Intro has nice energy, though is a bit sparse. The drop didn't seem to have as much impact in the lower frequencies. Maybe you were going for a more subtle drop? breakdown at 1:26 is nice, but somehow I don't feel like the song has actually gotten to the "good part". 1:50 feels more like the actual song, kinda. I think you could actually add MORE layers/sounds/textures into things, though.

It's a good song, though I'm not sure I'd call it dubstep—the drop didn't drop very much, and there isn't much wubbing. Oh well, genre labels are kinda silly anyway, I guess.

It's a good start, but I think you can add more to it, expand on the riffs and musical ideas...

The drop is like...all sub.

My bad you're right, I was imprecise, or kinda just wrong... It seemed/felt like it was super super sub, and then not much else but the mids/highs... no low bass that is above sub, if that makes sense. Or maybe I'm just a newbie who should have just said that it sounds kinda muddy... :\

I think I was just wanting more variation to come in at the drop, like musically or something. Anyway, it's a good song...

Well, the addition of the 8-Bit sounds in the intro and the bassline, it was a nice touch. The bass is huge in all the right places which leads me to my next point of it being well mixed.

I also like the vocals and that the second drop had that quicker LFO, which really changed the feel from the first drop.

Parts i didn't like so much, was the rising tension in the bassline being repeated twice with no change (Maybe cut the end off the second and drop that vocal again, especially as it then the next bar it starts to fall)

I hope that makes sense.

I like this lots :)

It's quite simple and sparse, but I mean that as a compliment rather than a criticism. I'm always guilty of trying to pack too much into my tracks, and this is a good example of choosing just right amount of elements.

The mix itself is great - very clear and well balanced, with everything neatly tucked away across the freq spectrum.

Good work. And nice to hear some proper dubstep for a change!

@Kreepr - Nothing wrong with that :) Check out Savant!

@Dast, I like it, but there are some things that I would change. First of all, the drop and the verses are like two completely different songs, there isn't much in common with them at all. The mix seems pretty good to me, I think its a little muddy and could use a bit of cleaning up but it still sounds pretty good!

Nice work! I can see how much you've improved since you first started out too
