Hi friends!
I'm in the process of producing another EP - should be my biggest one yet! Here's a dubstep track I'm trying to put out...still very rough and missing vocal samples ;). Let me know what you think so far. I'll put up a full length sometime soon!
Please check out my soundcloud!

Thanks for the tip :)
I'd suggest some M/S compression on it to bring out the sounds on the stereo channels a bit more so it fills it out, but I say that about everyone's music haha.
It'll give the illusion of oomph on the bass, since the actual bass is ok
The intro is a bit loud too, maybe -3db that shit down so the drop hits harder?
Dude I blow at sidechain/compression whatever how do you do it teach me :C
If you use Ableton to make your dubstep, you absolutely have to learn how to sidechain the subbass channel using the kick.
I usually have the SIDECHAIN input as the kick @ -12DB provided the kick peaks at ~9DB, and the EQ input at the absolute peak frequency of the kick @ 12Q which is the most acute and highest Q it allows using the Ableton Compressor.
I then set the Ableton Compressor's threshold to whatever will make the subbass's gain reduce by about 3DB or whatever keeps it all clean.
The settings should be FF1, and the attack at the lowest setting, and the release about 55ms or however long you think the attack of the kick is.
Maybe do the same with the normal bass / wobble /whatever channel's sidechain compressor at 0DB and the Q at .75 or something with less extreme settings or even not use it at all if there's no interference.
That'll make the kick come in clean over the subbass and not interfere. You can make something similar to this in FL Studio with the peak tool and an equalizer from what I've gathered but I haven't used it in a while to know that. I just know it's possible e.e
M/S compression is essentially sidechaining the sides to the mid, but it's a bit more complicated than that and you can find tuts on like, youtube for that hahaha.
Also, nice track!
I'd also like to say thank you, ScreamFox, for being so thoughtful to all the people commenting on your video by thanking them for liking your song.
It shows that you care, which is way more appreciation than a number of suspect FA artist care to show.
^-^
Also, if you're having trouble with leads/sounds, I'd recommend throwing a limiter on your master bus/track/whatever it's called in FL, and experiment with maxing out volumes, sounds, etc. It's a cheap and somewhat unprofessional trick, but gives some nice results.
You can't really tell the difference if you do it right! You want the quiet parts' peaks like the intro and breakdowns and outro to be at LEAST 3db LESS than the bassy parts, you should be able to tell by looking at the waveform that it's quieter during these parts, too.
