It is the time of the day again to experiment and try something that is different from you, enough with the house music. When I was Kid I always dream to create track in Dubstep, well here is it now. This is different from my usual style because instead of processing orchestral sounds to synths, I process edm kicks into synths so I hope I can get a +1 in sound design :). But of course with everything new I try it doesnt always come out great but its interesting to say at least and I also like my second drop.

This will probably be my last submission in NGADM and probably my time to upload my music because I want to focus more on my art, develop it like how I develop my music and hopefully I can have many fans of my art and get a frontpage in my art.

This is completely different from my style and I know my mix will have a lot of flaws because thats what all I can do in just 3 days. And also yes this can be use in Geometry dash so feel free to use it.

Key : Mostly A# Minor but the intro is Cm I think.

BPM : 150

Genre : Dubstep, Future Riddim and Future Bass.

Album art goes

I hope you like it

Hey! You asked for personal feedback a couple days ago but I have the attention span of a fucking rock, many apologies. I don't have much knowledge in dubstep (let alone color bass) unlike some of the other judges from this compo, so I can't say much. However, I'll still give it a try.

So, overall: great choice of sounds, this track really puts into evidence that you have experience in sound design which plays in favor for this track to sound engaging and fun and interesting. I've found myself almost dancing to all the bleep bloops instead of paying attention to the thing, so I ended up giving it a second and third listen... maybe a fourth, heh. Also, the song in general is very unique, well structured and very well produced. I really like when producers of this genre tend to jump

Now a few notes on two or three more specific things: at the beginning, the atmosphere feels "surrounding" and gives that sensation of a big space, and that buildup to the drop was so exciting it gave me the chills before headbanging with the drop. The use of granular synthesis was a very creative choice (and between us, I think more people should start using granular synthesis more, specially Reason users since their Grain Sample Manipulator is some top-notch shit)...
...and yeah it totally gave you more points in sound design lolol
I also found interesting the use of multiple drum kits across the track, because it makes it sound less repetitive and more abundant and special, I really liked that. The only thing that threw me off just a liiiiitle bit was the sudden end, which itself isn't a bad thing don't get me wrong I LOVE experimentation, but I think that last snare could've benefited from, at the very least just one or two seconds of that reverb (maybe just 0.5 secs is fine) before ending the track with a microscopical bit of silence so the listener can process the sudden conclusion, but this is just my own personal taste, I still liked how you ended it.

It's a bit sad to hear that you'll drop music, BUT it's also great that you'll focus on your art, because your art is amazing as well!! Godspeed, Half.

Thank you so much, I appreciate that you liked my track. And I appreciate that you also liked my art as well. I wouldn't of course totally drop music because music became my life but I want to focus on my art so I can hopefully have a frontpage in my art.
