Not bad, but certainly not great either.
Melody is somewhat nice, the song has a decent beat to it.
The build-up is lackluster, the only thing that classifies it as one is the percussion, which is not enough if you want to build some sort of suspense to make the drop more exciting. You need to add like an upfilter thing to it, like you know, white noise or some synth that rises in pitch, pretty sure you know what I mean.
The next thing I want to point out is that the drop itself isn't anything interesting. The growl basses seem like NI Massive presets from 2012 (most of them sound pretty lame from that period by todays standarts and nobody thinks they're cool), the arrangement in the drop is pretty boring too.
The whole thing seems muddy.

In conclusion, I am gonna say that I liked the calm melody and the bassline (chords or whatever you did with that).

Yeah, pretty much. Just please don't give excuses like "Oh gosh diddly dosh, this is my first dubstep song therefore it's completely fine that it's bad", since you know, I'm not giving constructive criticism to flame you, only to help you fix the things that are wrong. Open to judgement, man.

comments like these are very usefull, thanks for give me your opinion about it :D (pd: your music is so great!! :DDD) (pd2: yeah, this song have a pretty bad drop i know that xD) (pd3: sorry for my english :c)

Pretty solid track, but the only thing that I didn't like was the drop. It was underwhelming. There was little difference between the drop and the breakdown (In my opinion) which was kinda dissapointing.
Other than that, it's a really nice track and I have nothing else to say about it.

MrKoolTrix responds:

Thanks, man. =)

As for the contrast between sections, I'll take that into account next time I'll be making a track. ;)

It's nice in it's own way, but it is super repetitive.
It's basically the same thing all the way from the start to finish, except that theres the "noise" at the start and the end which lasts for a pretty short time and then theres the vocals here and there.
Other than that, it's a pretty calm and nice track. But the fact that it's so repetitive makes it super boring.

Pretty lame.

Only positive thing is that it has some neat sound design here and there.
The piano melody is bad. Same goes for that sawlead melody (It's bad). There's also some mixing issues, the track sometimes sounds too empty and sometimes a bit muddy. There was unneccessary white noise at some parts. The violin doesn't really go well together with the rest of the song.

That's pretty much it, I don't think I missed anything. Assuming you aren't a very experienced artist. You gotta spend some time to learn some music theory, which would really help.

I'm sorry, but I'm beginner. I'm also watching and learning from youtube videos in order to improve

Majestic. Reminds me not to kill myself every morning I wake up.

Everything seems cool, but the distortion of the basses in the drops is way too much. I mean sure, distortion can be used nicely, but this is just too much.

This is pretty dope if you ask me.

Of course, the mixing could use some more work, some things seem a bit muddy, this also seems to be just a little repetitive with the same melody from the start appearing several times later in the song and both drops being basically the same.

But anyway, this is really good.

Yeah, it's pretty lame, we all know that. But it's a start. Assuming you're a beginner when it comes to music production.

From what I see you just used the default starter drum samples that come with FL Studio. I'd recommend getting better ones, but that's up to you (Most good quality samplepacks aren't free, so keep that in mind). There's also some random volume automation (Assuming it's assigned to the master volume slider), I don't know why would you want to do that, but get rid of it. The bass-synth thing in the background seems kinda random too, but honestly, I don't know what to say about it.

Good luck on improving. Won't be easy, but if you want good results, you need to work hard.

Why? Just why?

The song seems like it would be kinda good, but I can't really talk about it when I can't hear it properly.
Don't record it with a microphone while it's being played from a laptop, it's not good.

Weird.

Sound design seems to be really nice, melodies and chord progressions also seem to be nice for what they are, but the structure of the whole song seems off, like there barely are any transistions, certain segments (that are usual for an EDM track) are just not there, ending is super abrupt. Also there are some mixing problems, for example the drums starting from 01:11 are pretty much non-existent (super quiet).

Although the thing that worries me the most is that I have a suspicion that you just threw a bunch of Virtual Riot's samples and loops (or samples and loops from any other source) in the project. Not saying that it is always bad, but when a song is made entirely out of someone's elses loops/samples, then it gets a bit sad. Some loops don't even go well together, that's what makes it even more questionable because a person who knows how to make such nice chords, melodies and sound design wouldn't mess up the structure and things would definitely fit nicely togheter.

Anyway, it was somewhat nice to listen to, but since I have the suspicion that you ONLY used samples and loops, then the song loses most of it's value to me.

I wrote way too much text than I should have, probably could have explained my thoughts in less than this whole thing.

PM me if you want to discuss this further or get any advice, etc.

Aetherous responds:

Yeah you are right, that i used loops. I have stepped down from dubstep and took a different way of music. I want to make dubstep all from myself, its I don't know how to really make it. I I have just went a head started making more instrumental music than electron music. I want to mix both in the long run. Sorry for the 2 YEAR LATE response.
