God Bless and good day
Wow, nice bass drop! It's very nice to see another LMMS user interested in good 'ol dubstep. It's not exactly a genre for the faint of heart, especially in LMMS where our standard plugins are a bit lackluster for dubstep sounds. Of course, they're usable with some effort and experimentation, as you have clearly found out! I'm very intrigued with some of the sounds in your drop— I'm guessing you used a lot of triple oscillator, and maybe some ZynAddSubFX? Did you use any Vst's or samples?
Overall it sounds pretty good. The drop is excellent for what I've heard from LMMS; good rhythms and usage of effects and different sounds. The "melody" of sorts works well with the drop. There are however a few criticisms would like to voice. First of all, the percussion is too weak, which is a shame because I liked your beat. The kick is present but drowned out by the synths, and the snare sounds nearly nonexistent (the high hats were good though!). Second of all, the mix was pretty uneven, meaning the different sounds in the drop had wildly different volume levels and stereo width. It's a fairly annoying problem to fix when you have a lot of different patches, and I'm guilty of this too when I make dubstep/electro style things
. With that said, you should definitely polish it up and finish it! This is making me want to go back to making some 'step again, but I already have three projects I really should finish before I start a new one.
