[Ravitex & Pulvite - Rain]

Really nice atmosphere at the intro, love the chords, but that pryda snare at 0:37, um it has kinda too much high end and it made my ears hurt lol, that part next to the pryda snare needs more movement though, I mean it needs more syncope in the rhythm of the clap and in the melody, also the downfilters are pretty loud too, the drop isn't bad but it's kinda generic but in 1:52 I liked that melody, that melodic part fitted really nice, tbh my favoriteparts in this track are the breakdowns, but please try to not use samples so obvious come on everyone knows that fx backwards sample from the vr samplepack xd, the arrangement in the drop could be better, the basses sound really massive which brings that good old complextro vibe, the high pass is way too strong to my taste but it doesn't sounds that bad, loved the bitcrushed ending, nice work overall ;)

Ravitex responds:

I planned to work on this for a bit longer but as the description says, the project got corrupted and I didn't bother to re-do the progress from an older version.
Both of us had no idea about the VR sample, Pulvite got it from somewhere else.
I did the sound design in the drop and I really had mixed feelings about it but I finally decided that it'll be good enough. I suppose it's not essentially bad?
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

[Dovax - Planet Burger]

Very dissapointing, this just sounds rushed, unpolished and random af, melodies that lack rhythmic coherence, with a very weak and messy drop, without counting the huge copypaste you made there, this just... Could be a lot better, considering how good your other tracks are. By the other hand, the sound design is actually very good, the production and mixing are nice, but the composition and arrangement, bad.
The problem with the composition in the drop is that dubstep drops are mostly based in the first chord of the chord progression, but if you do that it will sound generic af, i see that you were trying to make something different, but the offbeat chords in there sounded messy and out of place, just try to make it more powerful, changing that snare, with a snare with more tail and a punchy transient, also adding some fast hihats, making the basses a lot fatter, larger and with a more interesting rhythm because the rhythm of them is boring and repetitive, add more variation, make a better transition between the drop and the breakdown, with a lead fill, and more impacts, because it's just white noise.

To make variation in the break try adding a new melody, with a new lead, and different chords maybe. Just keep the listener interested adding variations, maybe a key change, or making it faster, i know you can make something wayy better than this, this isn't your 100%.

For some reason, this remided me of the music in Crash: Mind Over Mutant xd, the name of the track fits pretty well with its mood though.

Overall: 3/5
Production: 4/5
Arrangement: 2/5
Composition: 3/5
Sound Design: 4/5
Atmosphere: 3/5
Replay: 2/5

TOTAL: 3/5 Stars

(chips compo styled stats lol)

Dovax responds:

Thanks for taking your time giving feedback, totally agree, that's why i stopped making dubstep, for some reason my drops began to sound weak, the arragement did not take me a lot of time to be honest, but making the sounds did, maybe if i would've taken more time doing it i would have done a cooler rhythm, but i just get frustrated in every project because the lag is so bad i can't even hear or record anything, it's so annoying i get to the point i just say fuck it and i upload it lol, but i have another dubstep track on the way for tomorrow tho hopefully it's better

[Zyzyx - Scars]

mind blowing vocal processing! but really, the future bass chords in the drop sounded very weak, maybe needs more voices? also more layers xd

the track overall is freaking good btw
noice work 8)

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

thank u man :D the chords sound drowned cuz i cut out some of the high end so it wouldn't class with the chords

[Dovax - Waterfall]

Nada mal ehhh

Dovax responds:

Creo que voy mejorando xd

[Isogon (Original Mix)]

This is really cool! this reminds me a lot to Jay Eskar's style, the bassline is so nice, but I don't like the leads tho :P they should be more powerful, with more high end. Very nice fx in the drops;3 keep going

KaixoMusic responds:

I agree with the leads, kinda didn't know what to do to make them more powerful.

[BurgeraX: Instincts [House]]

my ears are bleeding xd

EruptionMusic responds:

lM A O WHY ARE U HERE

[Marshmello - Alone ~ JK Remix]

This is more like a remake imo, i mean, this is really hice but pls fix that sidechain! The vocals sounded terrible with it

Kysertron responds:

When I sidechained the vocals, they started clipping, so yeah I agree that they are a bit out of sorts. :/

[Ivory Dance]

Why is it so quiet ? :thinking:

Onefin responds:

because none of us know how to master UNLIKE YOU NERDZ
