Really awesome synths as always, although I'm still not liking how much you side chain to the kick. The snare is a little quiet/not very punchy.
On the parts where there are more kicks the bass volume goes too low, you could take the sidechain off at those times. I also find the lack of proper hihats to be kinda disturbing. Other than that it's a pretty solid track. I like the intro
This sounds like the work of a professional producer, oh wait, you are one.

Hardware is for people who like knobs and buttons. Other than that, FL Studio is good enough. Your drums still suck but creative synths and stuff. You should probably hipass your kick around 80 hz or so, it seems to be fucking with the sub a lot. And your stuff is still overcompressed, which is really annoying whenever a white noise whoosh or something comes along.

And I get 0$ for making music..but yeah i'll fool around with it some more and see if I can't get a better mix.
I recognized Modern Talking in there
This is pretty sweet, great synth but try to mix it up a little with the sounds. Also I feel like the sidechain compression on the kick drum is a little too strong.

Speaking of Skrillex, because you have good talent when it comes to mixing and composing you should do some research on mastering and sampling. What is it that make professional tracks sound so full and professional? There's a lot of reasons, but in the realm of Dubstep there are small things you can do that improve your track immensely. Things like layering your bass into several different instruments to cover all ranges of the spectrum which gives the track a full sound, mixing audio to make sure all instruments are hitting at the right frequency, and resampling instruments and filtering them through effects processors to achieve incredibly high quality sounds. You have a lot of potential and I hope to see you striving to improve even more with your tracks on here.

BTW, your track is awesome.
A little different from the stuff I listen to. But very good! Keep it up! Maybe add some alternation between main synth sounds.
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;34133397]This sounds like the work of a professional producer, oh wait, you are one.[/QUOTE] Ill have to disagree with that one.
This.. This is the type of dubstep I recognize you making, mate. Its just friendly sounding, nothing harsh. Chill, slow, and all around easy on the ears.
The Drop Man. The Fucking Drop Was so Heavy Man. Fuckin Lovin That Drop Braw, That was some Wicked SHit Braw
[QUOTE=AgentBoomstick;34195265]Things like layering your bass into several different instruments to cover all ranges of the spectrum which gives the track a full sound,[/QUOTE] do people actually do that? I always feel like i'm cheating when i do, but if it's an actual... thing, that's great news :) re: track - agree that the sidechaining is very harsh at times, but got some great sounds here! (maybe cut down the release on the sidechain?)
