you've just gotta listen to it and feel it and add as you go. when it strats to drag, add something new or change up your sound in a way that makes it fresh. then that'll get boring and you have to add something new. there's no formula, you just have to feel what you're doing.

try just copyin your bass to a new track and layer your bass a little bit, this has worked for me before in the past, just changin up the noise in the smallest way can make the biggest difference

Def the the high hats, I am just learning how key they are in song movement. being relatively new to music I am not sure if my input will be worth a whole lot but I have noticed in a lot of songs that the kick drum also has a a lot of driving force, say you have one kick in a bar, then in the next you have two etc etc, if you change this up in some way it can give the illusion of a song speeding up or slowing down, giving it a ncie push pull and a lot of producers do that. It is really easy in dubstep considering that the drums are halftime so there is a lot of room for kicks to be placed in crazy spots.

:wink:

Less is more, aim to achieve tension in a track by making the listener wait or want that extra element... when you do introduce it it will have far more impact.

I like to pull everything out except the sub and kick and snare for 2 bars, then I'll gradually add more hi hats and the other percussion over 2 more bars. Then bring in a new element.
