[Work in Progress]

I like it :)
Its not really dubstep, though. Sounds more like an electro house track on steroids, you might wanna lay back on the compression a bit, just because the mix is loud does NOT mean its good.
I also really like the variation on the bass but as with compression it could use a bit less distortion.

TheMonstrosity13 responds:

I play guitar in a death metal ban so when I see the word distortion I crank that shit. I want it evil. I want it low. Just woke up and started on my second attempt. I know its not dubstep that's why I tagged it as so many other things. I don't really know what it is. It's me. The Monstrosity. Trying to bust my way through your speakers:)

[Filthy Bastards]

Its a bit confusing, could use a more precent rythm, and a more clear progression.

Its a bit cluttered and im not sure where to focus when listening, so I suggest removing some elemnts, correct me if im wrong , but is that some S.O.A.D. i hear in the lyrics?

SoulSecure responds:

WTF are you talking about? Listen to whatever you want, it's all there for a reason. This ain't no pop song, guy. This is experimental shit. I'm guessing you're unfamiliar with things like progressive metal...

Yeah, I used lyrics from System of a Down's song A.D.D.

[[LO-RMX] Can't Stop Me]

Good, but...

I know im not the one that should be talking, but it sounds a bit to repeditive.
It would be a great song to play live, but as a guy sitting alone by his computer, its kinda boring.

Oakwood responds:

Yeah, you're probably right. This was a very quick thing I whipped up, though, I didn't really put any effort in it (although I'm still proud of it).
Thanks for the comment!

[The Evolution Crisis]

Awesome stuff :)

I feel the mixing could have been better, but that currently the only drawback i can hear ATM.

BTW, what plug-ins do you use? Ive been using Garageband for a while now and id love to see how you made this :)

OMGL33TH4X0R responds:

Yeah, my mixing skills have always been a little lacking (I'm too impatient for it). Although most of my work is GarageBand stuff, this one was actually done in Logic Express 8. It has a lot more sounds than GarageBand (even with all the jampacks) and I needed some unique sounds that weren't available to me.

[Friday Fox - Empathy(Drumstep)]

decent, but...

Its got a cool feel, but the wobbles could be a bit mor dirty, you could also work on your groove a bit more, I suggest checking out Ruskos Masterclass on youtube.

gavkay21 responds:

Ill be sure to check that out

[[EpicM] My Life]

NIce :D

Love the lead-work, not a huge fan of the the bassline but thats nitpicking:D

Pretty epic tune overall though im not quite sure exactly where you where going whit the general composition.

Again, love the track, just a few dents in it here and there :D

EpicM responds:

i made a shuffle bassline, its not something id choose as a standard but it seemed to fit best :)

its just that i got a girlfriend recently and shes the one who motivated me to make more music :) it might not be perfect but hell, im back :P

Thank you for your review, i might change the bassline in the future.
please feel free to PM me if you got some more advice :)

[All musicians are freaks]

Holy shit O.o

This is pure awesomeness.
The groove, the feel...

I applaud you, good sir.

dopedgod responds:

thank you as well good sir, for responding and rating this.. I am glad you enjoyed this

[Town Theme (EQ)]

Holy Shit... :)

Its actually prety damn awsome, but the cynic in me really wants some louder drums, their almost drowned out... and probably less reverb on them?
But thats just nitpicking on such a great song :D

Cheers :)

Step responds:

Thanks! This isn't one of my best actually - in fact it's really old. That might explain the little quirks like too much reverb on the drums. I wish I could edit this song but I lost the project file :(.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again!
