Man, you were trying to dubstep and came up with this? You really missed the target! Not a bad track by any means, you're giving that machinedrum quite a workout :) BTW The kick sound is particularly good (but not really dubstep sounding). If you're doing dubstep, try using sampled drum sounds, rather than synthesised ones. And a simple square/sine for the sub bass, layered with some more audible cleanish dnb type bass. Then some higher pitched oriental sounding strings/wind etc. over the top of it. |

Or just write a drum n bass tune, then slow it down to about 130 bpm. |

or write a witty sarcastic comment about dubstep production |

Not dubstep in any thinkable way, but the production is really interesting. I actually kinda like it. |

not your best track, but then again i suppose it's just a fragment or demo. i don't know much dubstep. i actually still enjoy your EEEXPEE shenanigans. next time, i say bring the noise. sorry, thought i'd have something more interesting to say... |

i really just donno how to do it, and im being payed to do it. with some stringy or plucky melody could this qualify as "dubstep" or "grime" ?? would a person who was real into it be pleased? ceri Jc: yeah the MD is fucking dope, the last couple of weeks thats all im making whole songs with when i'm home from work aahhahahaha its ridiculous |

ceri JC: do they distort the bass track in dubstep like they do in DNB? |
||||||||

It really depends on who is doing it. I can do a dubstep bass sound easily without it being distorted. Some people aren't going to like the advice I am going to give here because its an expensive option, but dubstep bass sounds really come easily with an analogue monosynth. It takes me a vew seconds to throw one together on my moog. Using reverb on your bassline can help too. Another piece of advice would be to listen to some dancehall instrumentals. Dancehall has a similar rhythm to dubstep, and IMO is an easier one to get the feel of. |

Man...they only do that on shitty post-'99 dnb. :/ |

The bassline in 90%+ of proper dustep tracks is actually done with software synths. :) You can do it with analogue synths of course (my 101's current patch is actually a dubstep bass at the moment), but it's not really necessary. I agree about not distorting the bass (or if you do, keep it minimal). I tend to use either a sine or square for the sub bass and then a cleanish sounding bass for the audible bass (with a bit of non-lfo controlled freq/res modulation for the wobble in places). Hope that helps. |

i've yet to hear an acustic dubstep track i.e with bass guitar(extra sub) guitar(effects), piano, drums etc , bits of vocals.. i dont just mean dub, but the dubstep feel |
||||||||

So, from what I gleamed, "dubstep bass" isn't determined by the notes played, but by the effects placed on what ever notes are played. And those notes can be a monotonous mariachi bassline? Just put the required effects on any type of bassline and you can transform it to dubstep? |

Yes thank God, the curse of "real instruments" that nearly did for DnB in the late 90s hasn't reached dubstep yet. ;) In all seriousness, I have seen an acoustic band doing a cover of a couple of kode 9's tracks being mixed, albeit slowed down to about 120bpm. It was pretty good given that it was done with instruments, but acoustic instruments (used as is rather than sampled and fx'd) don't really sound right for the dark oppressive, dread filled mood of most dubstep IMO. I'd be interested to hear some dubstep done with traditional dub production values (session musician's parts recorded, then fx'd and mixed by the engineer/producer afterwards). |

its like autechre meets dubstep.. minus the dubstep. yeah. this isnt dubstep at all. it is however, good. |

Can understand now why you must be going deaf huh. You know it kinda could be dubstep if it wanted to be.. that open=>close warbly bit in particular. Kinda like ceri says you could tweak or add some inconspicious layer to the bass which would boost up the chordancy for really resonating on a dancefloor. Repeated listening however is what makes it wicked, so minus dubstep is a good thing in this case,, |
