WTH so cooool ngl
So it's my first earable dubstep drop... I was quite inspired by Fracture by NightKilla//Rukkus/Realistik (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/433947) so I made a kind of remix/rearangement. I don't think it's a very good song, but It taught me a lot for making dubstep.
So, yeah, it's my first dubstep song, and I hope not the last one :)

This is nice. That snare is great for most the track, but it doesn't work super well as a lead-up to the drop. Sounds a bit forced, especially since it's not one of those supercut snares from the excessively loud period of dubstep.
I like the haus style bass for the dub, although I would've liked to hear more pan play. Even the offbeat vocal sample ('bounce', is it?) switching from one ear to the other would've been cool. Just something to give it a little more bounce and shuffle. Some 16ths on the hats could've helped, too.
I'm making a note here: more panning (and better snares). Thanks for your feedback!
-Edit- The vocal sample was more like 'Dial'.
Not bad! Fun instrumentation and progression. I really like the automation work during the build-up. The drop sounds almost cute in a way. If you want to up the intensity there, I'd suggest changing up the beat pattern to emphasize the off-beats a tad more. Right now, you have a pretty square kick-snare-kick-snare thing going, and that doesn't really feel as cathartic as kick....kicksnare-kick-ki-ki-kSNARE, y'know? Other than that, I just wish you had fleshed out the structure a bit more. This would make for a really nice full-length track. Might need some more fill at some point, but I understand that drops are often pretty minimalistic. Keep at it, man!
Thank you so much for these advices :D
