Today is the day I finally end this 4 month break with something big for the NG Audio Portal!

I should begin by talking about this project. I started production for this song around mid March, and it was only a cool, haphazardly mixed drop that I did not imagine would necessarily become a full song, and especially not a nearly 6 minute one. Yet, in the last 4-5 days, I have managed to pick the drop back up again and complete it.

I don't think I have ever managed to make something so clearly inspired as this in my entire musical journey. I managed to put every single element I wish was present in the dubstep I hear everyday and neatly pack it into this one track.

This is the project that has taken me the least most time ever. What I mean by this is that although I managed to complete everything in this track in the span of a few days, the total amount of hours I actually spent on the project is nearly double my average production time. Just as a comparison, my most popular track ever, Quantum Future, took me a total of approximately 13 hours; this song took me over 24. I have never, and I mean NEVER spent this much time on a single project before, and yet this has probably been the most fun, motivating experience of a production. I hope you feel the same way listening to this track.

Enjoy this banger! And God bless the audio portal!

Once again a pretty sick track!

Must admit that this one is kinda on the louder side, maybe lowering a bit the volume overall would have been good since I also heard some popping over the track, but that might just be my headphones being quirky.

But still, I enjoyed this track and I can tell the effort put into it. The volume is the only thing that bothered me a bit, but other than that the synths, melodies and chords as well as the structure are really enjoyable.

Keep it going!

SpeedoRH responds:

Hey, thanks! From the model of headphones I use right now (Sennheiser HD560S) the song does sound a bit distorted. As I said on one of my other replies to your reviews, I will likely have to fix some tracks like this one in order to put my stuff on Spotify without problems, and that will include lowering volumes here and there.

I am very glad you enjoyed the structure in this! Chords come somewhat naturally to me now, but structure has always been (and it still is) a massive struggle of mine when making music. Means a lot that you liked it!

I will, thank you so much for reviewing all my stuff! :D

Really good, especially for it being 6 minutes long!

kinda similar to quantum future but like better

SpeedoRH responds:

Thanks! The similarity to Quantum Future must be either the scale or the melody in the middle section (it's the same as Quantum Future, I did that deliberately).

So far the only dubstep that I've heard on this site that isn't overdone.

SpeedoRH responds:

Wow, thank you! I'm happy to hear that <3

okay there is quite a bit of mastering issues with this track but other than that this is really well done! it also did not need to be almost 6 minutes it could have been shortened but yeah, good start!

SpeedoRH responds:

Thanks for the honest feedback!

I think that what you mean is my song has some issues in the mix rather than the mastering, as mastering isn't that crucial of a stage in music production and often doesn't have much of an impact on the overall quality of the track. (That is why I personally do not master my music, but just mix it.) I still appreciate you pointing that out, as I often do run into mixing issues pretty often when making music.

Although very difficult to do given the structure of my music, I will consider making shorter songs in the future!

Again, thx for the feedback!
