    I’m working on this song which to my understanding could be described as “electro-step” …. kindof “Skrillex”-esque….. Some parts are still under construction but I was hoping to get a bit of feedback during the production process

    There’s a good amount of time signature changes… bit of 11/8, bit of 4/4, bit of 6/4 (I love how easy podium makes it to add these in)…. Hopefully It is at least original in that sense

    I’d really appreciate any feedback especially where this is the first song I’ve written that even closely resembles dubstep.

    You’ve picked a great set of sounds which all marry well.

    The vibe to the track is nice and fresh. I think you have all parts of a whole ready for expansion there! To complete the arrangement I suggest quadrupling the length of some sections. At the moment there are frequent changes not allowing elaboration on your funky lead (George Clinton-esque synth). You’ll need some levelling using the section at 40s-1m as reference.

    I hope this helps though I suspect you’ve already considered these points.

    Will you add vocals to this one?

    yea, I’ll add some form of vocals…. in the part of the song with the pump rave synth, the rhodes thirds will actually be some form of autotuned vocals.

    You don’t think quadrupling the length of sections will get monotonous?

    thanks for the input, guys

    I’m not sure if you’ll like or dislike this comment, but it reminds me of old school game music. Your style seems to include a lot of the elements in leads and their chords and melodies that occurred in a lot of older games. I liked a lot of that old music, by the way!

    While I dislike heavily repetitive music (tried to get into Daft Punk but was irritated by the long length and/or general lack of change in most songs, aside from other matters). However, your sections in this track feel very rushed, as if they are there one moment and gone another. Lengthening them a little, possibly quadrupling, would make them feel more whole instead of being fleeting. Repetitive songs can get boring, but songs that don’t let each section focus can also sound short and sections don’t stand out.

    Change is still needed in sections, in my opinion, however only minor ones, like changed notes, maybe an added arpeggiator, or something like that, to keep interest, but to keep the theme standing out and being heard.

    Hope this helps! My advice comes from a relatively non-active music-writer, so take with several grains of salt!

    Hey thanks man

    I’ll maybe try doubling the phrase length for starters and then I’ll see how it goes from there

    Yeah, I don’t know if you need to quadruple as such, the progression in your tune is very refreshing, but, yeah a bit of a lengthening might be good… It all depends whether you are going for something that is danceable or rather just a good listening experience in it’s own right? Your musicianship is brilliant and your sounds sound huge
