not all that pleased with it, but i thought i'd try something different to dnb
And i don't know what i was expecting when i clicked play. Wish I didn't now.
Maybe add a kick drum to? or are you using those toms as kicks?
Also, like they said above, playing in key is a big deal...
the kicks are there, i noticed they were pretty much all sub-bass so i sorted that out.
you're all talking about keys...could any of you build on that? ideally for someone with a minimal amount of knowledge regarding 'music theory'
keys you know on a piano there are keys lol
but really you can have a tune in a b c keys etc
but i wouldnt worry about that for now if i was you id just concentrate on the basics of production
I think they are commenting on the detuned bass line when they are on about the key of the song, sounds a bit scatty I don't actually think theres anything wrong with the notes you are playing.
Not to insult you man but it's not amazing and it's going to be a while before anything you do is sounding anywhere near half decent however the progression from the first example you posted to the second is noticable. The only thing you can do is keep trying, I been trying since I was 16/17 and have only now just started to get to a level where I think it starting to sound decent and I still got loads to improve on. I'd work on maybe changing the bassline as that patch is bit muddy sounding a little bit and getting the drums sounding a bit tighter as they sound quite dull in the mix.
that bassline sounds funny. the reason i dont like dubstep. Tho the drums are viiiibe
its getting better. bass is cool imo. overall i think it lacks of variation, like different parts going on etc.
keep working on it !
