Hey everyone. Sorry to bombard you guys with all these different topics of my techno/dubstep music. This will be the last one for a while I will make.
As you people might have seen, I have started making dubstep/trance music in the past few months. I, personally, think I have improved greatly. I wanted to get some of your opinions on it. MK always reminded me of how bad I needed to improve on mixing.

Art


Here are some previews of my newest songs (WIP):
Fury From Within (WIP)
No Regrets (WIP)

Thanks
-Reakt-

Fury From Within: The intro tones don't match very well, and aren't exactly pleasing to the ear, imo (not to mention the Sburban Jungle resemblance). But after the beginning, it's pretty great dubstep.
No Regrets: I really love this. Excellent job.

Fury from Within:
The intro background string/pad thing sounds really off after the second note and doesn't match the rest
That buildup is overused in pretty much all of your dubstep songs and generic overall
Feels really repetitive
Sounds really generic..there's nothing special about it. It's like I'm listening to any other dubstep song really

No Regrets is really nice though, I don't have anything to say about it!

The title sounds a bit like reeked as in smell... idk.

Anyway onto the songs!

Fury from Within: As the others said, the 3rd and 4th chords of the intro progression are off! 1 4 5, my friend!
Also it sounds really generic and not very exciting to listen to as it sounds like every other dubstep song ever. Also nice string samples.

No Regrets: The beat for the first few seconds sounds a bit off - like somebody's forgetting their cue and getting it wrong. Other than that, it's pretty nice but a little repetitive.

I thought that at first too, but I think it's supposed to be like "react." Only with a "k."

sorry, but it sounds pretty boring, and basic.
some unpredictable notes and arpeggios would be nice.
but otherwise, the drum beat's pretty good, but I hear no bass besides the chorus!

The chord progression is a bit boring/generic/repetitive
The melody sounds off at moments
Drum beat is pretty cool though

I never mentioned this, but No Regrets is really cool. The dubsteppy whoosh whoosh type parts are in moderation, the synth sounds cool, the beat is engaging, the main riff is memorable, there are some really fun high parts... really really good. A+.

I just had a great idea. You should write a song with a long dubstep buildup, then follow it up with a banjo solo. That would be pretty rad, don't lie.
I know I'm not the first choice for heroics...and y'all've tried to kill me more than once. And, I don't fancy a single one of you at all. But... Actually, all that sounds pretty convincing. I wonder if Danger Mouse is on.

I like the riff at the beginning! It's really fun. The reggae sort of clashes with the dubstep, but the fusion between the two sounds interesting rather than dissonant.
