I think there's still some mastering to be done, there's some sounds, like your bassline, that should stand out abit more.
Also I'm missing some drops, they don't have to be like 'STOP -> GO' but you could mix in some subtle drops

Overall has a nice sound, I don't know the original song but the remix sounds good.
Some song I started on with the DSF package, after hearing most of the entries I thought I'd try to make something cool aswell

think the loop you're remixing is very remixable! idea is good! you need to EQ your kick more with the original kick of the song, I don't think thta hat you have mixes with the song so try to find something more subtle, the bassline works, boost it! it's needs to be there, and indeed, look for a subtle drop... maybe reverse the loop for 1/4 at the end and do some stuff with that..

I listened to your tune and I definitly like it! It's very warm and subtle, actually a dark deep feel good track... not much to comment on, the EQing is very nicely done,.. exciting track!

when your wobbly wobble bass drops I get the impression that the harmonics are off... it's also very *There*, maybe turn down the volume... I love the break, fuck dubstep traditions, do your own thing, creative! it's getting there... do some reading on harmonics and EQing in the bible... also i'm missing some structure in the song, maybe a simple lead will fix that!

Great work of vocals and bass sound, aswell as the spooky/moody lead synth. Mastering is very good aswell.
Only thing that might be better is maybe get a heavier kick, this one sounds dry while I think you should try a heavy fucking banging kick ^^
Thanks for the tip about the reggae notes I should add to my song, it was just the thing it needed, so newer version incoming soon.

There is hardly any EQing in there mate if I am honest, just a little bit on the pad what zooms in it and out and a tiny bit of filtering on the lead, 'bout it! But thanks for the feedback!
Wow this tune is quite, unexpected haha, the drum work is great, the bass is dirty and in your face (but it works) and sick left 4 dead sample, the mix sounds fresh too

If you just pay attention while producing your track, EQing afterwards isn't always neccesary, but still very nicely done, I like the flow, the track never gets boring and I gotta love your drum track man.
So thanks to roodboy, nearly finished version of my latest track:

I like it once it drops, both times but I don't like the intro with the skippy drums, it kinda makes it hard to get into the drum work is big though and the melody is nice and all the random sounds - good work! I'd work on the breakdown/intro though

this is a track ive been working on. its only received a rough mix inside Live.
i think my weak points are many at this point, in particular my arrangement. so if anyone has any good criticisms/advice, thatd be awesome!

Hrmm the track for me kinda sounds monotoned. Needs some little builds in there and a bit of hype IMO. Others may say different. Depends what you're really trying to accomplish I guess. Maybe add a synth or something in there, spice it up? Better kicks/snares/claps?

I really like the sound once the bass kicks in, I think you should try to put some breaks in the subbass , so it doesn't sound so plain, and you get a more dubstep sound if that's what you're looking for.
Masteringwise, there's some work on boosting some sounds, like your bass can be abit louder, and your kick abit heavier , less dry (try a small boost at 100-150Hz and cut at 300+ Hz)

This sounds way too plain man, drums need more work, you need a solid subline aswell m8.
Gets better at 2.20 but it'd still be alot better with better drums and a bassline.
