Dubstep track I made for my in-depth study - General

I have an upcoming in-depth study surrounding Dubstep and Electro in general. I'm not gonna post the paper I'm writing since it's in Norwegian, but I would love some feedback on the little track I made as an example to show the class. [media]http://soundcloud.com/quadrupede/welcome-to-dubstep[/media] It's relatively short and basic I guess, but I'm pretty happy with it. Also I'm of course going to show some more "classical" Dubstep tracks to them, but they'll be from other artists.

I like it, but the segment right before the drop needs work. Seems a little unfitting.

This is one of the most awful dubstep songs I have ever heard.

Norwegian you say? Have you ever heard of the best mixer that's from Norway? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92NRHqZ1fKM[/media] You can't get much more underground than that. Anyway I fucking love the elements you used, for a study it is quite impressive. I always thought that studying the genre would do some good, i only really got format down from what i speculated. You combined good melody to a nice wobble patch, the wobble seems a little bit strong though. Other than that its GREAT, It doesn't have that repetative over-use that most dubstep producers have.

Thanks for the critique. I know it definitely has the potential to sound better, however I did make the synths from scratch (and the drum samples), and I'm not a pro so of course it's not gonna sound perfect yet, but then again I would rather do it this way than getting a perfect sound with other peoples patches/presets...

It sounds like two completely melodies are playing at the same time, and they don't fit at all.

[QUOTE=BackSapper;35024159]It sounds like two completely melodies are playing at the same time, and they don't fit at all.[/QUOTE] What do you mean? Both melodies are in the same key and scale. I'm not blindly defending here, I just don't really know what you refer to. Do you mean the sound of the synths, or the rhythm of the melody lines?

[QUOTE=BackSapper;35024159]It sounds like two completely melodies are playing at the same time, and they don't fit at all.[/QUOTE] I hate to say but he is kind of right. Only sometimes i can hear that it doesn't fit. Just single out your wobble and add maybe two more patches and mix your drop down.
