Here's a Drumstep track for any of you EDM lovers :D
There are probably a couple things wrong with the song, but I'm still learning!
Feedback would be nice! Thx!

= EDIT =
This got featured on EKFDubstep's channel on Youtube!!! *squee*
Thanks EKF :D

Let's do a breakdown as I listen-
Intro - cool synth, in the beginning, maybe add a high crash thingy?
"YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH BLANK FLANKS?" Add some vocal effects or something light like cutting lows and doing reverb on the highs? That might make it sound more incorporated.

-buildup (neat)
-drop
cut out a spot for the snare, it's getting buried, but I like the sound of it!
you might want to cut the respectable lower eq's of the supersaw when the kick and snare come in each time. It'll make a difference.

-second drop
cool basses! I can't hear that much sub, though?
No really awesome basses though wowzers

These vocal clips sound a little haphazard, but I don't think it's anything the MLP community isn't used to when it comes to using pone stuff.

Really cool overall

I'm beginning to notice alot of people using supersaw/trancey leads for Drumstep & Drum & Bass, anywho..

I felt that it was great from the beginning, and then the drop at 0:54 happened, which was fine, but then when you brought it back again so suddenly at 1:40, I felt maybe was a bit repetitive since you bring it back again at somewhere around 3:00, and then 3:50 again.

Maybe at 1:40 & 3:50, instead of bringing back the drop with the kick-kick-kick-kick~DROP, style, transition it differently, I don't quite know how you should go about doing that, maybe as I suggested before to someone else, slowly queue the modulated bass in, as if it were fighting through the lead, silence, then bam. (Yay for weird descriptions).

I'll also agree with Senn that the sub is somewhat missing/weak, I felt it could be stronger.

One last note, maybe a stronger snare hit as well, in Drumstep you want to have a heavy snare, I didn't feel the snare was THAT bad, but I felt it could have a bit more umph to it.

Thank you so much for the tips!
I'm still a total beginner and getting help from others is much appreciated :)
The sub-bass is actually something I'm really struggling on, even after watching many tutorials.
Anyways, thx for the feedback :)

Thx for the feedback! I love the help I'm getting :)
Yeah, some of my songs are getting repetitive, but the songs I'm working on next will be better :)
My sub-bass is definitely weak. SO STRUGGLING with it, even after watching many tutorials.
I'll work on that snare.

Again, thx for the feedback! Much appreciated :)
