#)No Constant Wobs! As i mentioned above, simply putting consecutive notes one after the other and adding an LFO to it, doesnt sound good. Pretty much all dubstep is in 140 BPM, so that makes life easier. But it really does help when starting out to see the kind of pattern they used. I dont really do this anymore, unless im properly trying to remix something. Many times i've put a drum beat into cubase and cut it so that it loops properly, and just overlayed a bass drum and snare over the top to see what pattern they used.

Listen to the professional songs and try and break them down. Its useful however, to see how they made the song and what kind of scaleset they used. I've made songs very similar to Cockney Thug, Mr Muscle, and Flapjack (by the Others) but they were just for fun.

Quite a lot of my songs are based on pro songs, And i've even managed to find out the notes for a few of my favorite ones. Stenchman makes very disjointed dubstep, but its still very heavy and bassy and goodness knows how he gets away with it really. People like Kromestar are quite minimalistic, Low basslines and I dont think he ever speeds things up in his drum beats. #)There are many different types of Dubstep out there, try and find yours.

Caspa can get away with it because he knows how to work synths well, and the quality of the synth he uses is just fantastic. Unless you've hit upon an amazing synth configuration, its not going to sound that good. LFOs are useful and if you want to make a song similar to 'Cockney Thug' its fine, But one thing that really makes a Dubstep song sound quite amateur i find is just having long notes like C, E and F with an LFO on them. ( So now i can make a quick drum beat, and set up my MIDI track to output to my Synth, and just play along until something sounds nice. I've got an *extremely* basic knowledge of chords, but i also found a very good tool called Scaletool, which tells me any chord i wish to know and I use alot. Before i was just putting notes in and hoping they sound good. I can load up a synth, and just fiddle around with notes and LFO settings until I find something worth making. I cant play piano (although im kind of learning) but the MIDI keyboard helps so much.

Its something like 8 or 9 GB now, and its got loads of stuff from magazine free-bee collections to things i found online, to samples from TV and Films and anything else i thought was worth saving. Over the years (probly about 8 now) I've built up my sample collection from many many different sources. Its logical, and I really like the way it works, because its quite similar to the old MM v2 that I used to use, just alot, lot better. And im going to investigate Reason soon, when i get round to it.

Other music production software (DAWs) that are really good are Reason, Reaktor, and Sony Acid Pro (which Rusko uses). Mind you, i wasnt making dubstep then, just screwy messy trippy type songs with various waves that i had.

It was basically an arranger and nothing more, and i knew nothing about VSTs and effects or anything. I started off making music a long time ago in Magix Music Maker v2, which was free of a magazine, and was crap. Personally I use Cubase SX3 (Im hoping to get version 5 soon, on a student license, for 241) Which i really like. Things like fruity loops and magix music maker are all very well and good, but they dont produce the results and the versitality that the pro's use. #) I think a good thing to start out with is your software. Rather than do a step by step process of making good music, i'll just write out a few pointers, as you cant really say 1) do this 2) do this 3) publish, it doesnt work like that unfortunately! So lets begin.

Particular favorites are Caspa ( and Rusko ( These two are what got me into dubstep in the first place, listening to Fabriclive37 (my all time favorite track being Africa, by 'The Others') and since then i've found lots of other artists that i absolutely love (See my profile page, But a few names are Bar9, The Widdler, Reso, Stenchman and Suspect) all of which can be found on myspace. Im not a professional by any means, but as I said, i've had good feedback and i'd like to share my thoughts on the music making process with you all.įirst of all, if you dont know what Dubstep is, go and check it out. I dont like to boast, at all, but I feel i've made some good dubstep songs recently and judging from the feedback i've had on looperman I think thats quite a far statement.Īnyway, I want to share some of technics and advice with people, as I think it could help out people quite alot.
