So putting my first original track on here around a week ago went well.. and in well I mean I learned quite a bit from the feedback.

I have in turned decided to focus on making everything a bit more smooth and work on the complexity later on.

You can hear the new track here:

I am positive that this is a much better attempt than my last and again I hope for some feedback. Positive or Negative I appreciate and welcome both.

Over all, not too bad... The intro is nice, but I'm not really a fan of the "wubs" before the drop, I feel like it already builds up well, and it just doesn't sound the great.

Also, the bass sounded kind of tinny, I don't know if that was what your were going for or not, but not really a fan of that. It sounds like my speakers are really screwed up or something. It doesn't have to be gnarly bass, because that's obviously not what you're going for, but at least make it a well rounded sound, not some half assed version.

But over all, it sounds nice and "chill", and you should definately keep making music, cause you have some talent...

Not a huge dubstep listener, so I'll let others critique your wubs. The piano and other melodies are well composed and quite relaxing actually. Keep on producing, you definitely have talent, and try some non-genre experimentation, I have a feeling you would do good there.

I really like the overall sound of the tune, you got the mix spot on for what your going for, piano sounds very beautiful with the reverb and delay, massive sense of space.

Your progression is really nice as well.

One negative I would say is that in this genre of music your drops need more intensity to them, but like you said you were working on complexity later so it doesn't surprise me you didn't go all out for the drops, and anyways it's not like they sound BAD, its just I feel thats the main area it could sound BETTER.

Would appreciate if you would check out my thread in return and let me know what you think of everything! TL Musicians unite.

In fact we should all unite and do a TeamLiquid album haha.

Yea the drums I think may get a little repetitive.. It's only 4 4 bar sequences repeated so.. I don't know lol.. I will be posting one of these blog posts every time I release something new.. Hopefully the feedback continues to help me get better
