Here's what's wrong with this track:
- Spectral content from instrumentation: Way too much high end, sounds shrill and I'm sure it damn near gave me tinnitus.
- Sub content: Very distinct lack of a good low end.
- Arrangement: Lacks a very good structure. There's an intro, a buildup and a drop-- all are present, but transitions are very, very weak. Very repetitive
- Mixing: Your drums don't cut through anything. No elements of the track respond dynamically to other parts and everything collides.
- Mastering: None at all.

I'm sorry that I can't say anything good about this track besides "hey, it's better than some of the tracks on here." Good luck.

Thanks for the review! I am always trying to become a better musician so thank you for pointing out what I need to do better! :) although I do disagree with you.. I asked other people what they thought of the song and they all said it was amazing! (I asked people from newgrounds on a discord server) And I noticed based on your voting history that you have been zerobombing people lately because your music is not receiving good reviews, so you take out your anger by zerobombing people. If you don’t apologize right no to me i will get you banned because I have a. Proof and B. I know people that you zerobombed.

That was a very unwarranted modulation to a minor key at the drop. It's possible to do dubstep in major, you know, but you also could've modulated to the relative minor (B minor?) of the original key, rather than G minor. It would be much better to do so.
Bass design is lackluster and I feel like the drop is way too short for the buildup you create.
I still give 3.5 because it's okay; it's not as if I'd totally object to listening to it.

I respect your decision a lot.
I also feel that the subject is a dick. That's why I hesitated to upload it or not. That day I felt very disillusioned since my mother has a very serious and good illness.
That day I felt for the ass. And well the subject was very bad. I do not regret to upload it if not that many are accompanying and supporting you in what music. I respect your decision and thanks for your opinion

like generic edm

You need to widen your mix. Having only the percussive elements and risers occupy the sides of your mix doesn't work well.
It lacks any catchy rhythms or patterns for me to follow. Kick doesn't cut through the mix well enough, to the point that it seems like an afterthought under the bass.
Overall, it sounds like the basis for a good song, but I can't see myself listening again.

Kraftor responds:

Thanks, Auretilex was looking for advice on this.
I used R1 limiter on the master so yes most of the sounds are compressed a lot and you are right, I have to work on all the things you said.
Any tip on widening the whole mix? I know just one[Ozone] which I use after finishing a track.

your "best work" could use a lot of improvement.
The mix is done poorly, with a fair helping of frequency masking and poor EQ. Case in point: the area surrounding your snare's root tone and your chords' root seem to occupy the same frequency range. There's a load of clipping (distortion due to reaching a volume threshold). Things seem generally muddy.
The chord movement in the second "drop" or "chorus," I guess, doesn't have a lot of coherence to it, leaving me more confused than the first chorus.
You seem to have some sense of music, but it's not quite there yet. I know how it feels.

Lot7even responds:

Your entirely right about all of that. I'm still learning my DAW, and listening back, there is a lot of gain. Thanks!

holy shit it's way too shrill
unless my headphones are failing me, i'm telling you, you've got to take a look at an analyzer once in a while

the composition isn't shabby to say the least but the song itself sounds like you added noise and threw it through trash 2 and then high-passed it during the drop
you need to work on your mixing, and it needs a lot of work

ThiefOfVoid responds:

I know, like I said, this was made within 20 minutes. Of course it's going to sound like shit....

I don't have the best gear, all I have is a tablet, a keyboard, a phone and a computer....

It's not my best, I know :)

is it just a coincidence that atlass' tutorial on how to sound like shawn wasabi came out recently, or no?
nonetheless sounds good, wish i had your skills :(

Droid responds:

Lol no coincidence, it pushed me to at least attempt a track in similar style. And keep practicing!

yuo orae greAAT produsir!,!!!
