Diamonds [Dubstep Remix] - Work in Progress, Feedback Welcome 
edit:
FINAL VERSION:
DEEP intro note Whatās 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!
snare seems a little far back in the mix compared to the massive basslineā¦ 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 itād make more space in the mix for some much needed additional elements. one last thingā¦ 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
I would drop that sum bitch in my set for sure.
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 iām pretty happy with it. thanks everyone.
haha I was hoping this would be the Mt. Eden/Kanye āDiamonds from Sierra Leoneā mashup Iāve been āplanning to do for a whileāā¦ no dice but big ups for Slim Thug; actually happened across the Labwerx blog earlier today and I like where youāre going with this thugstep thang. Itās 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 Iāve noticed really. Raleigh has a decent amount. Iām just tired of endless wobbles though. Play some loefah and people are likeā¦ what is this? Like the track though, Iād def drop this.
yeah Mindelixir does a few shows up there, one of the notable ones being Bass Church. you heard about Emerge:NC?
yah I know all about EmergeNC. I saw Mind Elixer in Ashvilleā¦ I have to say I was kinda dissapointed, but I figure he was just super trashed, cause he came on after Excisionā¦ and everyone left was fucked. I saw diesel boy before that.
