overall a solid product.. but what I think is: the beat is recognizable, the sounds are comfortable.. sounds like dubstep as people generally think of it. My suggestion, try to present something that challenges what people think.

I don't really get your comment about other genres just because for me genre doesn't really matter as much as content and expression.. still going to your track, I enjoyed the variety in sounds though the track sounds a bit too quantized.. I'd suggest playing with 16th notes, half notes, SWING, and even slightly offbeat notes, especially in your drum loops that can add a ton

Pretty dark stuff.. I like the beat. I think that the main melody sound is a bit too unchanging... the sound itself doesn't really move very much, and it would be nice if you added a different section.. maybe also taking that sound out and having just drums at some point midway through to make it sound fresh.. I get that you're imagining it with vocals though it could really use multiple breaks/sections either way.

SuburbanBeats responds:

thanks for the criticism and yeah I was imaging with vocals haha and I knew I shoulda thrown some drum brakes in. Ill keep that in mind but thanks for the comment (:

you have good melodic ideas, keep working and developing

way to stick up for yourself and leave it just like that instead of completing it.. if that's the length you want perfect. I'd watch out with the dissonances in this track especially at 1:00.. dissonances are ok if used properly but they can sound like wrong notes

Random-storykeeper responds:

Thank you, although the length was intentional. I might extend it, but it's not in my immediate plans right now.

I see what you mean about the dissonances and although I have adjusted to listening to them, I might change some of the notes around.

You're totally on track on the space music if you ask me, and the loops work very well together. Have you ever thought if there's a difference between space music and futuristic music? I wonder if you'd enjoy ableton since I think I read you work on protools.. the organization is so much easier even though it sounds like you have a grasp on the DAW

DjGubkafish responds:

Thank you sir .

For me space and future is somewhat the same thing because the same technology that put people in space is used in everyday lives .

I don't use ableton because i just do sequencing inside VST that have sequencing editors in them .

Good selection of synths, very modern sounding.. the drums sound a tad old fashioned though.. have you tried making your own drums? Hahaha it might be a bit of a journey, but I can assure you if you find the way, it's more than worth it.

DjGubkafish responds:

Thank you .

To be honest i don't find using midi input effective for drums . I just use something similar to fruity kicker for beats,claps and snares .

I do make a lot of bass leads though which technically could be converted to beats.

Totally dug the melodies in this one and the way you manipulate the sounds across the track.. it's good variety and evolution! Keep that idea up, which you can certainly expand on and push even more and in unique ways

DjGubkafish responds:

Thank you very much .

I think music expands not with skill but with character . This track represents my current personalty so hopefully i have more growth in the future .

It's very cool to see how you're coming along and gaining control over your sounds.. EQ really makes your sounds shine in your way, that's totally the key, you got it

Chemiqals responds:

Thanks, much appreciated! ^_^

I really enjoyed this track because, I can tell you felt the beat. Many people would dismiss it at repetitive but that's absolute nonsense. Try playing it at a party and you'll see it's perfect for it

Chemiqals responds:

Haha thanks! I'm not usually a fan of the "average" house song, but I love exploring different sounds and I wanted to make something fun and simple for something like well... you said it. A party!
