    yeah lots!
    I sacked up the kick and snares and eq'ed them as well
    I also added reverb to the entire track as well as a pads layer to give it some more depth on the intro/breakdown/outro sections

    Put a huuge reverb on the snare, but use only the high reverb, turn the low down. A reverb over the master is in 99% of the cases just a shitty idea. Use it on seperate tracks, on the master your track will lose contrast and character.

    in dubstep, reverb on the drums is pretty much always a good thing, and if you are struggling with the puch of the drums, try using a multi band compressor on your master, look up some toturials on that, there are plenty.

    You might wanna use a layered kick, just put a low kick on top of a high, punchy kick, (most producers call that the "top kick")

    To make your song a little more interesting just put some reverse claps, crashes and cowbells or anything in it.

    And at last, maybe put some pitch glides in your wobble, the wobble itself is actually quite good i think, it has its own sound.

    btw this really is not hatery, i'm just trying to help
    Good luck with producing

    Thanks very much everything I add to it I am doing for the first time so it is a learning experience and is knowledge I will keep with me. I know its not hatery because I specifically asked for criticism. After all how the hell am I gonna get better if I don't know what I need to improve, and its nice to have a fresh set of unbiased ears to listen to it. I am continually working on this track and will continue to post updated versions as I finish them. Thanks again!

    It really shows. No offence but parts are almost too much like the actual track. There's nothing wrong with being inspired, experimenting with, or recreating another artist's track but this had almost exactly the same notes. Anyways I thought it was pretty ok for the most part.

    Not that my opinion matters :
    mk128, maschine, oxygen25, firewire 410, ableton suite 8
