My second attempt at Dubstep. Hopefully it's better than my first.

Edit: Added pro mix

Just added the pro mix version. Hopefully it's not suffering from the frequency issues of my last track.

The arp melody line really fascinated me, like it and enoyed listening.
I somehow agree with Vortifex, the snare appeared too dry to me and could get really great with some plate reverb!
Apart from that, great work!

i like it. production is there, dynamics and frequency balance are in check

but as others have noted, i think the drums are the weak link.
for the genre, a punchy kick is desired, punchy, not over compressed and redlining in the mix.
the kick as it is now, sounds over compressed and mixed at a lower ideal volume,
resulting in that lack of "punch".
the snare can indeed benefit from some room reverb to make it more 3 dimensional.
good job other than that, keep it up

this is acceptable freq spectrum balance, well done!

Thanks for all of your feedback! When you guys say punchier kick do you mean more saturation or just louder?

a punchy kick will generally have a fast attack and decay with little sustain.
an over compressed kick has its tail pushed up in volume to the level of the attack
making its volume level equal across its duration. the use of a transient shaper plugin
like sleepy time's TRANSIENT is great for adding this punch

Here's the revised mix. Added more reverb to the snare and reduced the compression on the kick. Let me know how it sounds.
