    Drums are good
    Choice of instruments is improvable imo
    In general the song needs more stuff filling it out (for example, when you do the wub wub wub solo, there is basically NOTHING else going on, and the emptiness is really blatant)
    Maybe add occasional drum fills/harmonization fills?

        Thanks for the tips, but I'm just wondering what you mean by the "wub wub wub solo". Do you mean the buildup (like at 0:42) or the more dancy part around 1:36? I tried to add in a few things in the whole song to fill space but I'll try to find other ideas to throw in there. I do like the instruments in it, considering it's a dubstep song. It's meant to sound aggressive and fairly different. I tried cleaning up the the slight noise in the main bass/synth but I thought it sounded worse in my opinion.

        Thanks!

        I know I can do better, I just need advice considering nobody ever comments on my tracks unless it's "cool song bro, check out my songs".

          Kick needs more thump (EQ) [not that much, sounds pretty decent already imo]
          Snare needs more presence / cut through the mix (EQ > Reverb (wet)) [this snare needs a lot of work imo -- it sounds very flat]

          Otherwise yeah, this is eons better than your older stuff. Maybe instead of relying on the "wubs" to be the melody add a secondary one.
          Also additionally pads will help you fill the mix. (empty at parts)

            This snare is such a bitch to work with, but I'll see if I can improve it any more. The kick is good with bass boost, but I suppose I shouldn't only produce with bass boost on and a subwoofer. I'll test it with different amounts of bass to get it better for everyone else. I don't think I'll drastically change the melody, but I could try to think of little riffs to throw in as well. I would use pads, but every time I tried it sounded extremely out of place and ruined the entire song. I also know I need to make the high EQ hi-hat quieter when it gets to the dancy part. Thanks for the help

              Sorry for the double post, but I made a few adjustments and nobody would see it if I didn't bump the thread. I don't plan on changing any of the actual melody/sounds too much but I did add a few tiny things to fill spaces (like strings in one section).

                @0:25, the additives and noises I added behind the music (not the best in the world, just an example of what possibilities)

                random stupid noises in the background can kick ass haha, especially in dubstep

                Experiment around with it some, making fillers and additives is actually a lot of fun in itself!

                Hopefully this helps some

                Edit: Oh yeah, for me at least, the best additives are generally all highs hahaha

                  Re: New Track of Mine

                    What speakers are you listening with? I have some low-end bass that might not register unless you have a subwoofer. At my friend's house it wouldn't come in until it was higher pitched.
