I made a track, something between dubstep and electro house.
( soundcloud.com/thesoundnaut/legend feedback would be cool)
It´s not that complex after all lol...
But I´ve got some other projects going on and some of them are pretty complex.
Thanks for all the advice!

Here's some feedback

No indeed it's not that complex, but there's stuff to be done here:

The two things that seems to strike me is that (1) you only use quarter notes and 8th notes, which rythmically isn't really much, you could have reach a whole new level by introducing syncopation and 16th notes in your melodies, no need to changes the harmonies and the notes...(2) There's no bass drop...which is kind of a let down since you build some quite efficient build ups.

Thanks for the feedback! The thing with the quarter notes and 8th notes... I know the intro melody is just like totally boring because of that. I had a quite complex intro melody, but it wasn´t catchy enough and so I made a new one in maybe 5 minutes. I shouldn´t have uploaded it in this status of production. Anyway, I´m going to learn a bit about syncopation and I´ll try focusing on making some bass drops.

If you want a simple idea of what is syncopation:


|__ |__ |__ |__ Try to picture these 4 bars as quarter notes

|_ _ |_ _ |_ _ |_ _ and the same here, except it's 8th notes


Now say on each 8th is placed a note, you'd get a steady beat out of it, very regular...

Now try to substract one of the notes that is on the down beat so that it looks like this

|_ _ |_ _ |_ _ | _

this is syncopation, it may sound abstract like that, but if you do that in a sequencer, you'll see, what is going to happen is that the last note is going to give a accentuated feel to the next one, in this case the downbeat.

Syncopation is a good part of dubstep beats, so i'd recomend you experiment with it in everything rythmn related that you make...

It's pretty easy once you get the concept down and after a while you don't even think about it anymore.




Regarding bass, drop I can't tell i'm just not good at making bass drop lol...
