This was odd. The drums could've been better using superior drummer or just by "electrofying" the beat a bit.

Keep it up.

Excellently mixed ambience, good sir! Loving how professional it sounds. I could totally see this in some sort of movie.

Keep up the good work! You've earned yourself a follower!

Thank you man - i tried my best :) Thanks for leaving your thoughts here and also for the follow.
Chears!

Sounds a bit like ICP. Pretty cool. You got yourself a follower.

Not sure this counts as goth, though.

i will definetly keep that in mind what genre would you say its closer to? thanks again for listening and following!

THIS is how dubstep drums should sound!
Didn't really fall in love in love with the intro due to pretty generically sounding samples and whatnot, but that's not a big deal.

You did a good job, anyways. You've earned yourself a follower!

Keep it up!

Oh, god. This is a great composition!

Sadly, I usually encounter poor-quality vsts like those you use here on newgrounds. Maybe some people say that some of these instruments just "add to the feel of the song", but I beg to differ. I think a good composition should be produced with equally good instruments.

So here's my advise: either buy, or (if you're a cheap asshole like me) download East West Quantum Leap Symphony Orchestra (aka EWQLSO) or Philharmonik. Go get Kontakt 5 while you're at it. You will thank me.

Anyways, good job overall. Definitely followed.

Keep it up!

The drums are pretty tasty. I think you ought to work some more on the piano and synths, though.
In the beginning it sounds like the piano-channel can't handle the rest of the active instruments. The intro would sound way cleaner if you just separated the drums from the piano a bit. Sounds like they're in on each others' territories from time to time.
Maybe it's just me, but the arp that plays at the end totally kills the vibe for me. Doesn't sound like it should be there, y'know.

Anyways, good job overall. Followed.

Keep it up!

Man, you are one of the reasons I love newgrounds.
Very well mixed overall, although I think the snare deserves some more punch.
I'm usually not very in love with the whole growl-thing, but it think your approach to that aspect of modern-age dubstep has freshened the whole thing up.

Good job. Definitely worth a fave and follow!

Take care

Seeing some pretty original ideas here. I mean, I would probably never listen to this, mainly because I'm not very in love with the style, but you've got something going.

My only concern is (as usual) the drums. You could probably fix them up simply by mixing properly.
But then again, this is not my style, so I don't have much to say regarding the mix and whatever.

Keep it up!

eatmeatleet responds:

thanks. Yeah, I want to audition with this song so I am considering to at least replace drums with different samples. Thanks for input

Really loved the limited synths. You should work some more on the drums, though.
Add some some sweet mid-bass on the kick, and tone down a bit on the high-mid frequencies.
I'm not really sure what freq-range the snare is in, but that can be easily located with a parametric EQ. I'm assuming its low-middish, so just boost it up a bit and add just a bit of high to it to get the crispness out of the drum. Just a bit of reverb should probably make the snare sound a little more ambient, too.
Maybe compress both the kick and the snare a bit to make them a little more dubsteppy.

Of course, these tips are all based on my personal taste, but I guess some of them could be somewhat useful.

Keep it up! You've got yourself a follower!

Thanks a lot, I have been working a lot on my drums, and with every song they get better. I will try out the reverb thingy.

Thanks for following, have a nice day :D

This is the type of music I could totally listen to when journeying around the sunlit wilderness of Sweden.

Great job. Followed and faved!
