Hey, first off, thanks for all the replies and crits in my last thread, unfortunately I forgot about it for too long and didn't want to bump.
Now, down to business, since then I've made two more songs :O, but, only one is really a song, the other was more of an experiment.
So i present to you M&C - Hypertension.

C&CA :D
Needs deeper bass.
you may be right, but just to be sure, Soundcloud streams at 128kb/s so download it for full 320 quality
You need sub bass, probably the most defining part about dubstep as a genre is the sub-bass. Mid-range wobbles (which you seem to handle quite well) don't make a song 'dubstep', if you listen to all dubstep artists you may hear mid-range sounds but these are always backed up by a beefy sub bass.
I remeber you, posted the dubstep song Hallucinating. I liked it so I downloaded it and have listend to it quite a few times since then. This is pretty good as well, but the guys above me are right.
The sub's there, you just need to increase to volume of it a bit since it's being dominated by the wobble. Also at 1:38-2:05 the bass gets rather muddy.
I don't know, experiment a bit.
Thoughts as I listen.
I hope it doesn't have that effect on it the whole time. Ok, it is building up which is nice. The effect is still there, but less noticeable. The transition around 1:30 doesn't work very well. Ok you started to build up some tension and then released it, not sure if this is good or not. 3:25, the pattern is getting pretty boring. The ending is bad. I find this to be the case with a lot of electronic songs posted on here, it seems like the creator will just end the song where they run out of ideas. Or at least that is the impression I get.
I think it sounds interesting, and the composition was good, but musically I feel like it was lacking. I feel like this is more an action movie that uses all these cool special effects to make things interesting. It seemed like you had to keep adding samples to old ideas to make the riff sound interesting. The song could be EQ'd a bit more so some of it is less harsh on the ears.

That isn't going to make a difference with the bass. The clarity may increase, but it won't make any significant change to the levels.
It really must be my speakers or how my speakers are effecting my mastering because honestly the sub bass almost dominates on my end.
Thanks for all the C&C though and Pepin is 100% right, I need some real mix down work and I need to think about buildups and stop slacking on change-ups when I get really into something.
Hypertension? What the fuck kind of name is that?
That's like me naming my new song Diabetes or something...
