths should be way more quieter, or it just ends up sounding uncomfortable to listen to after a while.

It's not too bad. It's different than most, and that's nice, but you still got a long way to go. You have good ideas though, and I'd like to see those come out more as you keep improving (:

Hey! Thanks for commenting im going to upload a new song check it out!

It's pretty decent for your first attempt! You might not want to rely too much on high pitched synths like that in an entire song though. It does get annoying if you don't mix it up too much, especially with lower notes, or the bassline. Make sure not to AIM to sound like Skrillex either. Not saying he's bad or anything, since I love Skrillex, but make sure to aim for your own kind of style (:

I'm really digging the synths you're using! The ones in the drop sound ACTUALLY dirty. I know that's an overused term in this genre, but I mean, they actually FEEL dirty. They feel disgusting and muddled and unclean, and I mean all of this in a GOOD way! It's pretty good, I must say (:

If there's one critique I can make (and really, this is just a personal thing), maybe use a different line for the second drop? Not that the line you have isn't good, but it'd just be to keep things fresh and new. Though, other people have used the same line, and it doesn't subtract from the track, so that's purely up to you.

I think I'll be keeping a close eye on you. Try making another song not when you're bored, but when you feel some inspiration, or when you really have that drive. If this is something you can create because you were bored one night, I'd love to hear what you can make when you put 100% of yourself into it. I'll hear it out, and seeing how that goes, I might scout you. I just need to get more of an idea of what you're capable of when you really dedicate yourself to a song.

Well dude, it's a nice beat, but it's rather misleading to loop it yourself for almost 2 minutes when it's really only a 4 second loop. There IS a loop feature on Newgrounds.

I'd look forward to seeing this becoming a full length song, but don't expect much in terms of reviews. There's not much to critique in there.

I really liked your calm intro. Caught me off guard when you made things more chaotic. I liked everything overall, but the one gripe I have with this is that at some moments, the synths and the bass you have just don't seem to match up with the timing. It feels off. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but it bugs me. I notice it especially at 1:15, but that only went on for a few seconds, so I don't know if you meant for it to be like that. It just gets to me, is all.

It might also do you some good to make your kick more heavy/audible. I can hear your clap just fine, but the kick is kind of buried, and that bass kick is important in dubstep tracks!

Overall, I like this. Just check your timing and make sure your drum pattern is real easy to hear!

I agree with the guy below me. You transitioned into that melody beautifully. It all felt natural and it was just really nice to listen to. You really SHOULD make these longer if possible. You have magnificent ideas going on, but we'll never be able to really experience this until we can really listen to these tunes for longer than a minute before it loops.

I've really been liking the stuff you've been putting out, so I think I'm gonna be sticking around and check out more of your stuff has it comes (:

Many thanks; I'll be sure to make the next one a full song :D

I really enjoyed this listening to this! Super chill. Sent a few shivers down my spine at moments too! It certainly gave me some feels too. Can't quite put a finger on it though. Nostalgia? Longing? Sadness? Can't say for sure, but it sure hits me somewhere.

I don't know what, but a part of me feels like something's sort of...missing, but that might just be me. Maybe a few grace notes here and there? It's not necessary, however. I like where this stands as is (:

CANDYdisturber responds:

There's always something missing from my music; it's hard to know what exactly though. At least for now :)

I like the idea you have. The intro is actually really nice, but a major problem I have with this little clip is the drum pattern. It feels drowned out by everything else. I don't know if that was just because the clip is short, or if it was intentional, but pretty much EVERY drum and bass song I've listened to has had a crisp sounding drum pattern that was always easy to hear. If anything, their patterns would ride above most of the track, so you could always hear that kick, snare, and hats. It just doesn't sound as nice when it sounds so deep. It has to be more pronounced. You might want to add more to that beat too. Hats would really help out, and making that kick more prominent would go a long way.

And this might be more of a personal thing, but those droning notes from that one synth you have that comes in at 0:27 gets a little annoying after a while. You can do with a little more mixing up there. You could make a nice melody with that thing.

Thank you, that was a very useful review for any future twitch I might apply to the song!

Killed it, once again! The blues piano was absolutely insane. I've never thought about using that in dubstep yet. Man, maybe I should try out for this contest here. Anyways, great job! The wobbles were nice and deep, and the synths you used were really nice. The melodies and accompaniments fits really well together, and it was just so addicting.

I have to tell you man, since you left the very first review I ever got on Newgrounds, and I checked out your own stuff, you're really becoming a kind of icon for me. I really want to get to your kind of production level and just pump out tunes at the same quality you do. You're a tremendous artist, so keep up the awesome work!

I really dig the desert theme you got going on! The sitar sounds really nice and everything is pretty catchy! In my opinion, I think the problem might be that there isn't enough going on. That, or there isn't that thing that adds a new sort of depth to the song. Perhaps another sort of string instrument, like an airy sort of guitar? Or maybe something on the heavy side like a quiet, rumbling sub bass?

Overall, it's rather good, but there's way to make it more interesting. What to add though, is up to you. Find other tracks similar to yours and use those as inspiration!
