I've been working off and on with fl the past year or so, I think the past three months I've really learned a lot production wise, however my music sounds a bit boring. I think my drops are heading in the right direction, I just want some feedback, and some tips on what to do to make my tracks fuller and less repetitive.

Thanks in advance!

This, keep those drum hits loud and 'on top' of the mix at all times, even if you had the most epic wobble and drop ever, no rhythm just makes it noise.

Your main synth seems swallow everything up, that 'whirring' synth that plays alongside it sounds kinda faint and hidden. The secret to a sick drop is of course have a lot going on to keep the listener interested in your tune, but all in proportion. It's no good having some big noise that just hides everything else after all haha :P

Yeah the wibbly melody is far far too loud! I think you need to sidechain the synth & bass with the kick and snare, & use more surgical eqing to chop some more space for the beat!
