edit:

FINAL VERSION:

[rjw]

DEEP intro note What's the acapella? works real well! Think your kick and snare could be louder and the vocal sidechained to them a little bit.

Sounds thick and dark, just needs a bit of a mix tweak to get the best out of it!

[n2hf1st]

snare seems a little far back in the mix compared to the massive bassline... maybe layer it with another snare to add some snap?

the bassline, while huge and deep, might sound interesting with some portamento? also, you never filter it at all. maybe for some of the verses, applying a lowpass would not only add interest (the bassline is basically the same loop for the entire tune) but it'd make more space in the mix for some much needed additional elements. one last thing... in the intro, maybe applying the highpass filter to both the bass and the drums (as opposed to just the bass) would make for a more natural sounding effect.

thanks for the tips guys, will definitely take all of them into consideration for the final mixdown

[Fracas]

I would drop that sum bitch in my set for sure.

(the bassline is basically the same loop for the entire tune)

from my personal point of view you could be using more patterns ,,, add more excitement and energy.
But nice match with the vocal !

just put the final version up, took some of the suggestions here and i'm pretty happy with it. thanks everyone.

Eden/Kanye 'Diamonds from Sierra Leone' mashup I've been "planning to do for a while"... no dice but big ups for Slim Thug; actually happened across the Labwerx blog earlier today and I like where you're going with this thugstep thang. It's good to hear some womps south of the Mason-Dixon and east of Californee-way haha. Keep it up dude

nice one! yeah man ATL, Nashville, MIA, and Charlotte are the hot spots for dubstep in the south right now.

keep in touch

charlotte one of the hot spots for dubstep? really? I cant say I've noticed really. Raleigh has a decent amount. I'm just tired of endless wobbles though. Play some loefah and people are like.... what is this? Like the track though, I'd def drop this.
