Hi Steve, I liked the Dubstep music you recommended and never herd of Nero. I like different genres like drum&Bass,, Electronica, poprock, Spanish Rock among others. I have also actually dabbled a little with remixing in the Dubstep stile. However, I don’t think I completely understand what makes Dubstep, Dubstep. I thought what made Dubstep was its distinctive wawa bass lines; by the way some producers can get pretty crazy with their Wawa bases! The link you emailed sounds more like a modern style of rock, though I could hear the Wawa bass at some points in the Nero song. The producer in this music did not get too crasy with the Wawa bass. I have also worked on yours and everybodies panning suggestions and I feel I am arriving to something I can be good with. I am also presently working on a club remix of the same Kascade and Adam K song I emailed to this list ; and I am also thinking of making a Dubstep version, though I have not started this remix. Thanks and cheers!
