I downloaded your Divination album a little bit ago when you posted about it on here.
To be honest your sound has no depth. They all sound like they were just loaded up with stock samples, composed, and exported to MP3 with very little tweaking. I would have downloaded stuff like this 8 or 9 years ago off of MP3.com.
Keep at it, though. Picasso didn't paint a masterpiece on his first go.

LOL i dont have an album called divination, so i have no idea what youre talking about. And not having heard these stock samples how would you even know how much ive tweaked anything? with the exception of a few pad sounds i create everything from scratch, but good job not knowing what youre talking about.

You are correct, sir. My mistake. I thought I read Psilogod up there. I got it confused with someone who posted in the music forum.
My apologies. I will go give your music a listen.

You know I was gonna listen...but you've been super defensive about everybody else's posts. Good job being self-righteous and alienating.

Eh, they're mediocre at best. The sound is minimal, it doesn't grab me, and the only thing I would say is "dubstep-esque" about some of the songs is that annoying wah-wah-wah bassline that seems to pervade every other dubstep piece out there.
But, like you said, that is just one person's opinion. Although, I've only been listening to electronic music for half of my life so what the fuck do I know...

im not defensive in the least bit, that first post about it being his opinion was a joke, ever seen the big labowski? DNKYD's comment was completely unjustified considering he hadnt even listened when he made the post.

the sound is supposed to be minimal, so i guess mission accomplished? and once again youre wrong, there isnt a single "wah wah" bassline in any of my songs. Im all for constructive criticism, but this is the second case of you talking out of your ass in this thread.

Your music is ok but im afraid in my opinion its nothing special. And I would class it as bedroom dub-step not real dub-step. Sorry. just keep at it and dont let the things that people say crush your motivation.
This is what I class as real dub-step. Try to make some sounds similar to this.

i most certainly will not try to make something that sounds like something else. Im not trying to make dubstep anyone can make broken beats and and wobble basslines for people to dance to in clubs. and there's no such thing as real dubstep, dubstep in itself is far to open for that. any bass oriented music could be considered dubstep. I call it dubstep-esque b/c i often shift the focus from the bass to the spacial and ambient elements of the music. but thank you for listening, and that goes to any of you that take the time to do so.

My friend you need to be way more open to criticism. There you where asking for peoples opinion on your music, and now when anyone comments even slightly negativity about your tunes you shout them down. ??
And I wasn't asking you "to make something that sounds like something else" I just wanted to show you a track that I thought you may get inspiration from. Did you even listen to it?
Learn to open your mind not narrow it.

Ok maybe he wasn't asking for criticism. But by asking people to check his tunes out, he (by default) will get peoples opinions being posted therefore he should expect criticism and conflict of opinions.

i never asked for anyones opinion on my music, that's not why i made this post, if i wanted opinions, i would just post this on the dubstep forum like i always do. this is just for exposure, nothing more. now that doesnt mean im ignoring all opinions, but it does mean im beyond the stage where i bend to the will of what other people like.
