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!

Ivan
